A farm experience with everything you need for an overnight stay. We had a nice stay, aircon would have been very welcome. Room and bathroom are very neat. Thanks for kind hostess.

N plaas ervaring met als wat jy nodig het vir n oornag. Ons het lekker gebly, aircon sou baie welkom gewees het. Kamer en badkamer is baie netjies. Dankie vir vriendelike gasvrou.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your stay. We were unaware the hot water was a problem every day as it was unfortunate that an earth leakage fault caused the geyser to trip over a weekend, but thankfully after we were notified, this was rectified very quickly. The communal area was hired out to a private party of long-term guests (who are responsible for their own cleaning). Our apologies for any miscommunication in this regard. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an improved stay.

Distant. No covered parking. Very limited internet and even cell phone reception. Rooms very stuffy and no option for a trek. The place has its place but is not suitable for business travelers. There are also no dinner or breakfast options - not even in the area. Afrikaans is also not an option although it is advertised as such.

Afgeleë. Geen onderdakparkering. Baie beperkte internet en selfs selfoonopvangs. Kamers baie bedompig en geen opsie vir 'n trek nie. Die plek het sy plek maar is nie geskik vir sakereisigers nie. Daar is ook geen aandete of ontbytopsies nie - selfs nie in die omgewing nie. Afrikaans is ook nie 'n opsie nie alhoewel dit so geadverteer is.

Hi Louis Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and the chance to reply to your concerns listed. We are located in a farming area just off the N7 and advertise our location as being 20km South of Malmesbury. It is up to the client to decide on suitability of location before booking the accommodation. Unfortunately, due to the load shedding situation, the internet and cell service performance in our area is out of our control. However you may not have realised when we had no loadshedding, it was due to the fact that we have invested heavily in a solar power system in order to ensure our guests still have electricity during their stays. All our rooms are equipped with fans which are stored in the main cupboard should you have chosen to use it. Unfortunately February is the hottest month of the year in the Swartland area. You were offered a continental breakfast basket prior to your arrival which you opted out of. Under languages on all the booking sites it is listed as English, even on the Afrikaans site that you booked with. We appreciate all feedback and take your points into account in order to better the services we can offer to guests.

Hallo Louis Dankie dat jy die tyd geneem het om 'n resensie te gee en die kans om te antwoord op jou bekommernisse wat gelys is. Ons is geleë in 'n boerdery area net langs die N7 en adverteer ons ligging as 20 km suid van Malmesbury. Dit is aan die kliënt om te besluit oor die geskiktheid van ligging voordat die verblyf bespreek word. Ongelukkig, weens die beurtkrag-situasie, is die internet- en selfoondiensprestasie in ons area buite ons beheer. Maar jy het dalk nie besef toe ons geen beurtkrag gehad het nie, dit was te wyte aan die feit dat ons baie in 'n sonkragstelsel belê het om te verseker dat ons gaste steeds elektrisiteit het tydens hul verblyf. Al ons kamers is toegerus met waaiers wat in die hoofkas gebêre word sou jy gekies het om dit te gebruik. Ongelukkig is Februarie die warmste maand van die jaar in die Swartland-omgewing. Jy is voor jou aankoms 'n kontinentale ontbytmandjie aangebied wat jy uitgesluit het. Onder tale op al die besprekingswebwerwe word dit as Engels gelys, selfs op die Afrikaanse werf waarmee jy bespreek het. Ons waardeer alle terugvoer en neem jou punte in ag om die dienste wat ons aan gaste kan bied, te verbeter.

Very basic. The WiFi didn't work and so I had to drive to town every day to do my work. There was no teaspoon or milk to use. I was the only person on site, yet they put me right next to the washroom. The cleaning ladies came knocking at 09:45 on the day of my departure.

Baie basies. Die WiFi het nie gewerk nie en so moes ek elke dag dorp toe ry om my werk te doen. Daar was geen teelepel of melk om te gebruik nie. Ek was die enigste persoon op die perseel, tog het hulle my reg langs die waskamer geplaas. Die skoonmaak dames het 09:45 al kom aanklop op die dag van my vertrek.

Hi, thank you for the review. Unfortunately, due to the excessive loadshedding, we are having more Wi-Fi issues and unit failures that are out of our control and could not foresee that coming. Due to our area, it is not an easy fix and this is why we don’t advertise having Wi-Fi. We had no idea about the teaspoons not being there and this is an oversight that we will keep an eye on in the future. We supply creamer with tea and coffee. We prefer to put guests closer to the laundry as this is where the geyser is located. This allows for the hot water to reach the closer rooms quicker and prevents water wastage. It wasn’t the cleaner who knocked on the door, it was the owner who had to attend an appointment and wanted to greet you before leaving. We appreciate the feedback and will work on these concerns to better the experiences of future guests.

Hallo, dankie vir die resensie. Ongelukkig, as gevolg van die oormatige beurtkrag, het ons meer Wi-Fi-kwessies en eenheidfoute wat buite ons beheer is en dit nie kon voorsien nie. Weens ons area is dit nie 'n maklike oplossing nie en dit is hoekom ons nie adverteer met Wi-Fi nie. Ons het geen idee gehad dat die teelepels nie daar is nie en dit is 'n oorsig wat ons in die toekoms sal dophou. Ons verskaf roomer met tee en koffie. Ons verkies om gaste nader aan die wassery te plaas aangesien dit is waar die geiser geleë is. Dit laat die warm water toe om die nader vertrekke vinniger te bereik en voorkom watervermorsing. Dit was nie die skoonmaker wat aan die deur geklop het nie, dit was die eienaar wat 'n afspraak moes bywoon en jou wou groet voor hy vertrek. Ons waardeer die terugvoer en sal aan hierdie bekommernisse werk om die ervarings van toekomstige gaste te verbeter.

Slept great, very peaceful surroundings. The room is very comfortable and we see that it is still being developed, so I believe that air conditioning may be installed in the future.

Heerlik geslaap, baie rustige omgewing. Die kamer is baie gerieflik en ons sien dat dit nog ontwikkel word, so ek glo daar sal in die toekoms dalk lugversorging ingesit word.

Very calm. The farm atmosphere with the open spaces around you - immediately brings a sense of calm to your mind.

Baie rustig. Die plaas atmosfeer met die ooptes om jou - bring dadelik 'n kamlte in jou gemoed.

Location a bit far from town and it needs a little more to attract me there again. No air conditioning. Rooms are not cleaned daily. Was surprised to get there after a long day and the bed was still made. Location on dirt road and far from town. Breakfast not included in price, although a continental breakfast is available for an additional payment and if arranged in advance.

Ligging bietjie vêr van dorp en daar kort so bietjie meer om my weer soontoe te lok. Geen lugreëling. Kamers word nie daagliks skoongemaak nie. Was verbaas om na 'n lang dag daar te kom en die bed was nog deurmekaar. Ligging op grondpad en vêr uit die dorp. Ontbyt nie ingesluit by prys nie, alhoewel 'n kontinentale ontbyt beskikbaar is vir 'n addisionele betaling en as dit vooraf gereël word.
