Unique stay. Peaceful. Interesting. Beautiful views. Nice walk up The Pass or in the lemon farm. Super pub/restaurant with great atmosphere and stylish art gallery on site. Close to the Skimmelberg rooibos and buchu tea plantation for a tour.

Excellent accommodation. My husband and I and two daughters have stayed here a few times. Very neat - good location - everything we need. We always have a great stay and would definitely recommend it.

Uitstekende verblyf. Ek en my man en twee dogters het al 'n paar keer hier oornag. Baie netjies - goeie ligging - alles wat ons nodig het. Ons bly altyd baie lekker en sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

Very neat, but could do with a light cooler. El Bly Altus is nice there, although in the hotel unit there is no air conditioning and would have liked a little discount on that unit, already because the other one has air conditioning and the price is the same as another unit that has air conditioning, so very stuffy in. Otherwise, this is our stay every time we travel to Namibia.

Baie netjies, maar kon doen met 'n ligverkoeler. El Bly Altus lekker daar, alhoewel in die hotel eenheid is daar nie ligversorging nie en sou dalk bietjie afslag op daai eenheid wou gehad het, reeds omdat die ander ligversorging het en die prys is dieselfde as 'n ander eenheid wat lugversorging het, dus baie bedompig in. Andersins is dit ons stay oor elke keer wanneer ons Namibia toe reis.

The disappointment of the trip. I believe that the facility is far too expensive for what it offers. Judging by the photos, I was under the impression that the guesthouse stay would be the highlight of my 21 day vacation. The cost of the unit is at least 80% more expensive than a similar guesthouse I stayed in in another town, but which was in a much better environment and with much better facilities and security. The location, next to the N7 and the immediate vicinity of the unit, does not justify the cost. This is a unit from a bygone era, but the kitchen utensils do not need to be carried over from previous generations. The TV is also still an old 'box' type and I could not get it on any channel other than a channel that apparently offers constant news. If the windows and the shutters in front of the windows are opened, there are no further safety measures, and one cannot sleep in the heat with the windows closed in a dark place. I prefer fresh air to air-conditioned air.

Die teleurstelling van die reis. Ek is van oordeel dat die fasiliteit by verre te duur is vir wat dit bied. Geoordeel aan die foto's, was ek onder die indruk dat die gastehuisverblyf die hoogtepunt van my 21 dae vakansie sal wees. Die eenheid se koste is ten minste 80% duurder as 'n soortgelyke gastehuis waarin ek in 'n ander dorp ook oorgebly het, maar wat in 'n baie beter omgewing was en met baie beter fasiliteite en sekuriteit. Die ligging, langs die N7 en die onmiddellike omgewing van die eenheid, regverdig nie die koste nie. Dit is 'n eenheid uit 'n vervloë era, maar die kombuis eetgerei hoef nie ook oorgedra te wees van die vorige geslagte nie. Die TV is ook nog 'n ou 'boks'-tipe en ek kon dit nie op 'n ander kanaal kry as 'n kanaal wat klaarblyklik voortdurende nuus aanbied nie. As die vensters en die luike voor die vensters oopgemaak word, is daar geen verdere veiligheidsmaatreëls nie, en 'n mens kan nie in die hitte met toe vensters in 'n donker plek slaap nie. Ek verkies vars lug bo lugreëling-lug.

A wonderful, though short stay. As part of a wildflower trip, my friends and I needed to stay overnight in Citrusdal. I booked at the Old Village and our host contacted us about our arrival and check-in and was very helpful. The Old Village is a historic place with a fabulous view over the valley and we loved the atmosphere of the old hotel. Everything was beautifully clean. The hospitality supplies were good and the beds were really comfortable. We weren't sure what to expect concerning the restaurant, but enjoyed the fact that it is part of the Old Village. There were a good many tables occupied, which added to the atmosphere and we had an excellent dinner. I would definitely stay there again.

Special accommodation. It was very special. Beautiful location and cottage. Good value for money. Incredible to think we stayed in a place that is 300 years old. Beautiful view. Old-fashioned furniture part of old times. Thank you for the treats like wood, ice, coffee, tea, rusks and cookies. We were in Kerkhuis. We would love to come again!

Besondere verblyf. Dit was baie besonders. Pragtige ligging en huisie. Goeie waarde vir geld. Ongelooflik om te dink ons het in 'n plek gebly wat 300 jaar oud is. Pragtige uitsig. Outydse meubels deel van ou wê. Dankie vir bederf soos hout, ys, koffie, tee, beskuit en koekies. Ons was in Kerkhuis. Ons kom graag weer!

Fantastic stay, with the provided wood for our fireplaces, the highlight! We had a very nice stay, and regretted not booking for longer.

Fantasiese verblyf, met die gegewe hout vir ons kaggelvure, die hoogtepunt! Ons het baie lekker gebly, en was spyt dat ons nie vir langer bespreek het nie.
