Nostalgic. Wonderful house with many memories of the old days. Beautiful new bathroom with everything one needs and more. A fireplace would be a plus.

Nostalgies. Wonderlike huis met baie herinneringe van die ou dae. Pragtige nuwe badkamer met alles wat mens nodig het en meer. 'n Kaggel sal 'n plus wees.

Have had better. Was nice, but they forgot to turn on the geyser.

Het al beter gehad. Was lekker, maar hulle het vergeet om die geyser aan te skakel.

Great overnight stop close to the planetarium and restaurants. Thoroughly enjoyed this charming Victorian era cottage. Amanda is a friendly host and made check-in a breeze. The beds had quality linen and the electric blankets were a welcome touch. The cottage is close to the town centre, planetarium and restaurants.

The facilities were just great. House definitely needs to be renovated. We made the most of our stay there.

Die geriewe was maar power. Huis moet definitief opgeknap word. Ons het die beste gemaak van ons verblyf daar.

Dear Joan, Thank you very much for your feedback - could you please be more specific with your reference to the (facilities) that need to be renovated?

Beste Joan, baie dankie vir jou terugvoer - kan jy asb meer spesifiek wees met jou verwysing na die (geriewe) wat opgeknap moet word?

Very nice, except for bg. Amanda was very helpful. The cupboards and rooms were not very clean, and neither was the outside braai - the ashes etc of the previous visitors were left as they were. The shower door is broken and the shower was very dirty.

Baie lekker, behalwe vir bg. Amanda was baie behulpsaam. Die kaste en kamers was nie baie skoon nie, en so ook nie die buite braai nie - die as ens van die vorige besoekers is net so gelaat. Die stortdeur is stukkend en die stort was baie vuil.

Dear Hannes, Thank you very much for your feedback but what is strange to me is the fact that during your stay you were in contact with us quite often - no reference to your list of complaints was passed on to us at any stage. Now I just wonder - if guests are so unhappy with their stay, why isn't the hostess informed immediately (and personally), but should we read it on a review?

Beste Hannes, baie dankie vir jou terugvoer maar wat vir my vreemd is, is die feit dat julle tydens julle verblyf redelik gereeld met ons in kontak was - geen verwysing na julle lys klagtes was op enige stadium aan ons oorgedra nie. Nou wonder ek net - as gaste so ongelukkig met hulle verblyf is, waarom word die gasvrou nie dadelik (en persoonlik) ingelig nie, maar moet ons dit op 'n review lees?

Neat self-catering unit with everything to make your stay comfortable. The unit/house was large, clean and tidy and had everything to make your stay comfortable. You simply park next to the house, then packing and unpacking is easy. The single beds in the rooms had quality white linen. There were also electric blankets. The bathroom has a bath and shower, and large bath towels are provided. There was also hand soap at the sink. The kitchen has a nice big table and chairs where you could eat and hang out, a fridge and microwave oven. A small stove is in the kitchen in which you could make a fire to make the kitchen a little warmer. Wood was provided to start your fire. Communication was very bad. The problem was that the village in Sutherland had a lot of snow and was without power for several days. When I made my reservation on Monday evening 9 July 2024 at 19h42 and got confirmation at 20h04 that my accommodation was confirmed, no one told me or let me know that there was no power and no mobile phone reception. We could have planned better because we couldn't use the microwave, WiFi, electric blankets. There was emergency lighting, but the batteries were dead, so sitting in the dark and cold was very unpleasant. It was bitterly cold that evening and the wind was gale-force. Communication was really a big problem because I didn't get the code for the box where the key is stored. When we got to the unit at 16h00, there was no key either. We had to drive back to the Witch's house where we were kindly received and taken to the unit. At 17h51 I let them know via WhatsApp that we are in the unit. The person replied thanks back at 17h57. We had cell phone reception the whole time. I also sent a bunch of photos to my friends via WhatsApp. If we had known about the power outage, we could have planned better. We could have brought our power station, brought other food to make, brought our WiFi dongle, extra blankets etc. to make our stay more pleasant. We really enjoyed the snow and it was a nice experience with all the snow around us. This is probably our 4th or 5th time at the Witch's house. We always have a good time and are always received kindly. We can recommend Tula Karoo and would stay there again.

