Restful. The wooden bed is a bit creaky at night, but spacious and great accommodation.

Rustig. Die houtbed is effens krakerig deur die nag, maar ruim en groot verblyf.

Thank you for your feedback! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the spacious and large stay. We apologize for the slightly creaky wooden bed throughout the night. We have noticed that a few guests have mentioned this in recent months and we have tried many solutions without success. Recently we asked Grok AI for a solution and it made the following suggestion. We have implemented it for two weeks and it seems to be the answer. We hope to welcome you back soon! “Friction at joints: Cracking often occurs where pieces of wood rub against each other. Lubrication joints: Apply wax (paraffin, beeswax, or candle wax) to the areas where pieces of wood rub against each other. Where wax may not be ideal, use a silicone spray or WD-40.”

Dankie vir jou terugvoering! Ons is bly om te hoor dat jy die ruim en groot verblyf geniet het. Ons vra om verskoning vir die effens krakerige houtbed deur die nag. Ons het opgemerk dat 'n paar gaste dit die afgelope maande genoem het en ons het baie oplossings probeer sonder sukses. Onlangs het ons Grok KI gevra vir 'n oplossing en dit het die volgende voorstel gemaak. Ons het dit vir twee weke geïmplementeer en dit lyk na die antwoord. Ons hoop om jou gou weer te verwelkom! “Wrywing by verbindings: Gekraak vind dikwels plaas waar houtstukke teen mekaar vryf. Smeer verbindings: Wend was (paraffien, byewas, of kerswas) aan op die areas waar houtstukke teen mekaar vryf. Waar was dalk nie ideaal is nie, gebruik 'n silikoonspuit of WD-40.”

Very homely and welcoming. Very good reception experience and the room was large.

Baie huislik en ontvanklik. Baie goeie ontvangs ervaring en kamer was groot.

Please see previous explanation. We did not stay overnight as planned. The website's advertising of the property and accommodation did not reflect it. The accommodation was run down and not at all as idyllic as the photos, or the price, made it seem. Furthermore, upon arrival, there were only cleaners on site and no one to greet us. The cleaners were unaware of our booking and did not make us feel very welcome. We therefore proceeded to immediately look for alternative accommodation, where we spent the evening. From now on, I will be very careful not to take the website's photos and sales of accommodation at face value. A truly very bad and disappointing experience, after a long day of travel with two small children.

Sien asseblief voorafgaande verduideliking. Ons het nie oornag gebly soos beplan nie. Die webtuiste se advertering van die perseel en akkommodasie was nie ’n ware weerspieëling daarvan nie. Die akkommodasie was vervalle en glad nie so idillies soos die foto’s, of die prys, dit laat lyk het nie. Verder, met aankoms, was daar slegs skoonmakers op die perseel en niemand om ons te ontvang nie. Die skoonmakers was nie bewus van ons bespreking nie en het ons nie baie welkom laat voel nie. Ons het dus voortgegaan om onmiddellik alternatiewe verblyf te soek, waar ons die aand toe deurgebring het. Ek sal van hier af vorentoe baie versigtig wees om die webtuiste se foto’s en verkoop van akkommodasie bloot op sigwaarde te neem. Werklik ’n baie slegte en teleurstellende ervaring, ná ’n lang dag se reis met twee klein kinders.

Dear Lize, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback — we are truly sorry that your experience with us fell so far below expectations and that you felt disappointed after a long day of travel, especially with two small children with you. We completely understand how frustrating and unwelcome this must have felt, and we express our deepest regret that you were unable to stay with us as planned. We take photos and descriptions on LekkeSlaap very seriously, as they are intended to provide an accurate and transparent image of our property. We have taken 21 photos of the gardens, parking, covered areas and general grounds, plus 8 specific photos of Room 10, all taken to reflect the current condition of the accommodation. That said, we hear your concerns loud and clear that it does not match what you expected, and we will review our listings again to ensure they set the right expectations for every guest. Regarding your arrival on January 2nd: Our housekeeping team member was on site, and she contacted us immediately to confirm your reservation for Room 10. My wife and I made a quick trip to the local shops for supplies (as we often do in the afternoon to keep everything well stocked), but we quickly returned. As soon as we heard about your concerns, we came to the room, called you immediately, and offered both a discount and a full refund — we never want any guest to leave unhappy. We are sorry that those options did not work for you at the time. Your experience is important to us, and feedback like yours helps us identify where we can improve — whether it be in communication, welcoming procedures, or how we present our property. We would welcome the opportunity to make things right if you ever come through Kimberley again; please do not hesitate to contact us directly so that we can personally ensure a much warmer and more comfortable stay. We wish you and your family all the best, and safe travels ahead. Kind regards, Richard and Zuki

