I had a wonderful stay, thank you very much.
The guest house in Paarl where I have stayed for the past 16 years has changed hands. I decided to try another guest house (Auberge de Courtrai) and I was not disappointed at all. Just a shame I didn't discover this earlier!

Geagte Rheeder/Partner,
Ek het regtig my bes gedoen om jou so welkom as moontlik te laat voel, soos vir al my ander gaste. Ek het selfs jou wasgoed gedoen (in die aand). Jy het uitgestap, skaars gegroet sonder om te betaal daarvoor en nie eens dankie gesê nie. Tydens jou verblyf van 2 dae was daar 2 ure 'loadshedding'. Behalwe vir die 'aircon', het alles gewerk, insluitende WiFi, DSTV ens. Ons fasiliteite hier is die beste vir die prys wat jy betaal vir akkommodasie (dubbel kamer met splinternuwe bed en 75cm TV) wat uitloop op 'n dek wat pas heeltemal oorgedoen is met 'n lieflike uitsig oor die berge en 'n 14 meter lank helderblou swembad, alles vir R1100.00 – 15% - BTW.
Vriendelike groete,

Sleepless, claustrophobic.

Dear Misha,
Brand new bed - first guest sleeping in it. I was assured it was the very best of the best mattresses. The room’s sliding door leads to the garden with a 14-meter length lovely blue pool. That is all I can say. We always try our very best for our guests at all times. Best regards.

Wonderful.
The most picturesque guest house I have visited so far. Couldn't take enough pictures. Great escape and nicely tucked away. The surrounding silence was sweetly accompanied by the wind playing with the palm trees and the rest of the greenery around. A friend mentioned after I showed him one of the videos I made, that it could easily be a Caribbean island. So my stay was very nice. Will definitely return.

Inconvenient
It's a nice place but the bedding was full of dirty stains. The staff are very friendly but have no idea what is going on there. The family room is unsuitable for small children as it is not on ground level and there is only an outside staircase to use. The pool is very dirty and the pump out of order with the result that a person cannot see the bottom. Gardeners walk into the pool area all the time and get the feeling that you are being watched.

Dear Kristin,
I am very glad your bed was nice and you slept well for the one night you spent at the guesthouse
My rates are very good for a 4**** guesthouse.
As for the pool, due to Municipality rules we are bound to cover our pools in Paarl unfortunately
The facility to braai is available. if we arrange for everything to be ready for you after hours ( like it was late when you requested it, after the staff has left, we charge R200.00 as I can't expect them to do it for free). I asked you if you had equipment to braai and you said no
Afterwards you didn`t use the braai area to put up your own braai but used my balcony which is not allowed due to the risk of fire. We didn`t complain.
Nobody ever complains about the W-Fi.
Kind regards,
Zettie Coetzee

Auberge de Courtrai had certainly been a good choice. The staff overflows with friendliness and hospitality. The over-the-top splendor of Auberge de Courtrai parallels that of Paarl. Aunt Zettie was even kind enough to treat us to free breakfast! It truly felt like a second home and I would definitely stop by again. Thank you again for a wonderful weekend!

Ek is baie bly julle het lekker gebly by my.
Dit doen my hart goed, want ek en my personeel poog altyd om ons gaste te laat tuis voel.
'n Mens weet egter nie of jy die regte ding doen tensy gaste soos jy die tyd neem om 'n resensie te gee nie.
Baie dankie ook vir die goeie gradering.
Ons hoop om julle eendag weer te kan verwelkom by Auberge de Courtrai.

Disrespected my booking and has no business honour.

Dear Phindile,
I am sorry to get this back from you. We are very, very sorry after all the trouble I took to make your stay enjoyable. I made a mistake and apologised which didn`t give you a family room but after I arranged a room I was pretty sure you were quite happy with it. This room is not much smaller than my family rooms with the same amount of privacy.
I charged you for a double room and not for a family room subtracting the commission of TravelGround as well to your advantage and my side of the bill to you was R 275.00 (This was for a double room not a family room ) A double room (King-size bed and 1 single bed). The full breakfast for the third person also was for free. I offered a week-end stay for free and you replied you are not coming this way at all so it won`t help soothing you.
If you want 1 night free of charge whenever, you are still welcome to it. You had a boisterous departure telling all your stories of how you enjoyed your stay in Paarl. Then you forgot you didn`t arrange for a taxi.
I phoned all over Paarl and couldn`t get one for you. I offered to take you to the airport myself as you only had 40 minutes left to be there for your flight. I charged you but it was a friendly gesture on my side as well as I have very limited Sundays to spend with my family or go to church.
I did it with the greatest of pleasure to help, including your 3 lovely girls away on a night out joking and talking and "skindering" with me, you felt like my family.
Kind regards,
Zettie Coetzee
