The Crooked Forest

Mooi en gemaklike verblyf.

Verblyf was uitstekend.

Baie goed, netjies en alles wat ons nodig gehad het.

Wil net baie dankie sê dat hulle ons op baie kort kennisgewing gehelp het. Dit word opreg waardeer.

Baie gerieflik, mooi en netjies.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die plek is baie mooi en netjies. Dit is ook maklik om die plek te kry. Dit is baie gerieflik en bekostigbaar.

Friendly host, clean apartment and safe area.

Wonderful stay, the host was very helpful and the apartment was clean. It had everything I needed and was in a safe area. Good WiFi too!

Comfortable and good value for money.

We stayed in the Sparrows Nest and Eagles Nest rooms. Both rooms were comfortable and clean. Eagles Nest is a huge room with a sitting area. The shower in the Sparrows Nest is a problem due to low water pressure and the drainage is inadequate (even for the low water pressure). There were issues which hopefully are attended to for an improved stay. The host was very responsive, which is always helpful. The location is centrally located and is quiet and peaceful, tucked away in the suburb.

First time going there and I'm definitely going again.

My stay at The Crooked Forest was amazing. It was so peaceful and quiet. No interruptions. You are welcomed with open arms. The service was polite, warm and nurturing.

Warm and welcoming.

My stay was lovely. I love the location, it's quiet and safe. The room was neat and clean.

Was waarde vir geld.

Ek sal net 'n ekstra liggie in die kamer laat vir gaste indien daar kragonderbreking is. Dit was Vrydagaand pikdonker toe ons daar aangekom het en daar was loadshedding.

Out of this world.

It was really amazing. I enjoyed the peace and beauty of the place.

Recommend it.

I'm going back in February 2024. It's a home away from home. The host is great.

Wat 'n pragtige plekkie!

Dankie Michelle, jy is 'n besondere gasvrou. Die 3 aande wat ons oorgebly het, was 'n plesier. Dankie vir al jou moeite en ek moet jou komplimenteer vir hierdie eenheid, dis pragtig en presies nét soos geadverteer. Ons sal beslis weer daar kom afpak!

Veilige verblyf.

Alles was perfek vir 1 aand.

Baie netjies en rustig, maar baie naby hoofroetes.

Lekker gebly en goeie diens ontvang.

Baie gemaklik en skoon!

Die plek is baie netjies en skoon, modern en gerieflik! Sal beslis aanbeveel!

Pragtige plek met rustige atmosfeer.

Baie vriendelike gasvrou. Baie netjies en skoon. Pragtige tuin, rustige atmosfeer en stil woonbuurt. Heerlik gekuier, 2de keer wat ons hier kuier. Sal weer kom.

Peaceful, quiet and clean.

A nice getaway, the view of the plants and trees from your room gives you such a tranquil feeling.

Luxury spa room.

Netjies, skoon en gerieflik. Diens is baie goed en als het gewerk soos dit moes. Als wat mens nodig het om te oornag in gerief.

Was a great stay.

Was very clean. The owner was very friendly and was just great overall.

Vriendelike en behulpsame eienaars.

Enigste aanbeveling is om dalk 'n spieël in die Eagle's Nest-kamer naby 'n kragprop aan te bring en by die Luxury Spa unit 'n spieël bokant die wasbak in die toilet.

Gesellige, netjiese geriewe en vriendelike diens.

Praktiese, netjiese kamers in 'n stil omgewing — sal weer daar gaan bly op my sakereise.

Stil en rustig gewees, niks het my gepla nie.

Oorweeg dit om weer daar te gaan slaap. Michelle was behulpsaam en vriendelik en die opset was netjies en die pryse is billik. Dis 'n goeie pakket.

It's a very nice and quiet place.

Our room was neat and clean. The only problem we had was TV. I think it will be nice if they install DStv and the Wi-Fi was also off rather than we enjoyed.

Baie netjies. Daar is water gedurende load shedding. Nuwe stortkop sal wonderlik wees en die load shedding-lig was pap.

Dit is regtig 'n mooi plekkie en sal verseker weer daar slaap. Die WiFi was onbeskikbaar gedurende load shedding. Dalk 'n UPS aanskaf vir die WiFi-router.

Vriendelike mense.

Stort se water nie 100% reg nie. Of te warm of te koud, maar het reggekom.

