Nice and cold.
We had a nice stay, and the coal stove helped a lot with the cold. The unit itself is very cold because it doesn't get any sun at all. Lanie was very helpful and helped us with our queries. The only downside was that we couldn't really sit outside, because every time we were outside people came asking for money etc.

Although mobile phone signal is problematic, the check-in arrangements went smoothly. The unit is equipped to make everything very comfortable despite the loadshedding and the cold of course. A fireplace with wood, and an electric blanket made the stay pleasant.

Rina dankie vir julle ondersteuning. Soos op alle platforms genoem is ons doel om vir gaste die besonderse "ou karoo" gevoel te laat ervaar. Artist &Little Artist cottage is een van die oudste geboue op die dorp (+- 90 jaar oud), daarom was die restorasie en bewaring van die unieke omgewing se geskiedenis vir ons belangrik.....dis nie perfek nie, maar wel iets anders. Die fotos is onlangs geneem en is oorspronklik sonder enige "editing". Ons fokus spesifiek op beskrywing van die plekke met nuwe fotos sodat gaste presies weet wat hulle kan verwag. Daar is 'n koolstoof oondjie en hout binne die plekkie, warm water sakke en elektriese komberse vir die koue - dis immers een van die koudste dorpe in die land.
Groete - Trotse eienaars van die Artist & Litlle Artist Cottage.

Have website checked what the unit looks like?
It is unacceptable to have a shower with walls of rusted corrugated iron without a door; an enamel sink that is "chipped"; lots of old copper pipes and taps; walls have probably never been painted; almost no work surface in kitchen; dining table barely big enough for one person; the "fireplace" - don't know how one can use it as heating? An old cement floor that makes the unit freezing cold. The one electric blanket did not work and had to be replaced; the other only partially warmed. The drying cloth was filthy dirty. Only photo of what the unit looks like from the outside, not from the inside.

Dis jammer oor julle ervaring. Die volgende rakende julle resensie, soos op alle platvorms genoem, word die Little Artist Cottage beskryf en is 1 van die oudste geboue op die dorp. Die Little Artist Cottage is gerestoureer met die doel om die unieke karoo-gevoel vir gaste te bied. Die Little Artist Cottage se uitleg word getoon op alle platvorms deur middel van beskrywings en fotos. Die sink-plate, koper pype, wasbak is uniekhede van die Karoo en karakter eienskappe van Little Artist Cottage.
Die eenheid is bedoel vir 2 mense dus is dit snoesig en klein. Die eetkamer tafel is groot genoeg vir 2 mense en die vuurherd bestaan uit 'n klein-dover oondjie, ook uniek aan die Karoo en word gebruik vir verhitting ook, niks kompleks daaraan nie.
Ons is tevrede met die sement vloer. Die warm kombers is onmiddelik vervang asook die afdroog doek toe julle ons bestuurderes bewus gemaak het daarvan, dankie hiervoor want goed raak onklaar en ons probeer ons bes om aandag te gee aan probleme wat sou ontstaan.
Alle platvorms het genoeg fotos van die eenheid en die foto van hoe die eenheid buite lyk is die hoof foto, so ons verstaan ongelukkig nie die opskrif van die resensie of opmerking van net 1 foto nie.
Ons is bewus dat oudhede of uniekhede en geskiedenis van die Karoo nie vir al die gaste bedoel is nie, asook gaste se smaak verskil. Daarom is daar genoeg inligting vir gaste om 'n ingeligte besluit te neem.
Verder is ons verlig dat julle motor se papwiel afgehaal en reggemaak is toe julle hulp nodig gehad.
Groete, trotse eienaars van Little Artist Cottage en Artist Cottage.

What a cute little place. Quiet, beautiful, neat, a nice place. Everything you need is provided in the place. Would recommend the place to anyone who just needs that "soul food" silence and just wants to enjoy the surroundings. Nice restaurant, Boorgat, just down the street where you can enjoy delicious peasant food. Stargazing is an experience. The place is close to everything. Will definitely see Little Artist Cottage again.

Nice spacious unit.
Sutherland has water restrictions at the moment, but we were well informed by the managers about the times when there would be water. So it didn't inconvenience our time there. Drinking water was also purchased for our use. I would perhaps suggest that the unit instead get 2 single beds that can be moved against each other and can serve as a king size bed for couples, and if it is not a couple, can be moved apart again. Having said that, the beds were really comfortable to sleep in and there was everything in the unit that we could need. Just a pity we missed the snow by a day. Since we were on level 4 of containment, the restaurants were only open for takeaway and only at certain times and even there the managers pointed out the eateries that served good meals. We look forward to staying there again.

Sutherland has water scarcity. Had to have water again at 5 o'clock in the morning. Only arrived at half past 9. This caused us to get away very late to our next destination. Contact person was not available for assistance. The one electric blanket did not work. Also very nicely equipped. Nice walk and visit at the Boorgat.

Disappointing- Not as expected.
Little Artist Cottage 's response
Dear Pieter,
Your comments duly noted and highly disappointing due to the following reasons:
The chimney is not defective. Guests need to make the fire at the back. It is also noted in the booklet available to guests.
The manager accommodated you an hour earlier than the norm. Unfortunately, the ashes were too warm from the previous guests to clear at that time. This was also explained when you phoned Suzanne afterwards.
The manager was newly appointed and therefore had to check on payments. We will, however, start to request it a week prior to the booking date.
The bathroom is definitely not unsafe. We used the corrugated iron to create a true Karoo look and feel for guests. We never had any complaints about it. The safety of our guests is a top priority.
In our opinion, your feedback and rating are unrealistic. The place is always clean and equipped with the top-quality interior and linen to create a relaxed environment for guests. Your review is also in complete contrast from the feedback from other guests, as well as the popularity of both cottages (Artist Cottage and Little Artist Cottage). We acknowledged that we cannot keep all customers satisfied, however, we are truly proud of what our cottages offer to guests.
The website and all hosting sites have the latest updated photos and descriptions available of what is to be expected by guests. Also, please note that we as the owners frequently visit our own cottages to experience and confirm that all is safe and guest-friendly.
Regards,
Fritz
