Cozy but neglected.
The house is very primitive yet cosy, but not much attention is paid to cleaning. There were cobwebs everywhere with long-legged spider families. The biggest problem comes with the French drains which clogged and overflowed in the last week of our stay. The owner did not handle it well and insinuated that we must have thrown something like diapers or wipes or something that blocked it. We were advised to contact the municipality ourselves so that they could come and suck out the drain. It is unacceptable to make it the tenant's problem and make false allegations. Other factors to consider before you would decide to stay here is that there are 2 plates on the stove that do not work. There is no oven, no TV (not necessarily a priority). You must bring your own bedding/towels, the shower inside is an "all-in-one" shower over a toilet and sink and some of the wooden sliding windows cannot be opened. Pluses are the location, coziness with the indoor grill in the kitchen, the fact that it is pet friendly and the trees for the kids in the back yard.
Gesellig maar verwaarloos.
Die huisie is baie primitief dog gesellig, maar daar word nie veel aandag aan skoonmaak gegee nie. Daar was oral spinnerakke met langbeenspinnekopfamilies. Die grootste probleem kom by die French drains wat verstop en oorgeloop het in die laaste week van ons verblyf. Die eienaar het dit nie goed hanteer nie en geïnsinieer dat ons iets soos doeke of wipes of iets moes afgegooi het wat dit verstop het. Ons is aangeraai om self die munisipaliteit te kontak sodat hul die drein kan kom uitsuig. Dis onaanvaarbaar om dit die huurder se probleem te maak en valse aantygings te maak. Ander faktore om in ag te neem voor jy sou besluit om hier te bly is dat daar 2 plate op die stoof is wat nie werk nie. Daar is geen oond nie, geen TV nie (nie noodwendig 'n prioriteit nie). Jy moet jou eie beddegoed/handdoeke moet saamvat, die stort binne is 'n "all-in-one"-stort oor 'n toilet en wasbak en van die hout skuifvensters kan oopmaak nie. Pluspunte is die ligging, geselligheid met die binnebraai in die kombuis, die feit dat dit troeteldiervriendelik is en die bome vir die kinders in die agtererf.
Dear guest, thank you for your review.
I would like to mention that the roof was rethatched in October 2020 and a team of painters and woodworkers spent 2 weeks here in late November, painting the entire house inside and outside. I can send you the receipts of payment, should you require them. Garden services worked on the 16th Dec and my husband and I spent 3 days washing all toweling mattress/pillow protectors and had all duvets dry cleaned, prior to your arrival, on the 17th Dec. We cleaned the house ourselves, as the house help is this area is very unreliable. It is true that in a thatched roof, spider webs seem to appear almost overnight.
I did inform you about bringing your own bed linen and towels and that there is no TV and no oven.
There are a large microwave and a weber. There were 54 WhatsApp between us and we spoke on the phone quite a few times, discussing all your needs and your questions,
When you informed us a few days prior to your departure, that the French drain was a problem, I asked you to please report to the municipality, to come to clean the drains, at our expense, as we live 3 hours drive away. I had tried to telephone them, but no one answered. Your 2 dogs were welcome, but not what they left behind on the lawn. This took us some time to clean up, plus the hundreds of cigarette butts, on the front lawn, took me more than an hour to pick up one by one, spread over quite a large area. What I am really sad about, was that the beaches were closed, due to Covid, soon after you arrived, which must have been a terrible blow to you, who came so far, to have a beach holiday, with 2 under 10-year-old boys.
Kind regards, Mooinooientjie.
Geagte gas, dankie vir jou resensie.
Ek wil graag noem dat die dak in Oktober 2020 weer vasgemaak is en 'n span skilders en houtwerkers het einde November 2 weke hier deurgebring en die hele huis binne en buite geverf. Ek kan vir jou die kwitansies van betaling stuur, sou jy dit verlang. Tuindienste het op die 16de Des gewerk en ek en my man het 3 dae spandeer om alle handdoeke matras/kussingsbeskermers te was en alle duvets laat droogmaak, voor jou aankoms, op die 17de Des. Ons het die huis self skoongemaak, aangesien die huishulp is hierdie area is baie onbetroubaar. Dit is waar dat dit lyk of spinnerakke amper oornag in 'n grasdak verskyn.
Ek het jou wel ingelig om jou eie beddegoed en handdoeke saam te bring en dat daar geen TV en geen oond is nie.
Daar is 'n groot mikrogolfoond en 'n weber. Daar was 54 WhatsApp tussen ons en ons het 'n hele paar keer oor die telefoon gepraat en al jou behoeftes en jou vrae bespreek,
Toe u ons 'n paar dae voor u vertrek meedeel dat die Franse drein 'n probleem is, het ek u gevra om asseblief by die munisipaliteit aan te meld, om die dreine op ons koste te kom skoonmaak aangesien ons 3 ure se ry weg woon. Ek het probeer om hulle te bel, maar niemand het geantwoord nie. Jou 2 honde was welkom, maar nie wat hulle op die grasperk agtergelaat het nie. Dit het ons tyd geneem om skoon te maak, plus die honderde sigaretstompies, op die voorste grasperk, het my meer as 'n uur geneem om een vir een op te tel, versprei oor 'n taamlike groot area. Waaroor ek regtig hartseer is, was dat die strande gesluit was, as gevolg van Covid, kort nadat jy aangekom het, wat 'n verskriklike slag moes gewees het vir jou, wat so ver gekom het, om 'n strandvakansie te hou, met 2 onder 10 jaar. - ou seuns.
Vriendelike groete, Mooinooientjie.
