Wonderful host and wife. Your farewell prayer meant a lot. Thank you.
We had a wonderful stay. The chalet was very comfortable and homely furnished. Carmel Villa is centrally located and the town within walking distance. We were spoiled with cereal, milk, bottled water, cookies and fudge every day. This sets Carmel Villa apart from many other accommodations we have been to and makes you feel truly special. The electric blankets on the beds ensured that we could climb into a cozy warm, comfortable bed, and sleep like stones with the warm bedding. The breakfast was one of the tastiest I have ever eaten. The Victorian decor and general theme, appropriate crockery and cutlery in which the breakfast was served, make one feel royal. Summary: we stayed licks.

Heerlike verblyf in 'n ou, romantiese huis.

Lovely stay in an old, romantic house.
The house has a lot of historic significance but the self-catering units are in the backyard and don't have the same structure as the main house. The unit was quite limited but neat and clean. It was fully equipped and the braai at the swimming pool is quite memorable.

Pleasant stay.
Hetta (the owner) is friendly and told many interesting stories about the house's history. She made an effort to book us a place for dinner. I would recommend staying in the main house rather than the outside rooms. There are no ceiling fans and we were eaten by mosquitoes.
