Comfortable, clean, secure accommodation in a very good location. We were met with friendliness and professionalism. Our room was spotlessly clean with good bed linen and a very welcome air conditioner. The accommodation was perfect for our two-night stay in Oudtshoorn and was well located in a quiet cul-de-sac, in easy reach of restaurants and other amenities in the area. It was our second stay there. We didn't make use of the huge swimming pool, but it was crystal clear and extremely inviting!

Could be perfect, shame about the interior doors. Very good communal facilities with a lovely swimming pool. Reception service is very good and helpful. Very neat. Unfortunately I also ended up in the rooms that have internal doors to other rooms, and I had to listen to business and family conversations in all three rooms until 11pm.

Kon perfek wees, jammer oor die binnedeure. Baie goeie gemeenskaplike fasiliteite met heerlike swembad. Ontvangsdiens is baie goed en behulpsaam. Baie netjies. Ongelukkig het ek ook in die kamers geëindig wat binnedeure na ander kamers het, en ek moes tot 23:00 luister na besigheids- en familiegesprekke in al drie kamers.

Good day, Thank you very much for your positive feedback about our communal facilities, swimming pool and reception service. We truly appreciate that you highlighted the cleanliness and friendliness of our team. We are sorry to hear that the internal doors between rooms disturbed your peace. We understand how important a quiet and peaceful stay is, and we will discuss this with our team to find better solutions. Your feedback helps us to continuously improve. Hope to welcome you back to our little oasis soon, and make more beautiful memories together. Kind regards, Reservations

Goeie dag, Baie dankie vir u positiewe terugvoer oor ons gemeenskaplike fasiliteite, swembad en ontvangsdiens. Ons waardeer dit opreg dat u die netheid en vriendelikheid van ons span uitgelig het. Ons is jammer om te hoor dat die binnedeure tussen kamers u rus versteur het. Ons verstaan hoe belangrik ’n stil en rustige verblyf is, en ons sal dit met ons span bespreek om beter oplossings te vind. U terugvoer help ons om voortdurend te verbeter. Hoop om u gou weer by ons klein oase te verwelkom, en meer mooi herinneringe saam te maak. Vriendelike groete, Besprekings

Will not stay there again. No, there was no milk for coffee, there were only 2 bags of coffee. Rooms were cleaned late, stains on bedding.

Sal nie weer daar bly nie. Nee, was nie melk vir koffie nie, was net 2 sakkies koffie. Kamers was laat skoongemaak, vlekke op beddegoed.

Dear Theuns, Thank you very much for your stay at Karoo Retreat. We are truly sorry to hear that you will not be staying with us again. The yellow stains you refer to were caused by borehole water, and we have since removed all affected linens and replaced them with fresh, new quality sets to ensure a much better experience for our guests. Regarding the coffee and milk, our rooms are equipped with 3-in-1 coffee sachets, which is why milk is not placed as a standard item in the rooms. That said, we are always more than willing to provide milk to any guest who requests it. We would have really appreciated the opportunity to welcome you back so that you could enjoy the improvements we have made to our little oasis. Kind regards Reviews

Beste Theuns, Baie dankie dat jy en jou familie by Karoo Retreat tuis gegaan het. Ons is regtig jammer om te hoor dat u nie weer by ons sal kom oornag nie. Die geel kolle waarna u verwys, is veroorsaak deur boorgatwater, en ons het sedertdien al die aangetaste linne verwyder en dit vervang met vars, nuwe kwaliteit stelle om 'n baie beter ervaring vir ons gaste te verseker. Oor die koffie en melk, ons kamers is toegerus met 3-in-1 koffiesakkies, wat die rede is waarom melk nie as 'n standaard item in die kamers geplaas word nie. Dit gesê, ons is altyd meer as bereid om melk aan enige gas te voorsien wat dit versoek. Ons sou dit opreg waardeer het om die geleentheid te hê om u weer welkom te heet sodat u die verbeterings wat ons aan ons klein oase gemaak het, kon geniet. Vriendelike groete Besprekings
