Baie gasvry en aangenaam. Gasheer het baie moeite gedoen om vir ons 'n noodband van Oudtshoorn te kry.

Die gastehuis is sentraal geleë en stapafstand van die pragtige Prins Albert Hotel waar daar WiFi-dienste was en waar ons meeste van ons maaltye genuttig het. Ons gaan volgende keer weer daar bly.

Wonderlike gasvryheid van Esme en John, het amper gevoel of ek by familie gekuier het. Sal wel waardeer om vooraf te weet dat uitstaande balans kontant betaal moet word, maar kon darem EFT doen sonder enige probleme.

Ons was baie beïndruk met John en Esme se vriendelikheid, gasvryheid en hulpvaardigheid. Niks is vir hulle te veel moeite nie. Hulle behandel mens soos familie. Die kamer is heerlik ruim en skoon. Die oggend beskuit was ’n onverwagse klein bederfie.

Ek het heerlik gekuier, dankie!

Die kamer is heerlik ruim, skoon en netjies met al die nodige bykomstighede en dis duidelik elke dag skoongemaak, selfs op Kersdag. Esmé en John is pragtige, gasvrye mense met oop harte vir hulle gaste. Baie dankie vir die lekker geselsies. Die gastehuis self is pragtig met die blommetjies teen die mure en die tuin is heerlik koel en goed versorg, ten spyte van die droogte. Ek gaan beslis weer!

The guest house itself is beautiful with the flowers on the walls and the garden is wonderfully cool and well cared for, despite the drought. I will definitely go again!

Heerlik en rustig.

Met ons aankoms in Prins Albert was die dorp al 3 dae sonder krag. John en Esme het uit hul pad gegaan om dit vir ons so gerieflik te maak. Het heerlik saam onder die bome in die koelte gekuier. Het nuwe vriende gemaak - gaan verseker weer kuier.

Nie waarde vir geld nie.

Die plekkie is skoon, maar ruik bedompig en klam. Die vensters word duidelik nooit oopgemaak nie. Dit is heeltemal te duur. Ons het dieselfde prys betaal en Beacon Isle en nie naastenby dieselfde waarde gekry nie.

Ek het in die Karoo Groot Geword en die woorde "Klam en Benoud" is nie woorde wat in die Karoo gebruik word nie. Ons is jammer dat hulle nie 'n goeie ondervinding gehad het in Prins Albert. Ons prys van R 700.00 vir 2 groot mense 2 kinders - Glo ons ook nie is uit lyn uit nie.
Weereens Jammer vir julle ongerief.
