Skitterend.

Akkommodasie is baie netjies en ek sal dit vir enige persoon aanbeveel. Ongelukkig kon ek nie die aand daar oorslaap nie en moes dringend na familie terugkeer.

Brilliant.

Accommodation is very neat and I would recommend it to any person. Unfortunately, I could not spend the night there and urgently had to return to my family.

Beslis die beste gastehuis met ongelooflike wonderlike mense teen billike pryse!

Van al die plekkies waar ons gebly het was Voëlroepersfontein Gastehuis die beste. Alles was net perfek. Pragtige huis wat soveel heimwee gebring het, mooiste tuin, Tannie en eggenoot het die mooiste omgee harte. Die personeel was almal baie vriendelik. Die ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke.

Definitely the best guest house with incredibly wonderful people at reasonable prices!

Of all the places we stayed Voëlroepersfontein Gastehuis was the best. Everything was just perfect. Beautiful house that brought so much homesickness, most beautiful garden, Aunt and husband have the most beautiful caring hearts. The staff were all very friendly. The breakfast was top notch.

Wonderlike ervaring. Het gevoel soos 'royalty'!

Die tuin is iets ongeloofliks en die kamers is ruim en vol sjarme. Die ontbyt was so keurig bedien met 'n pot vars blomme op die tafel, mooi musiek en 'n waterfontein wat uit die spruit spuit. Pragtige koffiekoppies wat jou soos die koningin laat voel en die heerlikste vrugtekelkie gevolg deur 'n vol warm ontbyt, en as jy so gelukkig soos ek is, sal daar selfs ook 'n mak duif op jou skouer kom sit! Puik ervaring! Ek gaan weer Albertinia toe gaan, al is dit net om daar te gaan bly!

Wonderful experience. Felt like 'royalty'!

The garden is something incredible and the rooms are spacious and full of charm. The breakfast was so elegantly served with a pot of fresh flowers on the table, beautiful music and a water fountain that spouts from the creek. Beautiful cups of coffee that make you feel like the queen and the most delicious fruit cup followed by a full hot breakfast, and if you're as lucky as I am, there will even be a tame pigeon perched on your shoulder! Great experience! I will go to Albertinia again, if only to stay there!

It has been the best stay ever.

The host, Marietjie, is very friendly, very helpful. We loved our stay with her and she is always available if you need anything. It was a very peaceful evening, quiet with a beautiful view when you woke up the next morning.

Hierdie was die beste verblyf gedurende ons hele sloertoer op 'n motorfiets deur die Oos- en Wes-Kaap al die pad huis toe tot in Gauteng.

Die gasvrou, Marietjie, is fynbesnede en behandel haar gaste met die grootste respek en waardigheid. Die huis, tuin, kuns, musiek, ontbyt en die gevoel by Voëlroepersfontein is onverbeterlik. Albertinia is 'n skoon, netjiese en veilige dorpie. Ons gaan 'n volgende besoek beplan en langer vertoef. Baie dankie vir uitstekende, trots Afrikaanse diens.

This was the best accommodation during our entire slog tour on a motorcycle through the Eastern and Western Cape all the way home to Gauteng.

The hostess, Marietjie, is refined and treats her guests with the utmost respect and dignity. The house, garden, art, music, breakfast and the feeling at Voëlroepersfontein is unbeatable. Albertinia is a clean, tidy and safe village. We are going to plan a next visit and stay longer. Thank you very much for excellent, proudly Afrikaans service.

An absolutely wonderful stay!

We (my mom, my sister and I) loved our brief stay here and would love to return for a longer stay one day. This place is a beautiful gem in the area, with the most beautiful garden and trees, as well as the best and warmest hospitality that one could wish for. After a 9 day trip, this was a relaxing haven and the kindness and consideration shown by the owners was so appreciated. The breakfast was 5 star too, served with beautiful roses from the garden, and with such elegance and style. The best ever! Thank you so much to the owners and lovely staff.

