Basies, skoon en netjies.

Basic, clean and tidy.
It's just a pity that there is no extra light above the work table, very difficult to work on your computer, and there is no power point near the bed, I couldn't sleep with my device because there is no power point . One plug in the whole room.

Dissatisfied and untimely.
Management is busy re-building/upgrading the guest house. Work in room 6, where I was placed, was broken: No shower door. Well on Friday afternoon tried to bring it on. Without success as it is not standard size. No soap or shower gel in bathroom. Friday afternoon provided. No mirror where I could blow dry my hair and do my makeup. Well put on Friday afternoon. No easy chair in the room. Well, on Friday afternoon, a chair was put in the room. It was only after I discussed it with the lady who served breakfast on Friday morning that certain requests were met.

El Shadai was a great base for our exploration of Marakele National Park.
El Shadai Guesthouse 's response
Dear Suzy and friend,
Thank you for your review. It was wonderful to meet you and your friend. This afternoon I read the review to the team of EL Shadai Guesthouse and we feel proud that you enjoyed your stay. It was the best news to a tired team after a long hard day of cleaning, cooking and gardening. There is always room for improvement at any establishment but to read a good review means the world to us are in Thabazimbi.
Thank you so much , we hope to see you again in future.

Warm, friendly welcome, pleasant stay.
Neat facility in a beautiful garden, under personal supervision of the owner. In a very quiet and peaceful environment, but with easy access routes to the business part. Good security. Spacious and comfortable room and bathroom. A mirror near the power plug (for blow-drying hair) would be handy. Recommend with confidence.

Dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons het spieëls bestel vir al die kamers en dit het bietjie langer gevat as wat ons gedink het. Ons vra om verskoning vir die ongerief. Ons sien uit daarna om julle gou weer te ontmoet en dit is vir ons lekker as mense met vrymoedigheid kan terugvoering gee.

Wonderful, thanks for your hospitality.
We were welcomed with open arms. We were immediately taken to the sleeping area and they also showed us the living area. Great night's sleep after some quality time in the lounge area. Delicious breakfast the next morning, beautifully presented. Home-made "Makataan" jam was divinie.

Comfortable for a night's rest.
Room was clean and tidy. It was my own fault that I didn't notice that it wasn't en suite in the description, but that's a bit too much to pay for a room without your own bathroom.

Hospitable and friendly.
Owners/staff: Very nice and friendly welcome, warm helpful owners. Entire guesthouse: Honeymoon suite is not detached, but part of a cottage with kitchen and dining room. Share cottage with 2 more bedrooms that are not en suite. If there are no other guests, it is private. It didn't really bother us, because we weren't on honeymoon. Easy access to kitchen, convenient for making coffee and also fridge available in the kitchen for a few small things. Unfortunately no milk for tea/coffee only creamer, no biscuits. A delicious breakfast included in the stay. Beautiful garden and plunge pool for guests. Secure parking although not always covered. Honeymoon suite: Bed is of high quality. Only 2 flat pillows per person, I would recommend that there should be at least 2 spare pillows and blanket in the closet. Thabazimbi is a warm town, but it was raining and it was cold and there was only a sheet and a thin blanket on the bed. A frustration for women who want to blow dry their hair by a mirror - perhaps a solution is an extension cord to the bathroom or a mirror near the wall plug. The bathroom is comfortable, the shower is great, the towels are a bit tired. Other than that we had a good experience.

The people are very friendly and it is a nice and cosy place, not very modern, but very nice. There was a problem with us checking in, the people wanted to check us into a cheaper room than we booked, but otherwise it was a very nice place.

As strangers came there and left with newfound friends.
Just one word to sum it up: Wow! Marietjie and Paul the owners, wonderful and friendly people. Upon our arrival they welcomed us to our car. We have discovered new friends in them. The owners also boast a very nice garden with various exotic plants. I can recommend them anytime. I believe LekkeSlaap can proudly recommend this B&B. Will definitely go back to El Shadai again.