Netjiese selfsorgeenheid met alles om jou verblyf gerieflik te maak. Die eenheid/huis was groot, skoon en netjies en het alles ingehad om jou verblyf gemaklik te maak. Jy parkeer sommer langs die huis, dan is die in- en uitpak maklik. Die enkelbeddens in die kamers het kwaliteit wit linne gehad. Daar was ook elektriese komberse. Die badkamer het 'n bad en stort, en groot badhanddoeke was voorsien. Daar was ook handeseep by die wasbak. Die kombuis het 'n lekker groot tafel en stoele waarby jy kon eet en kuier, 'n yskas en mikrogolfoond. 'n Klein doverstofie is in die kombuis waarin jy kon vuur maak om die kombuis 'n bietjie warmer te maak. Hout was voorsien om jou vuur mee te begin. Kommunikasie was baie sleg. Die probleem was dat die dorpie in Sutherland baie sneeu gehad het en sonder krag vir 'n paar dae was. Toe ek Maandag aand 9 Julie 2024 om 19h42 my bespreking gedoen het en om 20h04 bevestiging gekry het dat my akkommodasie bevestig is, het niemand vir my gesê of laat weet dat daar nie krag is nie en ook nie selfoonontvangs nie. Ons kon beter beplan het, want ons kon nie die mikrogolfoond, WiFi, elektriese komberse gebruik nie. Daar was noodbeligting, maar die batterye was pap, so om in die donker en koue te sit was baie onaangenaam. Dit was bitter koud die aand en die wind was stormsterk. Kommunikasie was regtig 'n groot probleem, want ek het nie die kode vir die boksie gekry waar die sleutel in gebêre word nie. Toe ons by die eenheid kom om 16h00, was daar ook nie 'n sleutel nie. Ons moes terugry na die Heks se huis waar ons vriendelik ontvang is en na die eenheid geneem is. Ek het 17h51 laat weet per WhatsApp dat ons in die eenheid is. Die persoon het terug dankie geantwoord om 17h57. Ons het selfoonontvangs die hele tyd gehad. Ek het ook 'n klomp fotos na my vriende gestuur via WhatsApp. As ons geweet het van die kragonderbreking, kon ons beter beplan het. Ons kon ons kragstasie saamgebring het, ander kos gebring het om te maak, ons WiFi-dongel gebring het, ekstra komberse ens. om ons verblyf meer aangenaam te maak. Ons het die sneeu baie geniet en dit was 'n lekker ondervinding met al die sneeu om ons. Dit is seker ons 4de of 5de keer by die Heks se huis. Ons bly altyd lekker en word altyd vriendelik ontvang. Ons kan Tula Karoo aanbeveel en sal weer daar bly.

Hello Ronel, thank you very much for your booking as well as your review. Unfortunately, this was a situation that was beyond our control. The blizzard hit Sutherland on Sunday night and from 2pm on Monday the power was suddenly out. Unfortunately, it wasn't just in Sutherland - 25, people were without power throughout South Africa. The above caused the cell towers to lose signal. Today was day 5 that our folks in Sutherland were without power. The municipality eventually had to send generators so that the boreholes could only pump water for the houses. Therefore, there would have been poor to no communication, as I could not get hold of my staff at all for 4 days. I trust you will understand that this was a situation totally beyond our control.

Hallo Ronel, baie dankie vir jul bespreking sowel as jou resensie. Ongelukkig was hierdie 'n situasie wat buite ons beheer was. Die sneeustorm het Sutherland Sondag-nag getref en vanaf 14h00 Maandag was die krag skielik uit. Ongelukkig was dit nie net in Sutherland nie - 25, mense het sonder krag gesit deur die hele Suid-Afrika. Voorstaande het veroorsaak dat die selfoontorings sein verloor het. Vandag was dag 5 dat ons mense in Sutherland sonder krag was. Die munisipaliteit moes eventueel generators laat kom sodat die boorgate net kon water pomp vir die huise. Derhalwe sou daar swak tot geen kommunikasie gewees het, aangesien ek vir 4 dae gladnie my personeel in die hande kon kry nie. Ek vertrou dat jy sal verstaan dat hierdie 'n situasie totaal buite ons beheer was.