'n Oorslaap om te onthou.

Ons was besig om te verhuis vanaf George na Yzerfontein. Dit was 'n lang dag met treklorrie wat laat was en ons het 'n oornagplek by Albertinia gesoek. Ons keuse van Voëlroepersfontein was die regte een. Marietjie het ons tuis laat voel, vir ons 'n eetplek aanbeveel en die indrukwekkende biblioteek gaan wys. Ons wou vroegoggend vertrek en sou dus die groot ontbyt misloop. By ons vertrek het Marietjie egter reggestaan met 'n pakkie van die heerlikste padkos vir ons, net nog 'n bewys van Voëlroepersfontein se verbintenis tot uitstaande kliëntediens.

A sleepover to remember.

We were moving from George to Yzerfontein. It was a long day with a late lorry and we looked for a place to stay at Albertinia. Our choice of Voërloepersfontein was the right one. Marietjie made us feel at home, recommended us a place to eat and showed us the impressive library. We wanted to leave early in the morning and would therefore miss the big breakfast. However, upon our departure, Marietjie stood up with a packet of the most delicious road food for us, just another proof of Voëlroepersfontein's commitment to outstanding customer service.

Fantasties!

Die eienaar, Marietjie en haar personeel, Liefie en Enid is juwele. Hulle ontsien geen moeite vir hul gaste nie. Altyd vriendelik, altyd hulpvaardig, altyd netjies, altyd bereid om iets ekstra te doen en wil gedurig weet of hul gaste gemaklik en gelukkig is. Gaan kuier gerus, onthou om piekniek te hou onder die flustered boom. Jy sal NIE spyt wees nie. Ons kan nie wag vir n volgende geleentheid om weer daar tuis te gaan nie. Marietjie, julle is wonderlike mense!

Go and visit, remember to have a picnic under the flustered tree. You will not regret it. We can't wait for the next opportunity to go home there again. Marietjie, you are wonderful people!

Hemels!

Marietjie en haar span is fantasties. Van ons daar gearriveer het totdat ons weer vertrek het, het hulle alles in hul vermoed gedoen om ons so gemaklik as moontlik te hou. Wasgoed is gewas en gestryk, ons is vriendelik gegroet elke keer wanneer ons mekaar raak geloop het. Ons het selfs 'n oproep van Marietjie gekry om te hoor of ons veilig tuis is! Hulle is net absolute fantasties en ons sal glad nie twee keer dink om weer daar te gaan kuier nie. Baie dankie Marietjie, dit was wonderlik!

Heavenly!

Marietjie and her team are fantastic. From the time we got there to the time we left, they did everything they could think of to make us as comfortable as possible. Laundry was washed and ironed, we were greeted kindly every time we bumped into each other. We even got a call from Marietjie to find out if we were safe at home! They are just absolutely fantastic and we wouldn't think twice about going there again. Thank you very much Marietjie, it was wonderful!

Wonderlik en gasvry, voel soos om vir oupa en ouma te gaan kuier as kind. Baie dankie!

Voëlroepersfontein is die naaste wat ons as mens sal kan kom aan die Tuin van Eden op die Aarde. Hier kan mens die hand van God ervaar in die rustigheid en vrede wat die voëlgesang en die majestueuse Fluisterboom jou bied, dis wonderlik!

Rustige omgewing en die wonderlikste mense.

Marietjie is die wonderlikste mens en het ons dadelik laat tuis voel by haar plekkie. Reisigers kan gerus die moeite doen om by haar oor te slaap. Hier kan jy lekker uitrus en weer al jou kragte bymekaar kry.

Dankie vir die positiewe terugvoer, Monica! Jou boodskap herinner my aan die mooie vers: “Na waters waar rus is, lei Hy my heen...” Hier in die herfstyd is alles doodstil; die natuur begin wag vir die groei wat een van die dae weer diep onder die grond sal begin.