Dear Lize, Baie dankie dat jy die tyd geneem het om jou terugvoer te deel — ons is werklik jammer dat jou ervaring by ons so ver onder verwagtinge geval het en dat jy teleurgesteld gevoel het na ’n lang dag se reis, veral met twee klein kindertjies by jou. Ons verstaan heeltemal hoe frustrerend en onwelkom dit seker gevoel het, en ons betuig ons diepe spyt dat jy nie soos beplan by ons kon bly nie. Ons neem foto's en beskrywings op LekkeSlaap baie ernstig op, aangesien dit bedoel is om 'n akkurate en deursigtige beeld van ons eiendom te gee. Ons het 21 foto's van die tuine, parkeerplek, oordekte areas en die algemene perseel, plus 8 spesifieke foto's van Kamer 10, almal geneem om die huidige toestand van die verblyf weer te gee. Dit gesê, ons hoor jou kommer hard en duidelik dat dit nie ooreenstem met wat jy verwag het nie, en ons sal ons advertensies weer deurgaan om seker te maak dat dit die regte verwagtinge vir elke gas stel. Met betrekking tot jou aankoms op 2 Januarie: Ons huishoudingspanlid was op die perseel, en sy het ons dadelik gekontak om jou bespreking vir Kamer 10 te bevestig. My vrou en ek het kortliks na die plaaslike winkels gestap vir voorrade (soos ons dikwels in die middag doen om alles goed voorraad te hou), maar ons het vinnig teruggekeer. Sodra ons van jou besware gehoor het, het ons na die kamer gekom, jou onmiddellik gebel, en beide 'n afslag en 'n volle terugbetaling aangebied — ons wil nooit hê dat enige gas ongelukkig moet vertrek nie. Ons is jammer dat daardie opsies toe nie vir jou gewerk het nie. Jou ervaring is belangrik vir ons, en terugvoer soos joune help ons om te identifiseer waar ons kan verbeter — of dit nou in kommunikasie, verwelkomingsprosedures of hoe ons ons eiendom voorstel. Ons sal dit verwelkom om dinge reg te maak as jy ooit weer deur Kimberley kom; huiwer asb. nie om direk met ons kontak te maak sodat ons persoonlik 'n baie warmer en gemakliker verblyf kan verseker nie. Ons wens jou en jou gesin alles van die beste toe, en veiliger reise vorentoe. Vriendelike groete, Richard en Zuki

Due to circumstances not pleasant. The accommodation was neat and clean, but the linen needed replacing. Due to a power outage there was no water available (works with pressure pump). No emergency lights available in the accommodation. WiFi down due to power outage.

Weens omstandighede nie aangenaam nie. Die blyplek was netjies en skoon, maar die linne kort 'n vervanging. As gevolg van 'n kragonderbreking was daar nie water beskikbaar nie (werk met drukpomp). Geen noodligte beskikbaar in die wooneenheid nie. WiFi af weens kragonderbreking.

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are happy to hear that you found the accommodation neat and clean. We have noted your comment regarding the linen and will definitely take it up to ensure that it is replaced where necessary. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the power outage, which was unfortunately beyond our control. The lack of water (due to the pressure pump), emergency lights, and WiFi is something we will address to prevent future inconveniences, such as installing alternative solutions. We appreciate your honest comments as they help us improve. We hope to welcome you back in the future with a better experience!

Beste gas, Dankie dat u u terugvoering met ons gedeel het. Ons is bly om te hoor dat u die blyplek netjies en skoon gevind het. Ons neem kennis van u opmerking oor die linne en sal dit beslis opneem om te verseker dat dit vervang word waar nodig. Ons vra om verskoning vir die ongerief wat die kragonderbreking veroorsaak het, wat helaas buite ons beheer was. Die gebrek aan water (vanweë die drukpomp), noodligte, en WiFi is iets wat ons sal aanspreek om toekomstige ongerief te voorkom, soos die installering van alternatiewe oplossings. Ons waardeer u eerlike kommentaar, want dit help ons om te verbeter. Ons hoop om u weer in die toekoms te verwelkom met 'n beter ervaring!

The Solomon was very conveniently located, people were friendly and everything was clean. The service was friendly and helpful. The room was pretty clean. If I could make 1 suggestion it would be more TV channels - I'm not sure if there was WiFi - I didn't ask. If there is, I would just like them to tell you when you check in, or put something in the room, with the password on it.

