Two weeks before the guest arrived at my place, I indicated to him via “whatsapp” where the key holder for the keys of the house is well as the code for the lock box, the arrival time of 14:00 and pictures of all the activities available in the estate for entertainment.
On the issue of the noise, as I was indicating in my opening remarks that I am not staying at the premises so this reporting was done by the security, that is part of their responsibilities to ensure that the house owners are obeying the rules of the estate. In case it is not obeyed they need to report it to management and management reports it to me as the owner. Unfortunately that is the rules of the estate and all of us, guests and owners need to obey it. The house rules are visible inside the house for each guest that make use of my house.
The gas bottle was full on the date of arrival, just strange that the guest waits four days after staying in my house to report that the gas bottle is empty. The guest did send me his expenses for refilling the gas bottle, and I did refund the amount back into his account.
The oven of the stove did give a problem, but it has been attended to, that is normal wear and tear that happens, but the rest of the stove was in perfectly working order.
You are not allowed to smoke inside the house and that is communicated with every guest before arrival and when I received this question from the guest via “whatsapp” I did indicate to him that he is more than welcome to smoke in the entertainment area, it is a covered area where you can smoke and not get wet when it rains.
The guest is correct that the departure time is 10:00 in the morning so the cleaning lady was early, but she did not enter the house before 10:00 but did clean the steps on the outside of the house as well as the undercover parking area.
I hope next time this guest will make sure they read the rules and “whatsapps” next time before arrival so that they understand how the house operates to ensure a pleasant stay at this lovely area of our beautiful country, South Africa.
Regards the owner and thank you for your support.
