It was a very good experience.
This was my second time at Yellow Aloe in the Long House. The rooms are very well and tastefully furnished. The manager went out of his way to make our stay very pleasant despite the cold, wet weather and load shedding. On the night of load shedding, he made us a fire in the fireplace with enough dry wood to last us through the evening. The garden is a loop court with many hidden surprises and the birdsong is soul-invigorating. The breakfasts were very tasty and carefully served. Last, but certainly not least: They have great coffee. I can definitely recommend the accommodation.

Good morning Pieter
We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us - in fairness the time line you provided us verbally at the time of your checking out and the time line you have quoted for your waiting time for your breakfast are three different times.
Our staff and ourselves are more than willing and often called upon to serve extra early breakfasts when our guests know that they have a long travel day ahead the next day. It is a part of our client service protocol.
For your future hosts going forward, I am sure that they will find your notice information most helpful to ensure your early start is smooth and happy.
Kind regards
Cheryl

The guesthouse is centrally located in Clanwilliam. Can walk to shops and restaurants. Clanwilliam is a good starting point for exploring the Cedar Mountains. The accommodation is comfortable, neat and clean. The gardens are an experience with the most beautiful trees and corners where we could sit and chat and drink a glass of wine. The owners are friendly and hospitable and the service at breakfast is brisk. Would really recommend.

Very generous reception, clean accommodation, but not the most professional service.
Very generous reception, but very little help e.g. no brochure in room to indicate how TV works or to provide WiFi code (if available) or for assistance. We came back to the room late in the evening after our meal and then trying to find someone to request such trifles is a waste of time. So we went without it.

We booked for 4 nights so we could explore the area.
This guest house is not worthy of a 4 star rating. Our booked room was changed because there was construction on the main house and we were not informed about it. There was no hot water for the alternative room in the evening nor in the morning. The owner tried to accommodate us and offered us another room. She hadn't checked the room and it was full of dust and dead spiders. We were very disappointed as we don't mind paying for good accommodation but R1100 per night was just too much and not value for money.

On confirmation, I was told by Yellow Aloe that LekkeSlaap made a mistake, but in fact it was Yellow Aloe who made a double booking! Therefore we were transferred to another guest house with a lower rating. Yellow Aloe then wanted to insist on handling fees for the other guest house. The other guesthouse also complains that Yellow Aloe often does this, sending guests to them and then not paying for it... Not a pleasant experience with Yellow Aloe at all.
