Die omgewing is baie mooi.

Ons verstaan ons het op die nippertjie bespreek. Maar hulle was glad nie voorbereid op ons koms nie. Geen toiletpapier, geen toiletspray, geen handeseep of enige showergel nie. Geen stortmatjie. Stortkop was stukkend en het oor die kant uitgespuit oor die stortglasmuur. Kombuisgereedskap was baie min - 1 teelepel, geen dessertlepel, geen broodmes nie. Het ons nie verwittig dat loadshedding om 20h00 sou begin nie en dat hulle dan geen water ook sal hê nie. Water het nooit weer aangekom nie a.g.v. die pomp, en toe hulle dit die volgende oggend reggekry het, was die watertenk ook leeg. WiFi was aanvanklik nie beskikbaar nie, die router was in 'n ander kothuis, en toe later was die opvangs baie swak.

The environment is very beautiful.

We understand we booked at the last minute. But they were not at all prepared for our arrival. No toilet paper, no toilet spray, no hand soap or any shower gel. No shower mat. Shower head was broken and sprayed over the side over the shower glass wall. Kitchen utensils were very few - 1 teaspoon, no dessert spoon, no bread knife. Didn't they inform us that loadshedding would start at 20h00 and that they would then have no water either. Water never arrived again because the pump, and when they got it right the next morning, the water tank was empty too. WiFi was not available at first, the router was in another cottage, and then later the reception was very poor.

Disappointing due to the fact that there was no water and TV (no channels).

Highly disappointed in the fact that when we arrived there was no water to take a shower and get ready. I especially left home early to get ready at the venue. The next morning when we woke up, can you believe no water to shower again and the TV did not connect to any channels. We left the guesthouse at 7am due to this. What a waste of money and time.

Dear Lerisha,
I'd like to address your issues with our water supply during load shedding. While I understand its impact, it's crucial to use water responsibly.
Unfortunately, multiple taps and the shower were left open by yourself, resulting in flooding and financial damage to our newly renovated cottage. Plus flooding the neighbouring guests resulting in spoiling their experience and once again financial damage.
I do realize that your earlier departure may have been influenced by that.
Also, regarding the TV, it did work prior your check-in and after your check-out, we specifically checked it. It’s Open View.
Best regards,
Anastasia

The location was close to where we wanted to be.

As a self-catering accommodation, you would expect there to be a minimum in the kitchen to self-cater. There was one coffee mug and 2 tea cups. There was only a very small pot, I had to ask for a frying pan which I was provided on request. There was no chopping board or sharp knife for cutting. We were not informed that they have no running water during loadshedding would have been nice to know as the toilets did not work during load shedding. Although all surfaces were clean and the linen was fresh, the apartment had cobwebs making you think it's not cleaned regularly. Otherwise, it's peaceful and the hosts were very accommodating letting our friends check in early the next morning.

Mooi uitsig, maar nie ideale ligging.

2 uit die 4 oggende nie water gehad, alarms lui knaend die hele nag. Ons het voor die tyd bevestig dat ons 2 tieners saamneem en daar was slegs een ekstra dubbelbedmatras op die vloer in sitkamer, geen beddens vir kinders alhoewel dit as family cottage geadverteer word. Nie 'n maklik bereikbare ligging indien jy moet heen en weer beweeg vanuit Paarl. Moeilik om eerste keer die hek te bereik, nie duidelike borde.

Nice view, but not ideal location.

2 out of the 4 mornings no water, alarms ringing all night. We confirmed ahead of time that we were taking 2 teenagers with us and there was only one extra double bed mattress on the floor in the living room, no beds for children even though it is advertised as a family cottage. Not an easily accessible location if you need to move back and forth from Paarl. Difficult to reach the gate first time, not clear signs.

Ons baie jammer u het nie beste ervaring op ons Plaas gehad nie. Die water pomp en alarm was ongelukig a.g.v loadshedding wat die hele nasie pla op die oomblik. Dit se op al ons booking sights dat die family cottage 'n oopslaan bank en of matras het. Met een groot kammer en ekstra groot bed. Ons hoop on volgende keer vir u n beter ervaaring kan aanbied.

Not very nice.

Alarm went off the whole evening and had to open for workers the gate all the time. So disappointed and had to spend more money so that 8 adults had each their own privacy and not very clean with a smell that the units were closed for months.

Family with young children

Great location, not a comfortable stay.

