Stil, rustig, huislik!

Bai elekker gebly. Ek sou dalk net klein bietjie meer spasie wou gehad het vir my klere. Die kas was vol addisionele duvets ens., wat te verstane is, maar dit neem pakplek in vir klere. Ek het nie gevra nie, maar sal volgende keer 'n tafeltjie in my wooneenheid wil hê.

Quiet, peaceful, homely!

Bai each stayed. I would have liked just a little more space for my clothes. The closet was full of additional duvets etc., which is understandable, but it takes up storage space for clothes. I didn't ask, but next time I would like a small table in my apartment.

Disappointing when measured against the advert.

It is ok but there are signs of decay, and it really does not make me feel comfortable. There is better value for money nearby.

Bietjie meer aandag aan detail.

Crowned Crane B&B is 'n netjiese skoon plek waar jy gemaklik kan oorslaap. Dis net die bietjie aandag aan kleiner detail wat pla soos bv. om te verseker jy weet wanneer gaste sal vertrek en dan te sorg dat die parkering so gereël word om te verhoed dat die wat vroeg vertrek dit kan doen en die wat later wil slaap nie gepla moet word nie. Ons het in die reën op 'n motorfiets aangekom papsopnat en dit sou lekker gewees het as iemand gevra het of ons iets nodig het.

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

A little more attention to detail.

Crowned Crane B&B is a neat and clean place where you can sleep comfortably. It's just the little attention to smaller details that bothers, like e.g. to ensure that you know when guests will leave and then to ensure that the parking is arranged in such a way as to prevent those who leave early from being able to do so and those who want to sleep later are not bothered. We arrived in the rain on a motorcycle soaking wet and it would have been nice if someone had asked if we needed anything.

Die gastehuis se ligging het ons uitstekend gepas by strand en winkels en dienslewering was akkuraat met 2 hiccups.

Eerstens was ons onder die indruk dat ons eie kos kan warm maak in ons eie kamer as wel die geval was met ons vorige B&B-fasiliteite omrede ons B&B instansies gereeld besoek, so dit maak die etes ongemaklik omrede ons moet reël dat restaurantgeriewe oopgemaak word vir ons om dit te gebruik omrede dit altyd toe was of ons moes altyd gaan uiteet wat bietjie nadelig was vir ons omdat dit nie deel van ons budget/beplanning was nie. Tweedens was ons onder indruk dat breakfast ingesluit was by prys omrede dit geadverteer word as 'n B&B. Dit was wel nie die geval nie na ons eerste dag se navraag en ons was ingelig ons het dit nie gekies nie. Nou vraag is waar moes ons dit gekies het as ons dit moes gedoen het by bespreking? Weet nie wie se probleem dit is nie, maar daar moet duidelik aangemeld word dat breakfast addisioneel is of 'n opsie by bespreking en booking moet gegee word sodat reisigers duidelik in kennis gestel word van opsies. Dit het ons heeltemal onkant gevang en moes toe ons budgets oorskry vir vakansie a.g.v. onduidelikheid. So, al ons etes was basis over budget a.g.v. beperkte geriewe. Ons het nie veel van issue gemaak nie, maar wil inlig en gaan voortaan al die navrae doen alvorens ons weer bespreek. Andersins was als in plek en dienslewering was op standaard tydens vakansiedae soos Kersfees en dag daarna waar geen dienste gelewer was nie, was ons verwittig om wel navraag te doen indien skoon handdoeke, ens. vir ons gegee moet word of nie.

The guesthouse's location suited us perfectly with beach and shops and service delivery was accurate with 2 hiccups.

Firstly, we were under the impression that we can heat our own food in our own room as was the case with our previous B&B facilities because we visit B&B establishments often, so it makes the meals uncomfortable because we have to arrange for restaurant facilities to be opened for us to use it because it was always closed or we always had to go out to eat which was a bit disadvantageous for us because it was not part of our budget/planning. Secondly, we were under the impression that breakfast was included in the price because it is advertised as a B&B. This was not the case after our first day's inquiry and we were informed we did not choose it. Now question is where should we have chosen it if we should have done it at booking? Don't know whose problem it is, but it should be clearly reported that breakfast is additional or an option should be given at reservation and booking so that travelers are clearly informed of options. This caught us completely off guard and we then had to exceed our budgets for vacation due to ambiguity. So, all our meals were based on budget due to limited amenities. We have not made much of an issue, but want to inform and will from now on make all the inquiries before we discuss again. Otherwise, everything was in place and service delivery was up to standard during holidays such as Christmas and the day after when no services were provided, we were informed to inquire if clean towels, etc. should be given to us or not.

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 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.

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 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.

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!

Friendly service, neat, comfortable.

I was received very kindly and my room was very nice, neat and clean. The room is well equipped with everything I needed. All that was negative is that the room did not have an en-suite bathroom - the bathroom is across the hall. Thank you Crowned Crane!

Crowned Crane B&B and Self Catering '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.

Very nice stay, very clean and tidy.

We had a very nice stay. All we were worried about the first night was the fact that our car had to sleep outside the gate and my husband got up every now and then throughout the night to make sure it was still there. The second night we could at least park inside and sleep peacefully. Unfortunately, the inside parking is on a "first come" system so if you go out and come back a little late, your car stays outside.

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.

Nice, but you're staring into the back of the main building.

There is nothing wrong with the accommodation, but I would prefer to see the sea in the evening when you sit outside. The guests next to our car's back window were knocked out the night before and everything in the car was stolen.

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.

Nice!

I had a nice stay in Crowned Crane, but compared to other places it's not really value for money. I was in the single room with a bathroom across the hall. I was not happy when I returned to find my room door open. The cleaners cleaned nicely but did not re-lock my room. And the room is right next to the office, so it's very busy there.

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.

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.

The management was very helpful and accommodating.

A neat establishment with friendly staff/management who were very helpful. However, the bathrooms have an unpleasant aroma that should be rectified, and the shower floors are very slippery with no grab bars for the elderly and infirm to stabilize them. I suggest that non-slip mats or something similar be made available and that grab bars be installed in showers.

"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!

"Budget Room" good value for money. Delicious breakfast!

Crowned Crane is located in a very good area, the ideal base from which to explore the area. Exquisite accommodation, pleasant staff and delicious breakfast. We only booked for one night and for that the "bugdet room" was completely sufficient. For a longer stay, we would certainly have taken up the well-equipped self-catering accommodation. Thank you very much!
