Kon beter gewees het indien die plekkie op standaard was.

Daar was geadverteer dat daar WiFi is, maar dit is slegs toeganklik aan die buitekant en by die voordeur. Geen opvangs in die sitkamer, kombuis of slaapkamers nie. Ons moes vir al 4 fone nog data koop. Dit was 'n onnodige uitgawe wat voorkom kon word indien die WiFi reg gewerk het. Ons het R600 gespandeer om vir al 4 fone data te koop. My vrou het navraag gedoen daaroor en kon vol sein kry binne-in die hoofhuis. Die messe in die kombuis was stomp. Indien ek steak moes braai en eet, sou ek nie my vleis kon sny nie. Dit was duidelik ou messe wat die vrou nie meer in haar eie huis kon of wou gebruik nie. Die mat onder die bed in die hoofslaapkamer was vuil en grillerig. Daar is 'n onvanpaste skildery van 'n kaal vrou in die plekkie. Ons was ongemaklik daarmee omdat ons nog kinders het met ouderdomme van 9 en 13 jaar. Die toilet in die tweede badkamer lek water en die vloer is permanent nat. Die beddegoed en kussings in die plek is ook baie oud. Dit is duidelik dat dit ou goed is wat die dame nie meer in haar eie huis wou gebruik nie. Die badkamermatjies is uitgewas en verbleik. Die TV's in die kamers het ook probleme. Een se beeld was swak en die ander se klank was swak. Dit gee die indruk dat dit ou goed is wat nie meer in die hoofhuis werk nie. My vrou het fotos en bewyse van alles en dit is beskikbaar op versoek.

Could have been better if the place was up to standard.

It was advertised that there is WiFi, but it is only accessible outside and at the front door. No catchment in the living room, kitchen or bedrooms. We still had to buy data for all 4 phones. It was an unnecessary expense that could have been avoided if the WiFi had worked properly. We spent R600 to buy data for all 4 phones. My wife inquired about it and was able to get full signal inside the main house. The knives in the kitchen were blunt. If I had to grill steak and eat it, I wouldn't be able to cut my meat. These were clearly old knives that the woman could no longer use in her own home. The carpet under the bed in the master bedroom was dirty and creepy. There is an inappropriate painting of a naked woman in the place. We were uncomfortable with that because we still have children aged 9 and 13. The toilet in the second bathroom leaks water and the floor is permanently wet. The bedding and pillows in the place are also very old. It is clear that these are old things that the lady no longer wanted to use in her own home. The bathroom mats were washed and bleached. The TVs in the rooms also have problems. One's image was poor and the other's sound was poor. It gives the impression that it is old stuff that no longer works in the main house. My wife has photos and evidence of everything and it is available on request.

Clean, delightful accommodation.

One of those rare places where you can park your car and not move it for three days. Everything is within walking distance. Great restaurants, interesting craft markets and a well-stocked Spar.

Wonderlike ligging. Netjies en genoegsame toebehore.

Tydens ons tyd daar was daar 2 dae reën en dus was dit baie moeilik om klere en handdoeke droog te maak. 'n Voorstel is om meer handdoeke te gee en ook 'n afdroograk binne die eenheid te plaas.

Wonderful location. Neat and sufficient accessories.

During our time there there were 2 days of rain and so it was very difficult to dry clothes and towels. A suggestion is to provide more towels and also place a drying rack inside the unit.

Rustigheid.

Ons gasvrou het "above and beyond" gegaan om ons tegemoet te kom met ons voertuie (motorfietse) om 'n veilige en rustige nag te verseker. Die huisie is lieflik ingerig, die 2 ekstra kamers het 3/4 beddens en ons moes maar styf teen mekaar slaap - maar in die winter was dit nie 'n probleem nie. Het 'n dubbelbed verwag in die ekstra kamers, maar was nie 'n deal-breaker nie. Loopafstand van Wilderness-hub. Lieflike plek. Dankie Liz!

Calmness.

Our hostess went "above and beyond" to meet us with our vehicles (motorcycles) to ensure a safe and peaceful night. The cottage is beautifully furnished, the 2 extra rooms have 3/4 beds and we had to sleep tightly against each other - but in the winter this was not a problem. Was expecting a double bed in the extra rooms but wasn't a deal breaker. Walking distance from Wilderness hub. Lovely place. Thanks Liz!

Had an awesome experience.

Coming from Johannesburg, I was not realy satisfied that my car needs to sleep outside next to the road. Nothing did happen but was scared that something might happen and as it was my only transportation, would ruin evething if something did occur. Other than that, we had an awesome experience.

Great.

Stapafstand van strand. Lekker uitgerigte plek. Vriendelike onvangs. Definitief moeite werd.