Peaceful.

Very peaceful place, welcoming staff, place not far from the mall, Pretoria is very hot but because of many trees we didn't even feel the heat, and you get an update of load shedding via WhatsApp every day and it's accurate.

Great value for money.

Michaela was a great host. Even if we encountered a problem with the wifi or TV, she was always available to fix the problem. We also got updates on load shedding schedules.

Quite disappointing.

Spa room has no privacy. Toilet wall not to ceiling. No backup lights etc. during loadshedding. Wifi and TV signal not reliable. Can't reach the spa bath taps! No mirror in toilet above basin. Toilet light facing the door at low level which is very impractical and irritating for someone in bed when toilet is used at night. Light should be on side wall or ceiling.

Rustig.

Ons het gegaan net om te rus, en dis wat ons gedoen. Stil en rustig.

Baie rustig en so mooi netjies en skoon.

Ons was vreindlik verwelkom. Die kamer was skoon en netjies. Als is daar wat jy nodig het.

Amazing.

Was really good, will want to come back.

Fantasties.

Die eienaar is vriendelik en help waar sy kan. Kamer was skoon en alles was daar. Alles in die kamer werk ook. Puik ligging en veilig.

Regtig baie lekker gekuier.

Rustig. Pragtig. Voel behoorlik soos klein woud.

Verblyf.

Ek het 2 weke lank daar gebly.

Baie aangenaam.

Presies wat ons nodig gehad het. Baie aangenaam en skoon en netjies.

Fantastiese oase in die middel van die stad. Absoluut die moeite werd met alles wat jy nodig het.

Michelle het ons baie vriendelik ontvang. Die tuin skep die atmosfeer van 'n woud met pragtige hoë bome wat ons blyplek omring het. Eagle's Nest is baie privaat en ons kon heerlik ontspan. Dit is ook in 'n baie stil woonbuurt geleë. Daar is 'n pragtige, skitterblou swembad om in af te koel. Ons blyplek was silwerskoon met alles wat jy kan nodig hê. Daar is 'n yskas, ketel met koffie, tee, suiker, melk, breekware, eetgerei, toaster, gratis Wi Fi en 'n TV met Netflix. Ons het heerlik op die bed geslaap en daar is ook 2 baie gemaklike stoele om in te ontspan. Dit is baie naby aan Wonderboom Junction, asook Kollonade-winkelsentrums. Ons sal definitief weer hier kom kuier.

Netjies en skoon.

Ideaal vir gaste wat 'n nag of 2 moet oorbly. Mooi uitsig.

The place was warm and quite.

I've booked the place for a long weekend just to rest and I was looking forward to a nice, quiet weekend. I was happy with my choice, because it has offered me just want I wanted, it was also clean and the owner was nice and welcoming. Looking forward to go back again.

Pragtige, stil plek. Alles was reg.

Sal enige tyd weer daar gaan bly.

Netjies, skoon en gerieflik.

Ons het ons aand baie geniet. Vriendelik ontvang. Die plek is netjies en skoon. My vrou kan nie ophou praat oor die lekker duvet nie. Ek het die spabad geniet. Sal definitief weer terug gaan.

Vriendelike diens en beslis die skoonste plek.

Puik. Dit was die beste plek om vir enige iemand aan te beveel. Ons het ons motor laat diens en al die motorhandelaars was ongeveer 3 blokke se stap soontoe. Wonder Waters is 'n klipgooi vandaar af. Ons sal beslis weer daar kom bespreek.

Vriendelik, skoon en rustig.

Michelle is baie vriendelik. Die verblyf is altyd netjies en in orde. Hulle is ook altyd bereid om te help met vinnige spesiale behoeftes sonder om twee keer te dink.

Excellent.

See stars.

Besigheid besoek.

Was 'n heerlike, veilige en baie gemaklike akkommodasie en ek sal hulle aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat in daardie deel van Pretoria moet oorslaap. Baie sentraal geleë en in 'n baie stil area.

Al probleem is dat daar nie ligte buite is nie en met 'n kronkelpaadjie na kamer het ek in die donker daar geval.

Moet beslis ligte wat lei na die toe kamers aansit.

Baie lekker gebly. Michelle altyd daar om te help en goeie gasvryheid te verseker.

Sal weer daar bly. Goeie waarde.

