Mooi stone cottage, geen sekuriteit, musiek op volume van eienaars.

Die sekuriteit is n probleem — daar is geen gedurende die dag nie. In die aand word 'n "beam" aangesit, nie seker watter tyd en of dit effektief is nie. Basies kan enige iemand inloop in die erf in — geen heining. Die diefwering is baie swak. Dit beteken jy kan nie gedurende die dag gemaklik buite sit of die deur oophou nie. Vir 'n enkelreisiger is dit 'n probleem. Die 4/5 gradering op webwerf is misleidend. Ek sal tweemaal dink om hulle weer te glo, dit veroorsaak 'n swak indruk van die webtuiste se vermoë om sekuriteit te evalueer. Die eienaars speel hulle musiek op vol volume wat nie werk nie. Ek is seker as ek dit doen sal daar probleme wees. Opera 8 uur die oggend werk nie vir my nie (al hou ek van opera). Die parkering is moeilik om by in of uit te gaan. Hulle moet die ander mense beter beheer wat sleg parkeer en dit moeilker maak om uit te kom. Dan parkeer hulle die Fortruner reg voor die garage wat jy eers sien as jy om die draai kom, en dan moet jy nog beter bestuur. Nie 'n vakansiegevoel nie.

Nice stone cottage, no security, music on volume from owners.

The security is a problem - there is none during the day. In the evening a "beam" is put on, not sure what time and if it is effective. Basically anyone can walk into the yard — no fence. The anti-theft system is very weak. This means you cannot comfortably sit outside or keep the door open during the day. For a single traveler, this is a problem. The 4/5 rating on website is misleading. I would think twice about trusting them again, it gives a poor impression of the website's ability to evaluate security. The owners play their music at full volume which doesn't work. I'm sure if I do there will be problems. Opera at 8 o'clock in the morning doesn't work for me (even though I like opera). The parking is difficult to enter or exit. They need to better control the other people who park badly and make it harder to get out. Then they park the Fortruner right in front of the garage that you only see when you come around the corner, and then you have to drive even better. Not a holiday feeling.

Alle potensiële gaste sal dadelik sien Annelies se klaerige negatiewe oorsig steek soos 'n seer duim uit en verskil hemelsbreed van al die ander. Sy sien dit seker self ook. Ek waardeer en aanvaar wanneer gaste opbouende en regverdige kritiek lewer, maar in hierdie geval moet ek egter verdedigend reageer.
1. Met haar aankoms wou ons haar inlig aangaande die 'beams' maar sy het dit van die hand gewys en genoem dat sy weet hoe dit werk. Die 'beam' sisteem werk uitstekend en is baie veilig. Meeste gaste, selfs alleenreisigers, sit saans buite en geniet die sonsondergang. Die diefwering is ook splinternuut en baie stewig.
2. Ook met haar aankoms het ons haar 'n maklike parkering aangebied maar sy het dit ook van die hand gewys en gesê sy sal maklik kan parkeer. Die Fortuner is 'n groot wit voertuig, hoe kan sy dit nie raaksien nie? En daar was oorgenoeg spasie om gemaklik verby dit te ry. Ek vermoed sy het haar vererg aangaande die parkering situasie toe sy erg verward geraak het en agteruit in die blombedding bo-op die rotse beland het.
3. Ons kry dikwels groot groepe Italianers wat op die akkommodasie platform wat hulle gebruik merk dat my man 'n operasanger was en hulle wil dan tydens ontbyt na sy opnames luister, wat hulle geweldig geniet. Verskoon asb. maar dis hoekom hulle hier by Braeview bespreek en ons kannie die tradisie breek vir een klagte nie.
Groete, Erina de Jager

Quaint cottage that is comfortable.

The stay was very nice. It is a nice cottage to live in and very comfortable. The only downside was the travel through the township right next to it when you come in from the Cape Town side. But when you travel from the east, then it's okay. I would suggest a better route to get to the house. Otherwise, it is a beautiful property and easy to live in.

Beautiful homely atmosphere, good space for a family getaway.

The garden is idyllic. The house is not modern, but it has old world charm. The separate cottage is great for a bit of privacy. For a big family getaway the cottage is the perfect space for the couple with a small baby.

Disappointed.

We confirmed our arrival time telephonically. We arrived 10 minutes prior to that and the owners were not home. All good. But after another 20 minutes and no answer on either of their phones, we got a bit irritated, as we had a 4 hour drive before arriving. At long last they answered one phone and sounded surprised that we were there. They told us where the key was hidden. We never saw them. No apologies. It was a very cold night. The heaters don't work properly and there were not enough blankets. Would not go back again, even though it is a good location.

Braeview Guesthouse 's response

Yes, I remember this unfortunate incident with Christie and we can only offer our sincere apology albeit a bit late. We tried our best to be back home in time to welcome them but got stuck in traffic because of roadworks. And coincidentally there was no cellphone signal in the area of the roadworks. As soon as we got the signal back we noticed that they had called. Erina immediately called them and apologized a few times during the conversation. Her apologies were accepted and she then explained where the key could be found. Some guests want to check themselves in for Covid safety reasons, we therefore have a safety box on the wall for the key. They went out for supper and left before sunrise the next morning before we could apologise personally. Yes, it was a very cold night but there's nothing wrong with the heaters and there are more than enough extra blankets in all the rooms. Regarding the low scores for cleanliness, location and security, it is only human for guests that are upset about something to give the guest house low scores on all the other categories that have nothing to do with the reason of their unhappiness. Kind regards, Braeview management

Koud en beknop.

Op die webwerf het dit gesê plek is vir 4 volwassenes en die foto's het ruim gelyk. Toe ons die plek kry was dit 4 enkelbeddens (2 opmekaar en 2 langs mekaar). Anders as 'n backpackers, verwag mens nie dat 4 mense in 1 kamer slaap nie. Die enkelbeddens op mekaar was nie in die foto's nie. So dis valse advertising. Ons as klein gesin met 'n baba van 1 jaar oud het altyd 2 kamers nodig, so dit was 'n nagmerrie om die baba tot rus te kry en ons moes almal dadelik gaan slaap.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Cold and cramped.

On the website it said room for 4 adults and the pictures looked spacious. When we found the place it was 4 single beds (2 together and 2 next to each other). Unlike a backpackers, you don't expect 4 people to sleep in 1 room. The single beds on top of each other were not in the photos. So it's false advertising. As a small family with a 1 year old baby, we always need 2 rooms, so it was a nightmare to get the baby to rest and we all had to go to sleep immediately.
