The kitchen is a bit small and dish washing uncomfortable, but otherwise it is a great place to stay.

Lovely place to stay. Close to beach.

Lovely stay.

Cool place, not enough inside secure parking, otherwise no complaints.

Very friendly and helpful ladies - they quickly sorted out the problem with the internet and were always available for advice and assistance.

The rooms may not be as big as they look on the picture; for us it was enough, but with children it would have been very small. The unit is self-catering and the equipment is good and neat. Just look at the place to eat your food, the two bar stools are really two torture prongs and we avoided them as far we could. Seating at the counter is very limited. On the veranda is a miniature table and two chairs. Two people can't put their plates on the table together. Maybe they can replace the miniature tables with more appropriate tables. Each room has ...

The rooms may not be as big as they look on the picture; for us it was enough, but with children it would have been very small. The unit is self-catering and the equipment is good and neat. Just look at the place to eat your food, the two bar stools are really two torture prongs and we avoided them as far we could. Seating at the counter is very limited. On the veranda is a miniature table and two chairs. Two people can't put their plates on the table together. Maybe they can replace the miniature tables with more appropriate tables. Each room has a micro-braai - one cannot be heightened; we could braai, but for the price one would expect something more. Visitors may have to think about bringing their own inventory - the local Spar prices are excessive - we don't even pay so much tax in the Free State countryside! For the price they sell wine at, I can buy almost two wine farms. There aren't really eating places where one can eat in the evening. In spite of everything, we had a nice stay.

Baie vriendelike en behulpsame dames - hulle het die probleem met die internet gou uitgesorteer en was altyd beskikbaar vir raad en bystand.

Die vertrekke is dalk nie so groot as wat dit op die foto lyk nie; vir ons twee was dit voldoende, maar met kinders sou dit baie beknop gewees het. Die eenheid is selfsorg en die toerusting daarvoor is goed en netjies. Kyk dalk net na die plek om jou kos te eet, die twee kroegstoele is werklik martelpype en ons het hulle so ver ons kan vermy. Sitplek by die toonbank is baie beperk. Op die stoep is 'n miniatuur tafel en twee stoele. Twee mense kan nie hulle borde saam op die tafel sit nie. Dalk kan hulle die miniatuurtafels met meer gepaste tafels ...

Dalk kan hulle die miniatuurtafels met meer gepaste tafels vervang. Elke kamer het 'n mikrobraai - mens kan nie die hoogte stel nie; ons kon darem braai, maar vir die prys sou mens iets meer verwag. Besoekers moet dalk daaroor dink om hulle eie voorraad saam te bring - die plaaslike Spar se pryse is buitensporig - ons betaal nie eers soveel invoerbelasting in die Vrystaatse platteland nie! Vir die prys waarvoor hulle wyn verkoop, kan ek amper twee wynplase koop. Daar is ook nie werklik eetplekke waar mens in die aand iets kan eet nie. Ten spyte van alles het ons tog lekker gebly.

Comfortable and beautiful.

The guesthouse is situated in a very beautiful area and the sound of the sea is fantastic.

Gemaklik en mooi.

Die gaste huis is in 'n baie mooi area geleë en die geluid van die see is fantasies.

Excellent accommodation!

Loved staying at the Crowned Crane! Very clean, great service, ALL the staff were fantastic! The kids loved the garden area.where they played and it is very close to all the "important" facilities in Gonubie. Will definitely book here again.

Thank you Vicky.

It's not upmarket but it meets a one or two nights requirements.

I have no complaints except that one could lose out on secure parking.

Ian H

Great accommodation. Clean, quiet and very well priced.

Well situated, quiet, clean and good value for money. Everything worked as it should. Was safe and well situated, close to the beach and places to eat.

Vriendelike diens, netjies, gerieflik.

Ek is baie vriendelik ontvang en my kamer was baie mooi netjies en skoon. Die kamer is goed toegerus met als wat ek nodig gehad het. Al wat negatief was, is dat die kamer nie 'n en suite-badkamer gehad het nie - die badkamer is oorkant die gang. Dankie Crowned Crane!