Nie sleg vir die doel waarvoor ek dit gebruik het nie. Loadshedding het natuurlik nie gehelp nie (asook 'n substasie wat buite werking was), maar dit is buite die beheer van Crooked Forest.

Dit sal veel beter wees vir 'n besigheidsreis soos wat ek gedoen het indien daar iets soos 'n lessenaar of groter tafel sou wees met 'n muurprop waar 'n skootrekenaar ingeprop kan word. Crooked Forest het darem 'n lang "lead" voorsien! Wi-Fi ontvangs was ook nie baie goed nie.

Quiet.

The beds need to be replaced especially that in the Owl's room it makes noises when you sit on it and the mattress is uncomfortable and the bathroom is smaller than I realized. It rained and there was a leak on the ceiling and the Owl room smelled moldy, the ceiling needs replacing and I'm not sure if cleaning is lacking because I saw old spiderwebs in the bathroom. The pool could also do with a bit of cleaning. The place is nice and quiet. They have dogs and cats, very quiet pets and you never come across them no worries if you are afraid of dogs. The rooms have privacy, they are medium sized, only the Owl's room has a stove. We love tea and were happy to see we got a lot of teabags in our respective rooms. The place is nice I would go back if there above issues were to be fixed. And they have Netflix, Showmax, Amazon prime Bonus.

Genotvol.

Is geleë in baie rustige area en is lekker privaat. Ongelukkig speel loadshedding deesdae 'n groot negatiewe rol.

Heel gerieflik.

Het doel van naby OP gedien. Akkommodasie gerieflik.

Vriendelik en altyd netjies.

Sien sterre.

Lovely owner. Owl's Nest has weak Wi-Fi, bad water pressure, and thin walls.

Lovely owner, she helped me when my personal HDMI cable wasn't working for my laptop by lending me one of hers - she was very accommodating. I also liked the privacy I had walking to my car and back. I stayed in The Owl's Nest. In my room the Wi-Fi didn't work too well on the bed, so you need to sit by the coffee table near the door. I would probably return if it weren't for the incredibly weak hot water pressure. Showers were really terrible and it was my main cause of unhappiness. The walls were also very thin to the room next door (if you know what I mean). Some of the given dishes were not properly cleaned. When there are similar prices of guesthouses nearby that offer breakfast as well, it's just hard to recommend. Then again, I only stayed in The Owls Nest, so I'm not sure what the other rooms are like.

It's actually a very nice and chilled place to be.

The service rendered there was accurate and the safety as well.

Baie lekker gewees.

Baie gasvry en behulpsaam en dis 'n plesier om daar te woon.

Great place and just what you need.

The place was spacious and just what we needed for one night's stay. It was also very clean and private.

Lovely and comfortable stay

Thank you so much Michelle for hosting us. We appreciate your friendly welcome. What a lovely place. Will surely visit again.

Netjiese gerieflike oornag verblyf

Hierdie is die ideale plek vir verblyf in Pretoria Noord. Dit is skoon, netjies en baie gerieflik toegerus en in 'n veilige area geleë. Ons kon eers 21:00 arriveer, maar die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en het ons tegemoetgekom deur vir ons te wag. Gaste kry 'n afstandbeheer vir die hek, wat toegang tot die woonstel en parkeerplek vergemaklik. Daar is 'n tafel waar iemand gemaklik kan sit en werk, asook WiFi-toegang.

Baie netjiese plek en vriendelike mense, sal beslis weer besoek.

Beveel die plek aan. Ons was baie vriendelik verwelkom. Alhoewel dit 'n koue dag was het ons lekker warm geslaap met die lekker warm komberse. Plek is baie netjies en die mense is baie vriendelik. Baie dankie.

Magical.

My wife and I really enjoyed the stay even though we don't get to do it often. The only bad thing I would say is that there was no stove so I could make some breakfast for my wife in bed. But made other plans for that.

Aangenaam en veilig.

Die eienares is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die verblyfplek se erf is pragtig, met groot bome. Daar is veilige parkering. Die woonstel self is gerieflik met alles wat mens nodig het, en alhoewel daar nog 'n woonstel langsaan is, is dit so ontwerp dat mens die minimum klank hoor van die woonstel langsaan. Daar is diefwering voor die vensters, gratis WiFi, en 'n remote- en sleutelstelsel wat mens toelaat om in en uit die hek te gaan soos mens wil, en vroeg te kan vertrek, sonder om die eienares hoef te pla. Die woonstel is in 'n rustige omgewing, maar steeds naby genoeg aan die hoofpaaie dat mens maklik toegang het daartoe.

