Was a peaceful place to stay. It was nice to have the dogs with us. We really enjoyed the house. Everything was walking distance from the house. The swimming area was very nice to cool off. The house was spacious and peaceful. Our dogs really enjoyed the large garden.

Was 'n rustige plek om te bly. Was lekker om die honde saam met ons te hê. Ons het die huis baie geniet. Alles was loopafstand van die huis. Die swemplek was baie lekker om af te koel. Die huis was ruim en rustig. Ons honde het die groot tuin baie geniet.

Somewhat disappointed with the service, but good location and comfortable accommodation. It was average. No WiFi. Bed not made up in the hallway with bed linen. Short of wine glasses. Limited parking!

There was no WiFi or a swimming pool as indicated by the website. There is no WiFi! 3G signal is also weak which makes it difficult. The pool listed on the page is nowhere to be found. The parking area is under lots of low-hanging trees, a big car won't fit in there. The room is very nice, but not worth the money.

Daar was nie WiFi of 'n swembad soos deur die website aangedui nie. Daar is nie WiFi nie! 3G sein is ook maar swak wat dit moeilik maak. Die swembad wat gelys is op die blad is, is nêrens te vinde nie. Die parkeer area is onder klomp laag hangende bome, 'n groot kar gaan nie daar in kom nie. Die kamer is heel mooi, maar nie die geld werd nie.

Bridget was very kind and contacted me a day before our stay to make arrangements to meet us for check-in. It was a spotless and a pleasant experience.

Bridget was baie vriendelik en het my al 'n dag voor ons verblyf gekontak om reëlings te maak om ons te ontmoet vir inklok. Dit was 'n silwerskoon en 'n aangename ondervinding.

Lovely, comfortable house but not in the heat. The house is big and comfortable. Lovely braai and outdoor area with a splash pool. We chose a weekend with extreme heat which is not the owners fault. However, the bedroom windows face directly onto the street and wooden shutters provide privacy. There are no curtains so you cant sleep with the windows open and the ceiling fan was very noisy, too noisy to sleep. One bedroom only had a bath en-suite.

The old house is practical and has everything you need for a wonderful stay. The house was very nice clean and tidy and is a typical old house that you would expect to find in a village like Riebeek-Kasteel. We were grateful for the braai facilities and were within walking distance of the cutest restaurant. Truly a LekkeSlaap place.

Die ou huis is prakties en het alles wat nodig is vir 'n heerlike verblyf. Die huis was baie mooi skoon en netjies en is 'n tipiese ou huis wat jy sou verwag om aan te tref in a dorpie soos Riebeek-Kasteel. Ons was dankbaar vir die braaigeriewe en was binne loopafstand van die oulikste restaurant af. Voorwaar 'n LekkeSlaap-plekkie.

Lovely accommodation, except the fan was not suitable for 40+ December temperature. Fan was a problem, and on a busy road.

Cottage great. Badly stocked though. Cottage was great. Bathroom lovely. Kitchen badly stocked. Was advertised as self catering. A microwave is not self catering. No pan. No pot. No hotplate to cook on. Made eggs in electric wok with no egg lifter. Toaster doesn't work. The barstools at kitchen counter is the same hight as the counter so you can't eat there. Only small 2 seater couch for one person. Needs additional lounge chair, braai facilities, well a car wheel rim on 4 legs does not make braai facilities. No braai fork or tongs. The cottage bedroom window is right on a loud crazy busy road. Motorbikes on Sunday afternoon roaring by. People walking in street talking. Suggestion: Board window up. Don't need it. Lounge door enough. Gate can't lock so car is vulnerable from street during the night. So is cottage. I know it's a small town and they believe it won't happen but it can. Not safe. Some owners don't actually know what is required standard wise and you should assist them. As a 3 x guesthouse owner from Cape Town I can assure you that we get inspected before we can advertise in publications and to make sure that the ads are correct and factual. If you read the previous complains they are basically the same. Nothing was done. The owner was great, friendly and even allowed us into the cottage 3 hours before checkin.