The Solomon was baie gerieflik geleë, mense was vriendelik en alles was skoon. Die diens was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die kamer was mooi skoon. As ek 1 voorstel kan maak, is dit meer TV kanale - ek is nie seker of daar WiFi was nie - ek het nie gevra nie. As daar wel is, sou ek net wou hê dat hulle dit vir 'n mens sê as mens inboek, of iets in die kamer sit, met die password op.

Thank you for your feedback and review. We are glad you liked your stay. The DStv channels we have are the business package called Stay. I can see us moving towards TV over internet in the future, which will have greater choice. In each room, there is a green folder with details about the guest house, WiFi login and password, where to eat and what to visit. Our apologies if this wasn’t explained to you on arrival.

Can only say: Awesome! I would definitely recommend the place. We had a really nice stay. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Very clean and tidy.

Kan net sê: Awesome! Ek sal die plek beslis aanbeveel. Ons het vreeslik lekker gebly. Die staf is vriendelik en baie hulpvaardig. Baie skoon en netjies.

Neat and clean. We had no communication before arrival! After three attempts via WhatsApp, I called their number, and asked the lady for a pin location. I haven't received it yet. Later we had to find the address (Google). We slept in room 6. The bed creaked so much with every turn, that we really didn't have a good night's rest! Furthermore, the room was very neat and clean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly in the hot weather!

Netjies en skoon. Ons het geen kommunikasie voor aankoms gehad nie! Na drie keer se probeer per WhatsApp, het ek hulle nommer geskakel, en die dame gevra vir 'n pinlocation. Ek het dit nou nog nie ontvang nie. Ons moes later maar die adres (Google). Ons het in kamer 6 geslaap. Die bed het met elke omdraai so gekraak, dat ons regtig nie 'n goeie nagrus gehad het nie! Verder was die kamer baie netjies en skoon, en die lugreëling het perfek gewerk in die warm weer!

Good day Annie. Thank you for your feedback. You will recall that you booked on 15th March at 11.30am using the LekkeSlaap website, for arrival on the same day. The introductory remarks on their website give you our full postal address in Kimberley. This is underlined as a pin drop and when you click on it, it takes you to maps and shows our exact location. You also received a booking confirmation email from LekkeSlaap when you confirmed the booking. You then sent us a WhatsApp at 16.07 saying your expected arrival was 7pm and requesting another pin drop. The beauty of WhatsApp Business is that it gives you a pin drop and link to maps on your phone. I’m very sorry to hear the bed creaked. We have recently changed the mattress and put felt pads between the wooden feet and the wood floor. One day I’m sure we will have to remove the wood floor and lay concrete, but that will be a shame. Again, we apologise. You were with us for two nights and I’m sorry you didn’t say something at the time so we could help. I’m glad the room was neat and tidy, and the air conditioning worked well. Best wishes.

Goeie dag Annie. Dankie vir jou terugvoering. Jy sal onthou dat jy op 15 Maart om 11:30 met die LekkeSlaap webwerf bespreek het vir aankoms op dieselfde dag. Die inleidende opmerkings op hul webwerf gee jou ons volledige posadres in Kimberley. Dit is onderstreep as 'n speld druppel en wanneer jy daarop klik, neem dit jou na kaarte en wys ons presiese ligging. Jy het ook 'n besprekingsbevestiging-e-pos van LekkeSlaap ontvang toe jy die bespreking bevestig het. Jy het toe vir ons 'n WhatsApp gestuur om 16.07 en gesê jou verwagte aankoms was 19:00 en versoek nog 'n speld drop. Die skoonheid van WhatsApp Business is dat dit jou 'n speld-druppel gee en skakel na kaarte op jou foon. Ek is baie jammer om te hoor die bed kraak. Ons het onlangs die matras verander en viltblokkies tussen die houtpote en die houtvloer gesit. Eendag is ek seker ons sal die houtvloer moet verwyder en beton moet lê, maar dit sal jammer wees. Weereens, ons vra om verskoning. Jy was twee nagte by ons en ek is jammer dat jy nie destyds iets gesê het sodat ons kon help nie. Ek is bly die kamer was netjies en netjies, en die lugversorging het goed gewerk. Beste wense.

I booked there as I wanted a B&B. However, my travel arrangements did not permit it. My stay was comfortable, and I will probably recommend it. There are, however, other less expensive options for the same quality.
