Met een woord - puik.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en het die opsie gehad om The Loft te gebruik, aangesien dit beskikbaar was. Dit was 'n goeie ruil. Die geriewe is skoon en netjies en die uitsig vanaf die balkon uitstaande. Ronelle en Stephan het 'n heerlike ontbyt bedien en goeie advies vir ons tyd in die omgewing gegee. Ronelle was ook besonder behulpsaam om 'n bril wat agtergebly het aan ons terug te besorg.

In one word - great.

We were very kindly received and had the option of using The Loft as it was available. It was a good exchange. The facilities are clean and tidy and the view from the balcony outstanding. Ronelle and Stephan served a delicious breakfast and gave good advice for our time in the area. Ronelle was also particularly helpful in returning a pair of glasses that had been left behind to us.

Besonders.

So 'n rustige plek. Dié dat ons 'n entjie uit die dorp was, was idillies. Die natuurtonele was besonders en ons het selfs 'n visarend hoor roep. Ronelle en Stefan was so vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die akkommodasie was netjies en skoon. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Especially.

Such a peaceful place. The fact that we were a little way out of town was idyllic. The nature scenes were exceptional and we even heard an osprey calling. Ronelle and Stefan were so friendly and helpful. The accommodation was neat and clean. We had a very nice stay.

Dit was vir ons 'n groot plesier om julle in Upper Room te akkommodeer! Die pakkie is amper oppad. Sien julle 'n volgende keer.

Mooi ligging met verskeie fasiliteit tekorte.

Ons het 'n week spandeer by Beside Stil Water en het met hoë verwagtinge daar aangekom. Ons was hartlik verwelkom deur die eienaars waarna ons toegang verkry het na ons blyplek. Die kamers, badkamers en vertrekke is baie klein weens die feit dat dit op 'n solder in 'n huis is. Daar is beperkte vensters en 'n tekort aan ventilasie. Met 'n enkele aircon wat slegs 'n gedeelte van die huis diens is dit 'n onbegonne taak om die huis leefbaar af te koel. Daar is ook waaiers, maar die eienaars het die waaier en aircon deurlopend afgeskakel. Daar is herhaalde kere toegang tot die eiendom gemaak sonder 'n kenbare rede wat inbreuk gemaak het op ons gevoel van privaatheid. Daar is geen TV in die blyplek nie. Die voëllewe en natuurskoon is wel uit die boonste rakke. Alhoewel die huis goed toegerus is en 'n mooi ligging in 'n stil deel van Wilderness het sal ons dit nie aan beveel vir groter groepe of gesinne nie. Miskien sou die ervaring anders wees in 'n koeler klimaat en onder ander omstandighede.

Nice location with several facility shortages.

We spent a week at Beside Stil Water and arrived with high expectations. We were warmly welcomed by the owners after which we gained access to our accommodation. The rooms, bathrooms and rooms are very small due to the fact that it is in an attic in a house. There are limited windows and a lack of ventilation. With a single aircon that only serves a portion of the house, it is a daunting task to cool the house liveably. There are also fans, but the owners have switched off the fan and aircon continuously. The property was repeatedly entered for no apparent reason which invaded our sense of privacy. There is no TV in the accommodation. The bird life and scenery are top notch. Although the house is well equipped and has a nice location in a quiet part of Wilderness we would not recommend it for larger groups or families. Perhaps the experience would be different in a cooler climate and under different circumstances.

Beside Still Waters 's response

Eerstens, die eenheid was bespreek vir 6 mense en daar het 6 + 1 baba ongeveer 1 jaar oud? ingeboek. Die Upper Room is 'n 'kompakte' eenheid en is toegerus met 'n meer as voeldoende (overspecced) lugreeling, spesefiek inaggeneem die warmer somermaande. Ons versoek baie duidelik in die inligtings boek dat die lugreeling afgeskakel word wanneer daar vir die dag uitgegaan word, ons het twee keer dit gaan afskakel om elektrisiteit te bespaar en daarna dit laat vaar. Geen eenheid by Beside Still Waters is met TV's toegerus nie (verskoning indien daar onduidelikheid was).
Tweedens, ons glo dat die fasiliteit 'tekorte' is oorskadu deur die positiewe punte en die baie mooi omgewing!

Hier kan 'n mens bly en bly! Hartlike mense en so mooi plekkie, uitgelê om gemak te kan geniet! Een nag is heeltemal te min.

Ons was bietjie teleurgesteld in die verblyf.

Ons het met ons tienerseun gereis en 4 aande by Beside Still Waters gebly. Eerstens, daar was hout wat onder die kothuis gelê het, en dit was erg koud en reënerig die aand, my seun het van die hout opgetel en langs die kaggel in die sitkamer gesit om later vuur te maak. Ons het dorp toe gegaan om kruideniersware te koop, later teruggekom en die hout was weg en daar is toe skielik 'n papier geplak wat sê die hout is te koop, my gevoel is die eienaar kon net met ons kom praat het, en nie net ingekom het en die hout kom vat het nie. Dit het vir 3 dae aanmekaar gereën, ons handdoeke het nie droog geword nie, en daar is nie eens 1 maal aangebied om die handdoeke vir ons te ruil nie. Ons het 3 aande gebraai, en die braaier is net 1 keer skoon gemaak. Ek verstaan skoonmaakdiens was opsioneel, maar klein goedjies soos dit maak 'n verskil. Van die skottelgoed in die kaste was vuil en daar was ook miere in die kaste. Al die basiese benodighede was daar, en die kombuis was goed toegerus.

We were a little disappointed in the accommodation.

We traveled with our teenage son and stayed at Beside Still Waters for 4 nights. First, there was wood lying under the cottage, and it was very cold and rainy that evening, my son picked up some of the wood and put it next to the fireplace in the living room to make a fire later. We went to town to buy groceries, came back later and the wood was gone and suddenly a paper was pasted saying the wood was for sale, I feel the owner could have just come to talk to us, and not only came in and took the wood. It rained for 3 days in a row, our towels did not dry, and not even 1 time was offered to change the towels for us. We grilled 3 nights, and the grill was only cleaned once. I understand cleaning service was optional, but little things like that make a difference. Some of the dishes in the cupboards were dirty and there were also ants in the cupboards. All the basic necessities were there, and the kitchen was well equipped.

Beside Still Waters 's response

Ons is jammer dat dit jul ervaring was en ons is van mening dat jul ontevredenheid grootliks toe te skryf is aan gebrekkige kommunikasie. Die inligtings blad in ons self sorg eenhede is voldoende beskrywend. Ons was op die perseel die hele tydperk van jul verblyf, maar was nie bewus van jul ongerief nie. Dankie vir jul terugvoering.
