Baie lekker dankie.

Ons het net een aand daar gebly. Baie skoon en netjies. Mag net nie binne in 'n kamer eet nie, maar daar is 'n pragtige buiteplekkie met tafels en stoele en 'n groot gemeenskaplike kombuis wat alles bevat wat jy nodig het om kos te maak. Almal is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Thank you very much.

We only stayed there one night. Very clean and tidy. Only not allowed to eat inside a room, but there is a beautiful outside area with tables and chairs and a large communal kitchen that has everything you need to cook. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Overnight to rest and refresh.

We just used the room to shower and sleep. The room was perfect for that purpose. FYI - You are not allowed to eat in the room, but can either use the outside seating area or the guest kitchen. The room also does not offer DSTV, only OpenView.

Ongelukkig was die kamer nie "disabled friendly" nie. Daar is 'n trappie by die badkamer wat dit bykans onmoontlik maak om in stort te kan kom. Tweedens was daar net 'n plastiek stoel in stort wat moeilik maak vir 'n dubbel amputee soos myself.

Geen DStv, net gewone kanale.

Slaapeenheid met eie badkamer netjies en gerieflik. Plek egter ideaal vir groot familie wat wil saamkuier want kombuisarea en een braai word gedeel met ander gaste. Geen DStv net gewone kanale beskikbaar.

No DStv, just regular channels.

Unpleasant end to a nice weekend.

The accommodation was very nice, friendly uncle/owner who checked us in. We did find two dog buns in our bathroom. Not ideal but we threw it away and said nothing until I mentioned it two days into our stay when the landlady called me about unnecessary things. She was very incompetent and gave me no opportunity to try to figure out what was wrong so much so that I had to call her back after the phone was put to my ear. It soured the whole experience for us. The least I expect is for me, the customer, to be treated with respect.

Ons het die verblyf geniet. Dit is goed ingerig, met 'n aparte volle kombuis met binnebraaigeriewe. Dit is nie baie privaat nie aangesien die kombuis en binnehof gedeel word, maar ons het dit nogtans geniet en nuwe vriende gemaak.

Swak bestuur.

Die bestuur van die plek was baie swak gewees. Ons het twee kamers gehad wat beide sonder warm water was. Dit was baie moeilik met twee klein kinders om sonder warm water te wees. Aan die einde van die verblyf het ons egter agtergekom dat die gas geysers sonder gas was en dus kon die eienaars die probleem verhoed. Die eienares was baie ongeskik en kon nie verstaan hoekom ons so bohaai opgeskop het nie, maar as jy geld vra vir verblyf dan sorg mens dat jy in staat is om die plek in stand te kan hou.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Poor management.

The management of the place was very bad. We had 2 rooms and both didn't have hot water. It was difficult with two small children without hot water. At the end of our stay we realised that the gas geysers were without gas though and thus the owners could have prevented the problem. The owner was rude and couldn't understand why we made such a fuss, but if you ask money for accommodation then you have to make sure that you can keep the place maintained.