It was relaxing.

Thank you for the friendliness the place is beautiful and so relaxing and peaceful. I really enjoyed my stay.

Quiet corner of Pretoria.

The room is very comfortable with a small kitchen area and a massive jet bath to sit back and relax. Definitely will recommend The Crooked Forest in the future.

It was a very pleasant stay.

We enjoyed our stay.

Vriendelike en behulpsame gasvrou. Lekker gekuier. Die spa-bad baie geniet.

Ons het in die spa-eenheid en een van die ander eenhede gebly. Daar is aan ons verwagtinge voldoen. Net een vriendelike voorstel - daar is ongelukkig glad nie 'n spieël in die spa-eenheid nie. Miskien kan die eienaar oorweeg om een te installeer.

Great stay.

I got amazing treatment.

Ontspanning

Baie geniet. Vinnige wegbreeek fantasies.

Was rustig, skoon en netjies.

Al wat ek kan noemL die bed is gedaan, kraak vreeslik en die vere is pap. Kan matras aan die kant met een hand in mekaar druk. En dis nie 'n sponsmatras nie.

Dit was aangenaam.

Daar kort teelepels en daar kan beter voorsiening gemaak word vir die hordes muskiete.

Perfect time to relax.

Will most certainly visit you guys again. Friendly people and service.

Unpleasant.

Large toilet with no basin. Expected to wash hands in kitchen sink. Ants in the bedroom. Pictures of parking, ants and basin available if required. A jaccuzzi is normarly accompanied by a shower elsewhere where we visited. Not this time. Parking in the mud.

I enjoyed my stay.

The owner was so welcoming and friendly.

Bosveld in die stad.

Ek en my vrou het vir 2 weke daar gebly en ons was aangenaam verras met die plekkie. Die rustigheid is sielsverkwikkend. Soggens kan jy sit en luister na die voëlgesang. Saans hoor jy die krieke. Alhoewel redelik naby die pad, hoor mens geen voertuie nie. Die bome in die erf, maak dat dit werklik voel of jy in die bosveld is. Die gasvrou het ons so vriendelik ontvang na die lang pad wat ons gery het. Enige navrae wat ons gehad het, het sy ons mee gehelp na die beste van haar vermoë. Dit is skoon en netjies. Groot spasie. Kaste het meer as genoeg plek vir klere. Ons sal enige tyd teruggaan na Crooked Forest.

Value for money.

I am very happy and satisfied with the place. It has met my expectation, very clean, quite and the owner gave us a warm welcome, will recommend the place.

Fantasties.

Waardeer die vriendelikheid.

Was a great place to relax in cleanliness and comfort!

It is a lovely little flat that is kept simple yet clean and comfortable. Perfect for a relaxing night or two as is equipped with Netflix and many restaurants close by.

Pragtige, skoon, moderne akkommodasie met 'n pragtige tuin.

Michelle was uiters vriendelik en haar plekke is pragtig, skoon en modern. Die kamer kyk uit op 'n pragtige swembad en tuin. Ek sal haar akkommodasie enige tyd aanbeveel.

Great getaway place!

It was a great place to stay! The host was welcoming and well organised. The room was tidy. It really was value for money.

Baie verbaas.

Die eienaar was baie gaaf en vriendelik. Die kamer was netjies en aangenaam, behalwe vir die stort. Jy draai koue water oop dan het jy net koue water, die warm water verdwyn.

Very comfortable, clean, convenient and safe with a very welcoming host!

I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family and certainly visit here again! Michelle is very friendly and welcoming and her place is very neat, comfortable, convenient and safe! Thanks Michelle!

Beautiful surroundings and peaceful.

Close to all amenities and shops. Very spacious and well setup. Loved the colour scheme.

Baie aangenaam en rustig.

Ek sal beslis The Crooked Forest aanbeveel. Jy word goed verwelkom en ervaar rustigheid.

Peace and tranquility.

Quite neat and good host. Not far from the shops and place was not that hard to find, though it would be much easier if they could have a sign at the gate. Would definitely come back again.
