Pleasant and convenient. This place was convenient, clean and the breakfast was delicious.

Dit was genotvol en gerieflik. Die plekkie was gerieflik en skoon en die ontbyt was heerlik.

Felt like our own home. We had a lovely stay. The breakfast was delicious. Friendly staff. Clean and neat. Well equipped.

Het soos ons eie huis gevoel. Ons het heerlik gebly. Baie lekker ontbyt. Vriendelike personeel. Skoon en netjies. Baie goed toegerus.

Friendly staff, neat, clean. Friendly staff, very clean and tidy. Rooms quite small and parking area a bit cramped, but sufficient for just an overnight stay.

Vriendelike staf, netjies, skoon. Vriendelike staf, baie skoon en netjies. Kamers redelik klein en parkeerarea effens beknop, maar voldoende vir net oorslaap.

Home away from home. Hostess was very helpful, considerate and goes out of her way to make your stay pleasant.

Huis weg van jou huis. Gasvrou was baie hulpvaardig, bedagsaam en gaan uit haar pad om jou verblyf aangenaam te maak.

Place clean and staff very friendly. One setback is the noise from the stairs for rooms upstairs during the night.

It needs an upgrade - look and feel tired! So many area of neglect - to name a few: Property grounds not tidy. Entrance through garage unprofessional. Electric fence broken. Sensor on rolling gate to protect vehicle does not work. Shower flimsy. Lots of signs all over the place.

Die plek kan doen met opknapping - lyk en voel moeg! So baie afgeremde areas - om maar 'n paar te noem: Die persele is nie netjies nie. Onprofessioneel om deur die garage in te gaan. Elektriese heining is gebreek en die hek wat veronderstel is om voertuie te beskerm werk nie. Flimsy stort. Boodskappe orals.

Thank you for the constructive review, Margie. Please note that the original owners are back and working on getting everything fixed accordingly. You will be happy to see that a lot of improvements have been made with care. Hope to have you back soon in our new and improved guesthouse.

Disappointing. Doesn't look like the pictures at all. Garden very neglected, rubbish everywhere. Does not speak Afrikaans. Definitely not worth R950.00 per night. At least staff were friendly and helpful.

Teleurstellend. Lyk glad nie soos op die foto's. Tuin baie verwaarloos, rommel orals rond. Praat nie Afrikaans. Beslis nie R950.00 per nag werd gewees nie. Personeel was darem vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Hello Jeanisa I apologised for the rubble as we have been doing renovations to the property in order to make improvements. I specifically asked you if there were issues as my staff had led me to believe you did have issues but when I asked you, you remained silent. We are certainly good value for money as most of our guests will attest to.You did not request that we speak Afrikaans to you either that I am aware of. My staff are Zimbabwean (with permits) and are unable. Ek kan afirkaans praat wanneer iemand vra. Ek is jammer daaroor. Kind regards Bernard
