Wonderful stay! Thank you for your hospitality. The guesthouse is centrally located to the city and the wine district. There is ample parking and the directions were easy to follow to get there. The units offer comfort and privacy to guests. We had a very pleasant stay.

Heerlik gebly! Dankie vir jou gasvryheid. Die gastehuis se ligging is sentraal tot die stad en die wyn distrik. Daar is voldoende parkering en die instruksies was maklik om te volg om daar te kom. Die eenhede bied gemak en privaatheid aan gaste. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

A good place to stay. A lovely stay, beds are super comfortable! Carla was helpful and kind. The kitchen was full of appliances but a bit tired.

Quiet and peaceful place with spacious rooms. It's always a pleasure to stay here. Close to everything, but away from the city noise. The unique self-check-in system is still the best I've come across.

Stil en stemmige plek met ruim kamers. Dit is altyd lekker om hier oor te bly. Naby aan alles, maar weg van die stadsgeraas. Die unieke selfinlaat sisteem is nog steeds die beste wat ek al teëgekom het.

Slept very well on a firm bed. Bedside tables have lights on them which makes it easy. The place is located in a quiet neighborhood, but quite close to everything. What I appreciated the most was the unique way to check in; no staff required. You get a message with the gate code. Press it in and turn the handle. Then you have your remote control. Park the car. Then you open the container with a code with your room key in. Absolutely fantastic. You can check in anytime from 2pm to 11pm, because there doesn't have to be someone to check you in. In my opinion, brilliant idea. Also, just wanted to say thank you for my surprise discount and upgrade.

Baie lekker geslaap op 'n ferm bed. Bedkassies het ligte op wat dit maklik maak. Die plek is in 'n stil woonbuurt geleë, maar redelik naby aan alles. Wat ek die meeste waardeer het, is die unieke wyse om in te boek; geen staf benodig nie. Jy kry 'n boodskap met hek se kode. Druk dit in en draai die handvatsel. Dan het jy jou afstandbeheer. Parkeer die motor. Dan maak jy die houer oop met 'n kode met jou kamer sleutel in. Absoluut fantasties. Jy kan enige tyd van 2pm tot 11pm inklok, want daar hoef nie iemand te wees wat jou inteken nie. Volgens my briljante idee. Wil ook net dankie sê vir my verrassingsafslag en opgradering.

Thank you, Johnny, for the excellent report. It was a real pleasure to host you at (Abelia Guesthouse). Even though we never met in person, you were always quick to respond on WhatsApp and it was a pleasure to work with you.

Dankie, Johnny, vir die uitstekende verslag. Dit was regtig lekker om jou by (Abelia Gastehuis) te ontvang. Al het ons mekaar nooit persoonlik ontmoet nie, was jy altyd vinnig om op WhatsApp te reageer en dit was ’n plesier om met jou saam te werk.

Most inhospitable host - couldn't wait to leave. Thu. During an already stressful journey due to a high volume of business calls whilst en route, received a string of instructions on how to access the unit. Let the escape room challenge begin. Arrived, opened the outside key box, found a sticky single remote lying loose at the bottom of the box. Shrugged and took the remote, opened the gate, searched and found another key box with keys and a remote - perplexed, but late for the next appointment. Not allocated the downstairs room as booked, but upgraded to the upstairs room. Yes, the view is lovely, but the stairs feel like an episode from the Hunger Games (and why we picked the bottom room originally). Lugging everything upstairs and quickly leaving for the next event. Sat morning. Message from the host regarding the missing remote - explained we thought it was the remote to be used. Received a rather unpleasant reply asking what the reason was and why we removed it when it was taped to the box, when the instructions didn't say so. LOL, she said. Sat evening 21:45 - new escape game instructions on how to leave "Hotel California". (Only out by 10) but if you leave before 7am, leave the keys in the outside box. If you're a slacker and leave after 7am, you can leave the keys in the door, hunger games down the stairs and try to make it in time for the auto closing gate. (There's no one). And just to make sure you're up early, here's the loadshedding schedule (LS already started Fri and everyone has ESP) sent via WhatsApp at 06:45 Sun morning. We couldn't leave fast enough.

Dear Nicolette, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m surprised to hear that you were unhappy with the complimentary upgrade from the budget room. Most guests have appreciated this upgrade, and I’m sorry it didn’t meet your expectations. I regret that the one set of steps to the room with such a beautiful view caused you frustration. I intended to enhance your stay, and I’ll be more thoughtful in the future. I also apologize if there was any inconvenience with the check-in process. A quick call or message would have allowed us to resolve any issues immediately rather than you having to leave a review. I appreciate your feedback and will take it into account moving forward.
