Beautiful view! Easily accessible from the airport. Everything very neat and clean. View from the room is beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

Pragtige uitsig! Maklik bereikbaar vanaf die lughawe. Alles baie netjies en skoon. Uitsig vanaf die kamer is pragtig. Sal beslis aanbeveel.

Excellent value for the price. I stayed in the Room with a view. Beautiful view over Somerset, the Strand and Gordons Bay. The spacious room is equipped with everything you need, and there was even a mug of milk in the fridge to make tea or coffee. The DStv has access to all the channels and I was able to watch the rugby, something that is sometimes not available at top quality and very expensive self-catering houses and guest houses. Thank you for your hospitality Carla, I will definitely stay @ Abelia Guest House again in the future.

Uitstekende waarde vir die prys. Ek het in die Room with a view gebly. Pragtige uitsig oor Somerset, die Strand en Gordonsbaai. Die ruim kamer is met alles wat mens nodig het toegerus, en daar was selfs 'n bekertjie melk in die yskas om tee of koffie te maak. Die DStv het toegang tot al die kanale en ek kon na die rugby kyk, iets wat soms by topgehalte en baie duur selfsorghuise en gastehuise nie beskikbaar is nie. Dankie vir jou gasvryheid Carla, ek sal beslis in die toekoms weer by @ Abelia Guest House bly.

Pleasant and comfortable. Had a great stay/slept, but wasn't there during the day.

Aangenaam en gerieflik. Heerlik gebly/geslaap, maar was bedags nie daar nie.

Pleasant. We had a great stay, everything was good and well. Those who visit the guest house will not be disappointed at all.

Aangenaam. Ons het baie lekker gebly, alles was goed en wel. Diegene wat die gastehuis besoek sal glad nie teleurgestel wees nie.

Nice. Nice and relaxing, except for the load shedding and their inverter not working properly.

Dear Ilze, Thank you for the rating and I hope you enjoyed your complimentary upgrade to one of our luxury rooms. There was nothing wrong with our solar system or the inverter. The only time when the inverter has to reset itself is to protect itself from a spike or when some of our clients use heating devices and recharge personal items that use high voltage. We do ask in our welcoming letter that people stay mindful of the load shedding time and 99.9% of the time everyone does. I hope this once off situation was not too much of an inconvenience for you. Please note, not many guesthouses in this area provide solar electricity for entire rooms, from boiling kettles to blow drying your hair. Most just provide emergency light and WiFi. We hope that we can welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Carla, Abelia Guesthouse Owner.

Liewe Ilze, Dankie vir die gradering en ek hoop jy het jou komplimentêre opgradering na een van ons luukse kamers geniet. Daar was niks fout met ons sonnestelsel of die omskakelaar nie. Die enigste tyd wanneer die omskakelaar homself moet terugstel, is om homself teen 'n piek te beskerm of wanneer sommige van ons kliënte verwarmingstoestelle gebruik en persoonlike items wat hoëspanning gebruik, herlaai. Ons vra wel in ons verwelkomingsbrief dat mense bedag moet bly op die beurtkrag-tyd en 99,9% van die tyd wat almal doen. Ek hoop hierdie eenmalige situasie was nie te veel van 'n ongerief vir jou nie. Neem asseblief kennis, nie baie gastehuise in hierdie area voorsien sonkrag vir hele kamers nie, van kookketels tot die droogblaas van jou hare. Die meeste verskaf net noodlig en WiFi. Ons hoop dat ons jou in die toekoms weer kan verwelkom. Vriendelike groete, Carla, Abelia Gastehuis Eienaar.

Dear Coral, I am so sorry that you didn't like the budget room you picked. The Corporate room is the cheapest room of my five rooms available and is marked as the budget room for that reason. If you wanted a room with a view, you could have chosen the 'Room with a View', which has both mountain and sea views. This costs only R130 more per night. Each of my other four spacious rooms is individually decorated according to a theme and can accommodate up to three people. Most of my rooms have a small kitchenette, like all the rooms, including a microwave, kettle, fridge and a toaster. They also offer free WiFi and full access to DSTV or Netflix (your room had all these features but did not have a kitchenette and a view). All my rooms are serviced daily and cleanliness is something I am very proud of. Studio 1 was available during your two-night stay here. If you felt that the Corporate room was too small for one person, why didn't you ask for an upgrade instead of criticising my guesthouse on this platform? You selected the room based on your budget. We did our best to make you feel at home. Kind Regards, Carla Winter, Owner of @Abelia Guesthouse P.S. It's such a pity that people are quick to post a negative review, but all the compliments I receive throughout the year are not captured here. I can't be blamed for your choices. Everything you received was as promised in my advert.