The Kleinvallei family cottage was a large 1 bedroom cottage where really young kids can be accommodated if still in camp cots. There was no hot water upon arrival but this resolved the following evening. Also the braais that were given had holes in it but we still managed to braai. No black bags (rubbish from previous guests were left behind in the outside dustbin) and only 1 toilet roll was provided (but clean towels and soaps were provided) so this is a fully self-catering unit. The alarm went off by mistake but no armed response showed up but we felt reasonably safe in any case as the location was very isolated.

It was cheap. But the owner was rude.

The fridge was broken, it did not work and there were no shelves in it. The entry gate does not work when there is a power outage, so you have to go through the main farm access road which is a problem but the great problem is that if you are out or want to go out, and there is a power outage, you can't. The day we left we let the owner know we wanted to leave at 6am. The power was out and the gate was not working. In the end we had to lift the gate out of its tracks and open it so we could leave and then put it back. The owner didn't make any effort to accommodate us, when she had been advised the day before and then loadshedding schedule was known. There was a bedside lamp, just one, it was ok. But there were no power points available as they were all taken up by the security system and there were wanring not to unplug them. We could have stayed in a nice place in Franschhoek for the same price. But all the owner could say when I told her the review on the website would not be good, is that she hoped we enjoyed the discount. I don't think it's much to ask that the gate works, a fridge in self-catering works and a bedside lamp has a power point. And if they want to offer a discount, well that's fine. I would have rather paid more for a facility that actually worked! Needless to say we will not go back.

Heerlik gekuier in die pragtige, skoon, goed toegeruste Familie Huisie.

'n Pragtige plek tussen die bome. Ons het baie lekker gekuier en gerus. Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur Anastasia en haar pragtige honde. Die huisie is goed toegerus met hout vir braai of vir die kaggel in die huisie. Ons kon elke dag ver stap tussen die olyf bome en wingerd. Die Lazy Boy voor die TV (Netflix) op 'n reënerige aand wag 'n wenner.

Had a great time in the beautiful, clean, well-equipped Family House.

A beautiful place among the trees. We had a great time and rested. We were kindly received by Anastasia and her beautiful dogs. The cottage is well equipped with wood for braai or for the fireplace in the cottage. Every day we could walk far between the olive trees and vineyard. The Lazy Boy in front of the TV (Netflix) on a rainy night awaits a winner.

Beautifully peaceful.

The views are breathtaking. Very quiet and peaceful. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Very clean and cosy. My husband and 5 year old son loved it. The braai pit made his stay and little guy was running around the whole farm. The indoor fire place kept us nice and warm on the stormy 26th December. We didn't see any hammocks as seen in the pictures and the pool was out of use. Overall we had an amazing time at Calais for Christmas. We did not want to leave at all. A big thank you to Reuben for assisting us with directions and the dogs on the farm were really cute.

Dit was salig.

Die chalet was netjies, skoon en heerlik ruim. Die portable braai klein, maar het nie meer nodig nie. Melt was baie gasvry en bedagsaam. Die honde is oulik, veral Bakkies. Voorstel sou wees om wit- en rooiwyn van die landgoed met pryse in chalet te los, sodat die persoon wat die wyn wou proe, 'n bottel of twee kan koop. En miskien 'n pryslys van ander wyne.

It was blissful.

The chalet was neat, clean and wonderfully spacious. The portable grill is small, but no longer needed. Melt was very hospitable and considerate. The dogs are cute, especially Bakkies. Suggestion would be to leave white and red wine from the estate with prices in chalet, so that the person who wanted to taste the wine could buy a bottle or two. And maybe a price list of other wines.

Only positives: the mattress is comfortable and linen clean.

Not located on a working wine farm at all, but on a small holding. Cobwebs and dust everywhere. One house smells strongly of old cigarette smoke. Too many dogs and their waste on the lawn.

Gerieflik, maar teleurstellend. Geen ooreenkoms met reklame.

Verblyf was gerieflik en goed toegerus, alhoewel nie 100% skoon nie. Die plaasbestuurder was uiters hulpvaardig en het ons na middernag vriendelik ontvang. Die reklame wys 'n pragtige wynlandgoed en die landgoed se wyne word in die cottages geadverteer, maar die kantoor is toe en die nommers op die hek word nooit geantwoord nie. Ons het toegang gehad slegs rondom die cottages, aangesien daar oral heinings en hekke is. UItkykpunt oor dam is afgesper en ons kon nie daarby uitkom nie. Selfs uitboek was 'n irritasie aangesien ons die nommer verskeie kere moes bel voordat die hekke uiteindelik oopgemaak is sodat ons die sleutels en afstandbeheer kon ingee.

