Disappointed.
Wickenshuis did not indicate on the website that we had to share a toilet and bathroom. It does mention that the kitchen and lounge are for communal use. There was no water, ice or small treat (cheap chocolate bar?), no soap in the bathroom, or shampoo. The door latch was broken, luckily the lock worked. Only one bedside lamp and that didn't have a power plug. No information sheet about the facilities, so we don't even know if there was wifi available. Now about Pofadder himself: I know the owners of the house can do little about the following, but in any case I just want to issue a warning to prospective visitors. Outside the house (the last house in the street), at the end of the street, the rubbish is scattered thickly. In fact, it looks the same throughout the town. The roads are so full of potholes that you have to drive along the side of the road. I have not seen such a level of neglect by a municipality for a long time. My wife and I booked two nights in Wickenshuis and paid in full in advance, as we had photography plans for the day. However, after one night we moved on and stayed at a different location, writing off the 2nd night's fees to experience.
Teleurgesteld.
Wickenshuis het nie op die webtuiste aangedui dat ons 'n toilet en badkamer moes deel nie. Dit noem wel dat die kombuis en sitkamer vir gemeenskaplike gebruik is. Daar was geen water, ys of klein bederfie (goedkoop sjokoladetjie?), geen seep in die badkamer, of sjampoe nie. Die kamerdeur se knip was stukkend, gelukkig het die slot gewerk. Net een bedlampie en dié het nie 'n kragprop gehad nie. Geen inligtingstuk oor die geriewe nie, so ons weet nie eens of daar wifi beskikbaar was nie. Nou oor Pofadder self: ek weet die eienaars van die huis kan aan die volgende min doen, maar ek wil in elk geval net 'n waarskuwing rig aan voornemende besoekers. Buitekant die huis (die laaste huis in die straat), aan die einde van die straat, lê die rommel dik gestrooi. Trouens, dit lyk dieselfde dwarsdeur die hele dorp. Die paaie is so vol gate dat mens langs die pad moet ry. Ek het lanklaas so 'n vlak van afskeep deur 'n munisipaliteit gesien. Ek en my vrou het twee nagte in Wickenshuis bespreek en vol vooruit betaal, want ons het fotografie-planne vir die dag gehad. Ons het egter na een nag verder gereis en op 'n ander plek gaan bly, en die 2de nag se fooie aan ervaring afgeskryf.

Well received and had a good time.
The mosquitoes were a problem (everywhere in the Northern Cape after the good rains).
Goed ontvang en lekker gekuier.
Die muskiete was 'n probleem (oral in die Noord-Kaap na die goeie reën).

Very neat and clean with everything needed for an overnight stay.
Felt very safe and slept great, far away from the main road.
Baie netjies en skoon met alles wat benodig word vir 'n oornagslaap.
Het heel veilig gevoel en heerlik geslaap, ver weg van die groot pad.

Great place with access to the bigger house and kitchen which was good at a good price. Overall good stay.
Great place, with access to the bigger house and kitchen which was good. The shower needs fixing, The town has nothing to do really. It was a stopover for us. There is a cool burger place in town which you should not miss.