Shani's Response

Dear Corli,

It was lovely having you here. Thank you for your nice words. Next time you visit, please inquire about our other rooms, as you were in the budget room with its big private bathroom, the only room without an en-suite.

Baie lekker gebly, baie skoon en netjies.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Al waaroor ons bekommerd was die eerste aand was die feit dat ons kar buite die hek moes slaap en my man het elke nou en dan deur die nag opgestaan om seker te maak dit is nog daar. Die tweede aand kon ons darem binne parkeer en kon ons rustig slaap. Ongelukkig is die binne parkering op 'n "first come" sisteem so as jy uitgaan en bietjie laat terugkom, bly jou kar buite.

Günter Z
With spouse/partner

Mens voel dadelik tuis en welkom.

Ons sal definitief weer terugkom. Dit was 'n paar wonderlike dae en ons kan Crowned Crane net aanbeveel. Shani en Jennifer is twee wonderlike mense en laat 'n mens somer tuis voel.

Jan K
With spouse/partner

Lekker, maar jy kyk vas in die agterkant van die hoofgebou.

Daar is nie fout met die verblyf nie, maar ek sou verkies om die see te sien in die aand wanneer jy buite sit. Die gaste langs ons se motor se agterruit is die vorige aand uitgeslaan en alles in die motor is gesteel.

Eileen A
Individual traveler

Lekker!

Ek het lekker gebly in Crowned Crane, maar in vergelyking met ander plekke is daar nie regtig waarde vir geld nie. Ek was in die enkelkamer met 'n badkamer oorkant die gang. Ek was nie gelukkig toe ek terugkeer en sien my kamerdeur staan oop nie. Die skoonmakers het mooi skoongemaak, maar nie my kamer weer gesluit nie. En die kamer is reg langsaan die kantoor, so dit is baie bedrywig daar.

Elmie V

Netjies en alles in selfsorg-eenheid wat nodig was.

Baie geniet. Netjiese selfsorg-eenheid. Ons was 2 grootouers, 2 kinders met 2 jong kleintjies. Heeltemal tevrede. Moes wel lank wag by ontvangs om oop te maak by voordeur om 'n gloeilamp te kry vir 1 vertrek. Bediendes baie vriendelik.

Sue D

Uiters aangenaam.

Die bestuurder het baie gedoen om my rolstoeltoegang te verbeter.

Excellent, friendly service.

Crowned Crane was a very pleasant surprise. The room was pristine and comfortable. I particularly enjoyed going to sleep at night to the sound of the surf. Shani is an attentive and caring host with clearly high standards. Well done!

Die bestuur was baie behulpsaam en tegemoedkomend.

'n Netjiese instansie met vriendelike personeel/bestuur wat baie behulpsaam was. Die badkamers het egter 'n onaangename aroma wat reggestel behoort te word, en die storte se vloere is baie glad met geen handvatsels vir ouer en swak persone om hulle te stabiliseer nie. Ek stel voor dat glyvaste matte of iets soortgelyks beskikbaar gemaak word en dat handvatsels in storte aangebring word.

"Budget Room" goeie waarde vir geld. Heerlike ontbyt!

Crowned Crane is in 'n baie goeie area geleë, die ideale basis vanwaar mens die area kan verken. Keurige verblyf, aangename personeel en heerlike ontbyt. Ons het net vir een nag bespreek en daarvoor was die "bugdet room" heeltemal voldoende. Vir langer verblyf, sou ons verseker die goed-toegeruste selfsorg-akkommodasie opgeneem het. Baie dankie!

Lindy S
With spouse/partner

Heerlike ligging by die see en vriendelike personeel.

Die gastehuis het 'n goeie ligging: loopafstand na die strand en restaurante. Veilig! Die personeel is vriendelik.

Marita C
With spouse/partner

'n Wonderlike, gasvrye eienaar en personeel!

Dit was 'n fantastiese ruskans gewees in 'n rustige omgewing.

Martin P

Gasvry, puik diens en heerlike ontbyt!

Baie aangenaam! Shani het ons vriendelik ontvang en dadelik tuis laat voel. Kamer en badkamer skoon. Heerlik geslaap en 'n puik ontbyt geniet.
