Heerlik verby. Lekker tye.

Dit was een van die lekkerste plekke, naby die dorp maar ver van geraas, pragtige en rustige plekkie.

Beautifully over. Good times.

It was one of the nicest places, close to town but far from noise, beautiful and peaceful place.

Heerlik.

Pragtige plek, heerlike bed, vriendelike eienaars. Daar was 'n paar klein veranderinge in die kamer van die foto's af, maar ten goede. Die plek is baie mooi toegerus. Ons het niks gekort nie. Sal dit aanbeveel.

Delicious.

Beautiful place, lovely bed, friendly owners. There were some small changes in the room from the photos, but for the better. The place is very nicely equipped. We lacked nothing. Would recommend it.

Baie netjiese en sakpas verblyf.

Die verblyf is baie skoon en netjies. Daar is ongelukkig nie skottelgoedwasgeriewe nie, maar die gasvrou het vir ons 'n skottel gegee waarin ons kon skottelgoed doen en dit het ons waardeer. As mens sakpas verblyf soek, is dit aanvaarbaar en netjies. Let net daarop dat die kamers baie op mekaar is en as mens privaatheid wil hê, is dit mens nie beskore nie. Ons wou graag braai, maar weens die mense wat direk langs ons was, het ons daarteen besluit. Ongelukkig het die WiFi ook nie reg gewerk nie. Ons het konstante onderbrekings ervaar. Nogtans dankie aan die gasvrou wat soveel moeite gedoen het om die kuier vir ons so aangenaam moontlik te maak en vir ons hond se bederfies. Dit het opgemaak vir die enkele tekortkominge. Voorspoed vorentoe!

Very neat and pocket-friendly accommodation.

The accommodation is very clean and tidy. Unfortunately, there are no dishwashing facilities, but the hostess gave us a dish in which we could wash dishes and we appreciated that. If you are looking for pocket-sized accommodation, it is acceptable and tidy. Just note that the rooms are very close to each other and if you want privacy, you won't get it. We wanted to barbecue, but because of the people who were right next to us, we decided against it. Unfortunately the WiFi didn't work properly either. We experienced constant outages. Nevertheless, thanks to the hostess who made so much effort to make the visit as pleasant as possible for us and for our dog's treats. It made up for the few shortcomings. Good luck ahead!

Baie lekker gebly. Kamer gerieflik. Gastehuis ook lekker geleë.

Baie lekker! Gerieflike, veilige, aangename ontvangs. Dink net hulle moet die straatadres verander en die plek beter merk.

Soos bo.

Dit was aanvaarbaar. Die eienaar het net vergeet om die geiser aan te skakel en het dit eers om 9 uur die aand gedoen nadat ons gevra het. Ons moes 'n uur en 'n half wag vir water wat warm genoeg was om te kon bad.

As above.

It was acceptable. The owner just forgot to turn on the geyser and only did it at 9 in the evening after we asked. We had to wait an hour and a half for water that was warm enough to bathe.

Had a nice stay despite the shortcomings.

Stayed very comfortable, but garden and general maintenance [especially outside] badly neglected [even considering it's winter]. No glasses. 2 Plates, but too big to fit in microwave.

Clarens en Oos-Vrystaat bly mooi en sal net volgende keer elders oornag.

Dink die plek het 'n opknap nodig. Dak lek, gasvrou het dit uitgewys en gesê ons moet ons nie steur as daar water uitlek nie. Handdoeke en kussings het nie vars geruik nie. Vloer was vir seker nie gewas of gestofsuig nie. Miernes en stof was op die vloer. Moes ketel op vloer laat staan om water te kook, daar was nie 'n ander muurprop nie. Eenheid glad nie gediens deur die dag nie - gebruikte borde en koppies nie geruil nie, geen geriewe om dit self te was nie. Tuin in 'n toestand, vir seker nie wat op die foto adverteer word nie. (Verstaan daar's droogte).

Clarens and Eastern Free State remain beautiful and will only spend the night elsewhere next time.

Think the place needs a facelift. Roof leaks, hostess pointed it out and told us not to worry if water leaks out. Towels and pillows did not smell fresh. Floor was definitely not washed or vacuumed. Ant nests and dust were on the floor. Had to leave kettle on floor to boil water, there was no other wall plug. Unit not serviced at all throughout the day - used plates and cups not exchanged, no facilities to wash them yourself. Garden in condition, for sure not what is advertised in the photo. (Understood there's drought).

Dutchess on Lake 's response

Kamers word nie gediens nie en die kamer het drie muurproppe. Die tuin is in oorgang van somer na winter.
Ek doen al my werk persoonlik. Die kussings is wel skoon en uitgewas, die handdoekke is silwerskoon, en vloere word op my knieë gewas, ek sal van hul af eet.
Hoekom het u dit nie met my opgeneem as daar probleme was nie. Geen gas het nog ooit n probleem gehad nie. U het ook self die warmkombers verwyder en onder my bed ingedruk en my ook nie vooraf in kennis gestel dat u allergies is vir vere nie.

Teleurgesteld, misleidend, nie selfsorg nie.

Twee van die drie kamers was soos geadverteer. Die derde kamer is 'n kamer wat verhuur word aan 'n permanente persoon. Die persoon was weg vir die naweek en ons moes in die kamer bly. Die kamer was vol persoonlike items en het die hele langnaweek soos sigaretrook geruik, omdat die permanente inwoner in die kamer rook. Die gemeenskaplike area het 'n sitkamer, kombuis en eetkamer, maar geen geriewe om skottelgoed te was nie, aangesien daar geen wasbak is nie. Yskaste was baie vuil. Die tuin en swembad word ook glad nie onderhou nie.

Disappointed, misleading, not self-serving.

Two of the three rooms were as advertised. The third room is a room that is rented to a permanent person. The person was away for the weekend and we had to stay in the room. The room was full of personal items and smelled like cigarette smoke all long weekend, because the permanent resident smokes in the room. The common area has a lounge, kitchen and dining room, but no facilities for washing dishes as there is no sink. Refrigerators were very dirty. The garden and pool are also not maintained at all.

Dutchess on Lake 's response

Dit word nie geadverteer as selfsorg nie. Met die gas gepraat en oor die kamer gereël, die gas het geen probleem gehad nie. My eie braaikamer, vir die gas gegee vir die naweek. Yskaste is nie skoon nie, want dit word net daar gestoor. Weereens, dit is my persoonlike plek, het toestemming gegee. Tuin is nie soos op foto's nie, dit is winter, die bome se blare waai maar af. Swembad is toegemaak vir die winter. Elke kamer het sy eie yskas.
