Unbelievable, great, nice perfect place to get away.

Wow, we had a very great time. The weather was bad, but we made the most out of it. We were more than happy with the service. The manager is one of the most friendly persons that I have met. Thank you very much for a great weekend.

Nie daar geslaap nie, bitter onveilig, vuil en gladnie geskik vir alleen dame nie. Ek versoek my geld terug, want dis vals adverteer.

People were friendly but it was not what we expected.

Power was off and there was no water in the afternoon. It was a municipal problem in the area. Swimming pool is green.

Not bad but could have been better.

Automated gate did not work although the gate did have a motor but no remote, garage did not have a lock to be able to lock car safely. The house could do with a whole lot more improvements if the owners provided the management with funds to do so. Penny and her husband did well go above and beyond with what they had to make for a comfortable stay.

It was satisfactory.

The view was beautiful, the hospitality was good - however, the owner needs to pay attention to the maintenance of the bath/rooms. The shower cubicle/doors need to be thoroughly cleaned, and the bed/mattress needs to be replaced. It's lumpy and noisy. We were happy with the breakfast.

No eating or drinking in room. Cupboards where dirty.

Villa Ventura 's response

We humbly apologise for the cupboard. The matter has been referred to management for action. As we are not a self-catering facility, we request that no food is consumed in the bedrooms. This can lead to insect infestation. Guests are more than welcome to utilise the dining room area. Thank you for your review.

It was great.

The stay was great, the only difficulty I had was that no food is allowed in the bedroom, it kinda makes things difficult, like every time you have to eat you have to go to the dining area. You can't have your snack whenever you want to. It makes the stay a bit unpleasant.

Good day Nokulunga,

Dit het gevoel of ek by vriende kuier.

Villa Ventura het voorsien aan ons basiese behoeftes. Ons het 'n plekkie nodig gehad om te kan oornag vir 'n paar dae en nie 'n plaas se prys hoef te betaal nie. Net reg vir daardie doeleinde. Die ligging is ook baie ideaal en ooglopend veilig.

I enjoyed my stay, but would prefer for the host to give their guests more privacy and to clean more as we find to many hair in everything, from plates to out food.

I enjoyed our stay. Our host was very friendly and understanding. We enjoyed the breakfast, though some of the people say they found hair in their breakfast. Would recommend it to someone who is budget wise.

Dit was 'n aaklige ervaring en verblyf keuse.

Die eienaars is onvriendelik en die dame wat daar werk, weet nie hoe om kliëntediens te lewer nie. Sy en haar man het ons vriend en familielid weggewys elke keer as hulle daar net vir ons kom wag het. Sy is onvriendelik teenoor haar gaste en die blyplek is nie goed uitgelê nie. Daar word slegs 'n kamer en 'n badkamer vir ons gegee met geen yskas in die kamer om ons eie persoonlike goed in te kan bêre nie, slegs 'n groot yskas was vir al die gaste in 'n gang gelaat waar álmal hulle goed moes insit, wat ek vind is glad nie toelaatbaar nie. Die kombuis mag geen gas gebruik nie, en so moet mens alles op die vuur gedoen word of mens moet gaan uiteet, omrede is daar ook nie vir gaste borde, glase en eetgerei voorgesit word wanneer daar 'n braai gehou word nie. Die swembad is vuil en vol hare, wat mens kan sien dit word nie elke dag skoongemaak nie. Die foto's is glad nie ooreenstemmend met hoe die blyplek regtig lyk nie en so sal hierdie Villa Ventura ons nooit weer sien nie en sal ook nie dit aanbeveel of toewys na ander mense nie.

It was a horrible experience and accommodation choice.

The owners are unfriendly and the lady who works there does not know how to provide customer service. She and her husband turned away our friend and family member every time they came there just to wait for us. She is unfriendly to her guests and the accommodation is not well laid out. We are only given a room and a bathroom with no fridge in the room to store our own personal things, only a large fridge was left for all the guests in a corridor where everyone had to store their things insert, which I find is not permissible at all. The kitchen may not use any gas, and so everything must be done on the fire or one must go out to eat, for which reason plates, glasses and cutlery are not served to guests when a braai is held. The pool is dirty and full of hair, which you can see it is not cleaned every day. The photos do not correspond at all to how the accommodation really looks and so we will never see this Villa Ventura again and will not recommend or assign it to other people.

Villa Ventura 's response

Hello there,
The guest did have 2 visitors the first day who swam and braaied with him that evening, however, after a discussion with the guest we advised that visitors are not permitted at the Villa.
We are a Bed and Breakfast establishment and not a self-catering establishment. Accordingly, guests are not allowed the use of the kitchens.
Breakfast is supplied and guests are to make their own arrangements for their other meals. This is fairly standard practice in a Bed and Breakfast.
Our advertising pictures perfectly match our offering and in no way is there any misrepresentation.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
Yours faithfully,
Paris Fitches
