Uneasy, unpleasant, uncomfortable.
Sybill Rest is a great place to stay. But for us, it was a bit uneasy because your flat door is right next to the owner's door and you share a balcony, which is a bit uncomfortable. They should think of making the entrance of the flat at the braai area, which can be the kitchen/lounge area, and move the bedroom to the lounge/kitchen areas, and you are also close to the bathroom. They have a good idea, but it would be great if you, as a guest staying there for 8 to 10 days, have a complete section and entrance to yourself. You should just put your trust in people. We left 2 days before our check-out date to go to another place where we could feel completely comfortable, although we knew there wouldn't be any refunds, but because we felt uncomfortable like we were being watched the entire time. The braai drum was full of ash, and it's not our duty to clean it. But we paid, and we tried to make the most of our remaining days. Nevertheless, we couldn't and decided to check out 2 days before the time. Our host was a phenomenal person. I also told him the bed felt like stone. A queen XL bed should be used with proper mattresses. Coming from a long trip, who wants to sleep on a bed that feels like stone? The wooden toilet seat smelled because it's already a good couple of years old. The settee was just so uncomfortable. Pillows need to be cleaned regularly so that the next guest doesn't smell someone else's breath on the pillow and cases. We had to go buy 2 pillows. You must also sit at an angle to use the toilet because it's literally 10cm away from the wall, very uncomfortable. Our host was great, keeping us informed about all the attractions and shows. A real pity we felt like that. Wasted money. The peaceful setting in Lambert's Bay was great. Just a pity we had to cut our stay short but not our vacation. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the place has been built and I saw that yours is very long, which is uncomfortable. We have always received compliments about the wonderful bed, but it is a person's right to say how you feel. Thank you, we will take note. The place is very convenient for our weekend guests who are on a quick getaway. Long holidays are busy. The braai drum is full of sand and is not emptied, it has to be that way. But let it go well and good luck.
Dankie vir die terugvoer. Ongelukkig is die plek klaar gebou en het gesien jouan is baie lank, wat dit maar ongemaklik het. Ons het darem nog altyd komplimente gekry oor die heerlike bed, maar dis mens se reg om te sê hoe jy voel. Dankie ons teken so aan. Plekkie is heel gerieflik vir ons naweekgaste wat vinnig wegbreek. Lang vakansies is maar druk. Die braaidrom is vol sand en word nie leeg gemaak nie, dit moet so wees. Maar laat dit goed gaan en voorspoed.

Value for money and had a good nights rest
Neat clean and cosy. I had to go buy a multiplug to charge my ipPhone, bike computer and watch. But I will keep that in my bag for future travels just in case.

Was just a place to stay and was furnished well enough.
Was very confused because there is no sign on it and in the street there is another place with the same name Sybille. Causing great confusion.
Was net oornagplek en was goed genoeg ingerig.
Was baie deurmekaar want daar is geen bord op nie en in die straat is ander plek met dieselfde naam Sybille. Veroorsaak groot verwarring.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I always make sure that I explain to guests exactly how to get to Sybilles Rest even if there is no sign on it. The other place where you knocked clearly says Sybilles Accommodation on the sign and not Sybilles Rest. But will definitely look into putting up a small sign. Glad you had a good time. regards
Baie Dankie vir julle terugvoering. Ek maak altyd seker dat ek gaste presies verduidelik hoe om by Sybilles Rest uit te kom al is daar nie ñ bordjie op nie. Die ander plek waar jul aangeklop het staan duidelik Sybilles Accommodation op die bord en nie Sybilles Rest nie. Maar sal beslis daarna kyk om ñ klein bordjie op te sit. Bly jul het lekker gekuier.

Quiet, comfortable and friendly reception.
Our break was just too short and since we don't live too far away, we can go there again one day for sea air!
Rustig, gerieflik en vriendelike ontvangs.
Ons wegbreek was net te kort en aangesien ons nie te ver daarvandaan bly nie, kan ons eendag weer daar seelug gaan soek!

Place is not practical.
The place is neat, but impractical for bedroom. No power plug to dry your hair and the kitchen has no place to cook. You have to cook on the sink. The braai place is not practical at all. There is a large drum to make a fire in and then there are no braai tongs in the place either. For the price it is ridiculous to me. One night the alarm went off. The next day the gate did not open. Then power had to be laid first. For us this was not fun at all.
Plek is nie prakties nie.
Die plek is netjies, maar onprakties by slaapkamer. Geen kragprop om jou hare droog te maak nie en die kombuis het nie plek om kos te maak nie. Jy moet op die wasbak kosmaak. Die braaiplek is glad nie prakties nie. Daar is 'n groot drom om vuur in te maak en dan is daar ook geen braaitang in die plek nie. Vir die prys is dit vir my belaglik. Een aand het die alarm afgegaan. Die volgende dag het die hek nie oopgegaan nie. Toe moes daar eers krag gelê word. Vir ons was hierdie glad nie lekker gewees nie.
Thank you for your feedback. Post that you said while you were here. But will definitely look at your suggestion. As I said. The place is newly built and that's how we learn. Thank you and Regards Gerhard
Dankie vir jou terugvoering. Plaas dat jul gesê het terwyl jul hier was. Maar sal beslis kyk na jul voorstel. Soos ek gesê het. Die plekkie is nuut gebou en so leer ons. Dankie en Groete Gerhard
