'n Liefdevolle tuiste.

My man het 'n operasie ondergaan by JHB Surgical Hospital. Ek en my dogter het 'n veilige, skoon, vriendelike, stil, bekostigbare hawe daar naby gevind by 5th Avenue Gooseberry Guest House, en empatie op die koop gevind in die mense van die huis! Hulle plaas 'n groot premie op rustigheid met kennisgewings dat jy konsidererend moet wees en nie raas nie. Saterdagoggend speel die sagte musiek in die rustige sitkamer. Vir my was dit soos 'n tuiste.

A loving home.

My husband underwent surgery at JHB Surgical Hospital. My daughter and I found a safe, clean, friendly, quiet, affordable haven nearby at 5th Avenue Gooseberry Guest House, and found empathy in the people of the house! They place a high premium on tranquility with notices to be considerate and not to make noise. On Saturday morning, the soft music plays in the quiet living room. For me it was like a home.

Baie lekker gebly.

Alhoewel ons die Vrydagaand nie warm water gehad het nie, was die probleem die volgende oggend vroeg uitgesorteer. Verder het ons baie lekker gebly. Sal vir seker in die toekoms weer daar bly. Wat dit nog lekkerder gemaak het, was dat die gastehuis sommer lekker loopafstand van oulike koffiewinkels en eetplekkies was.

Very nice stay.

Although we didn't have hot water on Friday night, the problem was sorted early the next morning. Furthermore, we had a very nice stay. Will definitely stay there again in the future. What made it even nicer was that the guest house was within walking distance of cute coffee shops and eateries.

Netjies, skoon, vriendelike personeel.

Dit was lekker verblyf, kamer miskien bietjie kleiner as wat ek verwag het. Kamer en badkamer baie mooi skoon. Die hoofhuis baie gesellig, met lekker tuin en kuierplek buite. Personeel was baie vriendelik, en hulpvaardig. Ligging baie goed vir waar ons wou gaan.

Ek voel hul kan meer moeite doen met basiese gerieflikheid soos handdoeke en dat die stort ordentlik werk vir geld wat mens betaal, maar die diens en kos was baie goed.

5th Avenue Gooseberry Guest House is aangenaam met baie vriendelike diens op die perseel. Die ontbyt was baie lekker. Die tuine is baie mooi. Ek was ietwat teleurgesteld in die feit dat die fasiliteite nie heeltemal op standaard was vir die bedrag wat gevra is nie. Die handdoeke is baie klein en oud en die stort werk nie behoorlik nie met geen dreinering en mens moet rond spring om 'n druppel te vang. 'n Addissionele stoel vir hare/grimering ens. sou gaaf gewees het i.p.v. slegs 'n Wingback bank.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

I feel they could put more effort into basic amenities such as towels and that the shower works decently for the money you pay, but the service and food were very good.

5th Avenue Gooseberry Guest House is pleasant with very friendly service on site. The breakfast was very nice. The gardens are very beautiful. I was somewhat disappointed that the facilities were not quite up to standard for the amount charged. The towels are very small and old and the shower does not work properly with no drainage and you have to jump around to catch a drop. An additional chair for hair/make-up etc. would have been nice instead of only a Wingback bench.

Liewe Natasja,
Baie dankie, ons waardeer enige terugvoering en dankie vir die tyd wat jy opsy gesit het om dit te doen.
Elke gas kry 'n hand en normale grootte badhanddoek om te gebruik. Die stort het 'n nuwe stortkop reeds gehad - nie seker hoekom dit nie lekker gewerk het nie. En ja, daar was 'n probleem met die dreinering wat herstel is. Dit is baie waardevol vir ons as 'n gas sommer die oggend met ontbyt vir ons sou sê as daar enige iets was wat hulle verblyf beter kon maak. En sou 'n gas iets benodig in die aand is daar 'n na ure nommer vir die dame aan diens. Die stoel is 'n goeie voorstel.
Groete,
Susan Berry

It was just okay, not wow.

Firstly, they don't have DSTV which was a total let down as we have full bouquet at home. Also some of the channels on our TV had no sound. I then asked to be moved to another room, same story. The bed was very small and our backs were so painful in the morning as the mattress was as hard as a rock!

Dear guest,

We apologise if you were not able to access DStv channels. Unfortunately, if there is a problem with the channels, it will be an issue in every room. It was not possible to call out our supplier on a Saturday night, however, we really do our utmost to sort everything out if it is not working. The room that you have booked is as advertised fitted with a double bed. Perhaps you would have been more comfortable by booking a unit with a queen-size bed.
Take care and all of the best.

Vriendelike, professionele ontvangs met alles in plek in die kamer en ongelooflike ontbyt.

Kamer is ruim met genoeg pakplek. Kluis, gerieflike badkamer met skoon handdoeke mooi uitgestal, plus ekstra seep ens. elke dag. Bed groot en gerieflik met skoon linne. Tee/koffie en wat daarmee saamgaan beskikbaar asook klein yskas wat vir my van groot waarde was aangesien ek nie tee/koffie drink nie. TV met paar kanale - ongelukkig nie KykNet nie- maar het nie regtig gepla nie. Ontvang sleutels en afstandbeheer van hekke wat jou beweging onafhanklik maak. Ontbyt was regtig uitstaande! Gelukkig is die onsekerheid rondom die insluit/uitsluit van die ontbyt uiters professioneel opgelos. Het een dag langer gebly en die betaling rondom dit was bietjie problematies, maar was ook vinnig opgelos. Kritiek: Nie sleutel vir skuifdeur in kamer, gordyne in badkamer kan vervang word om beter te werk/lyk, gordyne voor die skuifdeur maak nie ordentlik toe nie en daar was dit regtig nie skoon nie - in die hoek - stof en spinnerakke.

Friendly, professional reception with everything in place in the room and an incredible breakfast.

Room is spacious with enough storage space. A safe for valuables, convenient bathroom with clean towels nicely displayed, plus extra soap etc. each day. Bed is big and comfortable with clean linen. Tea and coffee and what goes with it is available as well as a small fridge which was of value to me seeing as how I don't drink tea or coffee. TV has a few channels - unfortunately not KykNet - but that didn't really bother me. Receive keys and remote of gates that makes your coming and going independent. Breakfast was really exceptional! Luckily the unclearness of the inclusion or exclusion of breakfast was sorted out professionally. Stayed one day longer and payment regarding that was problematic but also solved quickly. Criticism: no key for sliding door in room, curtains in bathroom can be replaced to look/work better, curtains in front of the sliding door doesn't close properly and it wasn't very clean there - in the corner - dust and cobwebs.

My verblyf was heerlik as gevolg van die gasvrye personeel, kunstige dekor en mooi tuin.

Aankoms baie verwelkomend met jou naam op die kennisgewingbord. Ruim kamers en algeheel rustige atmosfeer maak hierdie gastehuis 'n puik keuse vir akkommodasie weg van die huis. Dekor is kunstig en dra by tot die unieke gevoel.

Lovely staff, very helpful and accommodating, beautiful and peaceful set up

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, Gerard was such a gentleman and so willing to help out wherever I needed. I felt very safe and enjoyed staying in the suburbs as it was peaceful. It was also a stones throw away from some hip and lovely little restaurants which was ideal for dinner. The decor and set out was very different but lovely none the less, I enjoyed it as it had a homely feel and found the designs added some fun to it. Would definitely recommend!
