Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

We are sorry to hear that our Lylius Farm cottage is not what the guests expected. It is very sad to receive such a review, it is however important to note a few things here for our other guests or prospecting guests.
The cottage does not have a jacuzzi. It is a wood-fired hot tub as described on our listing. It is a 700 litres hot tub that requires approximately one crate of wood, available at the farm for R60, for initial heating, self-tested, which takes about 2 hours. From there on, keeping the tub at the same temperature would probably require half a crate every 2 hours. Some of our guests might choose not to make use of the hot tub during their stay.
We provide decent-sized dry Rooikrans on our farm. Should guests need to buy something else we do not recommend driving to Piketberg, which is about 80 km from our Farm, as there are several facilities selling wood within 35 km from the Farm including the closest farmstall 5 km, Clanwilliam 35 km, and Citrusdal 30 km.
The bedding fit the size of the beds provided in the cottage i.e. 1 queen-size bed and 2 three-quarter beds. Please note that guests should not bring bedding outside. As experienced with the guests writing this review, using the bedrooms blankets by the firepit thereby causes burnt damage to the blankets.
The cutlery, glasses, plates, and cups are regularly checked and replaced with standard hospitality quality items. It is requested that the guests do not take these items home.
Breakage does happen however, it is the responsibility of the guests to inform the owners. When glasses are broken inside the cottage or bedroom in this instance, we kindly request that you pick up the broken items and inform us about it.
The power equipment is regularly checked and any default is immediately repaired. We have not experienced either before or since the guests' review any problem with the cottages' electricity box or kettle and no other guests have complained about this. ESKOM loadshedding is unfortunately out of our control.
Finally, regarding eating out, De Klein Schurr is a beautiful local farmstall located 5 km from our farm and offers light meals. Velskoendraai, located in Clanwilliam, is an authentic Rooibos Route farmstall offering a wide variety of local products and delightful meals.

Dear Adriaan
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear that you were not happy with your stay at Lylius Cottage. In response to your comments:
-The cottage is advertised as a cosy and simple self catering getaway. Photos and videos are available online to display the size of the cottage and avoid false expectations. The couch is a convertible to allow for extra bed space where required. Sorry to hear you did not enjoy it and found it uncomfortable.
-Due to the small size of the bathroom we have placed the hooks for clothes and towels just outside the bathroom in the living room area. However we take note and will try to install hooks inside the bathroom for convenience.
-The garden irrigation does not go on during weekend, and we usually care that it is not switched on before 10 am during the week (check out time), we do apologise for this omission and inconvenience.
-Information on about the surrounding attractions, hiking trails, routes, or restaurants etc. are always provided to guests on request (usually guests send us message to ask for information or inform us of their arrival time), and this information is also displayed in the cottage on a poster in the living area thus available to all guests at all time during their stay.
- Not sure what "The rooibos farm on which the cottage is located, was not "open" or inviting to guests." : it is a working farm and not a resort thus there is no touristic/commercial activities. However we always try to accommodate requests from our guests and gladly offer tours or information on the rooibos farming activities when requested. Again, there was no communication from your side thus we cannot be blamed for not meeting your expectations.
- Finally, we do apologise about the patio tiles being slippery.
Thanks for lettings us know about the braai rooster however our guests usually prefer to use their own so were not made aware of this problem before.
Kind regards
Lydia

'n Goeie wegbreek van die stadsgedruis.
As jy die stad vir die platteland wil verlaat en geen mense vir myle wil sien nie, is dit die plek. Jy kan snags al die sterre sien en die wonderlikste voëlgeluide hoor.
