Fortunately it was only one night, and we could bear the discomfort.

It's a beautiful place. But the linen is very old. There wasn't a kettle or cleaning stuff in the kitchen. Bath was full of hair and kitchenware was full of dust. If some attention is given we will definitely go back again. The gardens are amazing.

Baie goed geleë, netjies en skoon. Goed vir net oornag.

Stil, ten spyte van die ligging. Keurig maar bietjie verwaarloos. Die selfsorg-eenheid se toerusting is nie goed nie.

Very well located, neat and clean. Good for overnight only.

Quiet, despite the location. Neat but a little neglected. The self-care unit's equipment is not good.

Rustig en vredevol.

Ek het my verblyf baie geniet. My kamer was ruim en gemaklik. Ontbyt was heerlik, en die mees aangename verrassing was Busi. Wat 'n lieflike persoon. Ek sal vir seker weer hier kan bly.

Smaller detail as expected from guest house can be paid attention to such as kettle in room.

No kettle in room as well as decent coffee mugs.

Uitstekend!

Birdwood het ons regtig verras! Dis 'n pragtige plek, ruim en smaakvol. Ons het net 'n oornagplek gesoek, toe kry ons 'n juweel en was spyt ons kon nie langer bly nie. Santie het ons persoonlik ontvang en afgesien, na 'n lekker geselsie. Die enigste probleem is die ligging. Arcadia was altyd 'n spogwoonbuurt, maar dit is nie meer nie. Daar is wel sekuriteit met 'n wag 24 uur op die perseel.

Outstanding!

Birdwood really surprised us! It's a beautiful place, spacious and tasteful. We were just looking for a place to stay, then we found a gem and were sorry we couldn't stay longer. Santie received us personally and saw us off, after a nice chat. The only problem is the location. Arcadia used to be a posh neighborhood, but it's not anymore. There is security with a guard 24 hours on the premises.

Nice but no privacy.

We booked a self-catering unit with no pots and pans. There is aircon but no remotes. We have to ask for the W-iFi password.

Ons wou omdraai, maar het reeds die volle bedrag betaal.

Die plek lyk glad nie soos die foto’s nie! Die webblad moet dringend opgradeer word, want die plek is vervalle.

We wanted to turn around, but already paid the full amount.

The place doesn't look like the photos at all! The web page needs to be updated urgently because the place is run down.

Heerlik, skoon, rustig.

Birdwood was presies wat ons nodig gehad het om te oornag. Die pragtige tuin skep 'n rustigheid.

Ongemaklik en teleurstellend.

Dit is glad nie 'n 5-ster-akkommodasie nie. Eerste indruk was om om te draai. Die onderhoud word nie gedoen nie. Krane is los en die badkamers is gemuf! Beddegoed en handdoeke is oud en afgeleef. Matras uiters swak toestand. Baie stof, onaangename ondervinding. Niks lyk soos op foto nie. Ontvangs was redelik vriendelik en is eintlik hartseer dat 'n dame van 82 nog kans sien om in die bedryf te werk. Sy was baie tegemoetkomend gewees. Om R810 per nag te betaal sal ek niemand aanbeveel om daar te slaap nie. Ons het nie veilig gevoel nie. Selfs in die area voel mens nie veilig nie, maar dit is die geval in baie plekke in Suid-Afrika.

Awkward and disappointing.

This is not a 5 star accommodation at all. First impression was to turn around. The interview is not done. Faucets are loose and the bathrooms are moldy! Bedding and towels are old and shabby. Mattress extremely poor condition. Lots of dust, unpleasant experience. Nothing looks like the picture. Reception was quite friendly and it's actually sad that an 82-year-old lady still sees a chance to work in the industry. She had been very accommodating. To pay R810 per night I would not recommend anyone to sleep there. We did not feel safe. Even in the area one does not feel safe, but this is the case in many places in South Africa.

Hi Wilna,

Ons is baie jammer dat jy so n slegte ondervinding gehad het.
Ons kan ongelukkig nie amal gelukkig maak nie en het baie gaste wat net goeie ervarings by ons gehad het.
Ons sal wel bietjie ondersoek doen in die kamer waarin jy gebly sodat geen gas so n ervaring met ons sal he nie.

Dankie.