Liewe Coral, Ek is so jammer dat jy nie van die begrotingskamer wat jy gekies het gehou het nie. Die Korporatiewe kamer is die goedkoopste kamer van my vyf kamers wat beskikbaar is en word om daardie rede as die begrotingskamer gemerk. As jy 'n kamer met 'n uitsig wou hê, kon jy die 'Kamer met 'n uitsig' gekies het, wat beide berg- en see-uitsigte het. Dit kos net R130 meer per nag. Elkeen van my ander vier ruim kamers is individueel volgens 'n tema versier en kan tot drie mense akkommodeer. Die meeste van my kamers het 'n klein kombuisie, soos al die kamers, insluitend 'n mikrogolf, ketel, yskas en 'n broodrooster. Hulle bied ook gratis WiFi en volle toegang tot DSTV of Netflix (jou kamer het al hierdie kenmerke gehad, maar het nie 'n kombuisie en 'n uitsig gehad nie). Al my kamers word daagliks gediens en netheid is iets waarop ek baie trots is. Studio 1 was beskikbaar tydens jou verblyf van twee nagte hier. As jy gevoel het dat die Korporatiewe kamer te klein is vir een persoon, hoekom het jy nie vir 'n opgradering gevra in plaas daarvan om my gastehuis op hierdie platform te kritiseer nie? Jy het die kamer gekies op grond van jou begroting. Ons het ons bes gedoen om jou tuis te laat voel. Vriendelike groete, Carla Winter, Eienaar van @Abelia Gastehuis P.S. Dit is so jammer dat mense vinnig 'n negatiewe resensie plaas, maar al die komplimente wat ek deur die jaar ontvang word nie hier vasgevang nie. Ek kan nie blameer word vir jou keuses nie. Alles wat jy ontvang het was soos belowe in my advertensie.

The departure and accommodation were quite acceptable. Overall ventilation in the living area is poor and no flow of natural air which makes it unhealthy. More windows or ventilation to the outside and also on the stoep area is essential!

Die vertrek en verblyf was heel aanvaarbaar. Algehele ventilasie in die woonarea is swak en geen deurvloei van natuurlike lug wat dit ongesond maak. Meer vensters of ventilasie na buite en ook op die stoep area is noodsaaklik!

Thank you Johan I'm sorry to hear that you had a problem with the ventilation of the room. The very spacious interior room with a sun room has many advantages but one disadvantage is that there is no direct door and window where light can flow. Since you stayed here, I have upgraded the entire guest house with "solar" and also installed a large fan for the room. So you can now as Eskom give power to the "Aircon" and in the times when there is no power and just solar turn on the electric fan. It was a particularly hot time when you were here, but I believe that the problem has now been resolved. If I welcome you here again, I would suggest that you stay in the boat room with large doors that lead out to the pool area. Hope to welcome you again. regards Carla

Dankie Johan Ek is jammer om te hoor dat jy n probleem gehad het met die ventelasie van die kamer. Die baie ruim Binne kamer met 'n sonkamer het baie voordele maar een nadeel is dat daar nie n direkte deur en venster is waar lig kan vloei nie. Ek het vandat jy hier gebly het wel die hele gastehuis op gradeer met "solar" en ook vir die kamer 'n groot waaier geinstaleer. Dus kan jy nou as Eskom krag gee die "Aircon" aan he en in die tye wat daar nie krag is nie en net solar die elektriese waaier aan sit. Dit was n besondere warm tyd wat julle hier was maar ek glo dat die probleem wel nou op gelos is. As ek julle weer hier verwelkom sal ek voorstel dat julle eerder in die boot kamer bly met groot deure wat uit loop na swembad area. Hoop om julle weer te verwelkom. Groete Carla