Convenient, but disappointing. No agreement with advertising.

Accommodation was comfortable and well equipped, although not 100% clean. The farm manager was extremely helpful and received us kindly after midnight. The advertisement shows a beautiful wine estate and the estate's wines are advertised in the cottages, but the office is closed and the numbers on the gate are never answered. We had access only around the cottages, as there are fences and gates everywhere. Lookout over dam was blocked off and we couldn't get to it. Even checking out was an annoyance as we had to call the number several times before the gates were finally opened for us to hand in the keys and remote control.

Dit was 'n baie koue naweek in die Paarl. Reen en sneeu. Die beddegoed was nie voldoende vir die koue weer nie. Die tieners het op 'n uitskop bed geslaap en slegs dun dekens was beskikbaar. Die kombuis benodig meer kombuisware. Andersins baie mooi. Werknemers is baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik.

Nice views from the cottage.

It was a very cold weekend in Paarl. Rain and snow. The bedding was not adequate for the cold weather. The teenagers slept on a kick-out bed and only thin blankets were available. The kitchen needs more kitchenware. Otherwise very nice. Employees are very helpful and friendly.

Het nie ten volle aan my verwagting voldoen nie.

Oulike huisies met goeie kwaliteit toerusting. Het in gesinseenheid gebly. Breekware is onvolledig en karig. Wynglase ook te min vir so 'n oulike wynplaas. Die kombuis was nie baie skoon nie - oond en oondbakke kort ordentlike skoonmaak. Muurproppe het kortsluitings gemaak. Die veiligheidshek kon glad nie sluit nie. Die bed in die sitkamer is te klein vir 2 tienerseuns. Andersins is dit 'n plek van rustigheid en pragtige tuin en olyfbome.

Did not fully meet my expectation.

Cute houses with good quality equipment. Stayed in family unit. Crackware is incomplete and sparse. Wine glasses too few for such a cute wine farm. The kitchen was not very clean - oven and baking trays need a decent cleaning. Wall plugs shorted out. The security gate could not close at all. The bed in the living room is too small for 2 teenage boys. Otherwise it is a place of tranquility and beautiful garden and olive trees.

Ongelooflik vriendelik en gasvry.

Dit was 'n wonderlike ervaring en kon nie anders gewees het met die personeel se vriendelikheid. Hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak.

Nice, relaxed and quiet location.

Nice, relaxed and quiet location. No entertainment. The house was very clean and all equipment was available. We even had a washing machine. The strict security made us have to stay at the location (self catering) for dinner. We did not feel comfortable being outside after 22:00 with the 2 big dogs walking around for security purposes.

Baie vriendelike en behulpsame ontvangs en deurlopend, Dankie Melt en gesin, jul het dit vir ons baie lekker en ontspanne gemaak.

A.g.v. waterbeperkings in die Paarl was dit bietjie droog op die plaas, maar dit is buite beheer van die eienaars, verder het ons geen klagtes nie, pragtige plek en baie lekker gekuier.

Very friendly and helpful reception throughout. Thanks Melt and family, you made our time nice and relaxing.

As a result of the water restrictions in Paarl the farm was a bit arid, but the owners aren't in control of the weather, otherwise no complaints, beautiful place, had a great time.

Ons het net gegaan om die konsert te gaan kyk en een aand oorgeslaap. Daarvoor was die verblyf puik.

Dis netjies, skoon en alles werk en Melt was baie behulpsaam. Die eenheid word bemark vir 4 mense, maar 2 moet in die sitkamer slaap op afslaan-sitkamerbanke. Veral die een is meer soos 'n besigheidsklas-stoel op 'n vliegtuig wat nie heeltemal plat afslaan nie. 'n Volwassene sal baie ongemaklik daarop slaap. Weet nie hoekom hulle nie net 'n behoorlike slaapbank daar kan sit nie.

We merely went there to watch a concert and spent one night. The accommodation was perfect for our purpose.

Neat, clean and everything works. Melt was very helpful. The unit is marketed as a 4-sleeper, but 2 has to sleep in the lounge on fold down couches. The one especially felt more like a business class seat on a plane that doesn't fold down properly, quite uncomfortable for an adult. Don't know why they can't just replace it with a decent sleeper couch.
