Die Blou Nartjie 's response
Beste Corneli
Baie dankie vir jou kommentaar. Ongelukkig het ons self nie geweet van die beurtkrag wat om 18:00 begin het nie, aangesien Eskom dit na Fase 4 verhoog het kort voor julle aankoms. Dit het ons almal onverhoeds betrap.
Ons het 'inverter" ligte in elke kamer gemerk "Emergency Light", wat werk wanneer die krag afgaan sodat julle nie in die donker hoef te wees nie. Die ligte werk op dieselfde basis as gewone ligte en kan aangeskakel word soos benodig. Die restaurant het ook 'n kragopwekker vir sulke beurtkrag gevalle om te verseker dat julle nog steeds lekker kan kuier in die restaurant terwyl daar beurtkrag is.

Beste Michael
Jammer om te hoor van jou ondervinding. Ons noem net graag dat die kelners die vorige aand aangebied het om jou wegneem ontbyt reg te kry, maar jy het gesê dat jy nie kos wil hê wat oornag oorgestaan het nie en dat jy dit vars gemaak die volgende oggend wil hê. Die kombuis het dus toe gewag die oggend van julle vertrek totdat jy vra daarvoor, aangesien jy spesifiek gesê het jy wil dit vars hê. Ongelukkig is ons nie 'n "fast food" restaurant nie, en doen ons dus nooit geroosterde broodjies nie.

Dear William
Sorry for your inconvenience with the water pressure
But as you know the whole country is under load-shedding and Calvinia has boor holes that must be pumped with electricity in order for us to have water.
So during load-shedding, the water pressure goes down, unfortunately, it is out of our hands,
Kind regards

The reception on arrival was not very friendly and gave more the impression that we were disturbing the woman. I also had to ask for a mop because our floor was very dirty and it was washed by myself as the cleaner when I asked for the mop said they were running now and with difficulty took the mop out for me. When we wanted to eat at the accommodation's restaurant which is on our reservation and doesn't mention having to book in advance, the woman told us that we have to book in advance and they are full. She was not bothered at all whether her guests had somewhere to eat for the evening or not or whether another plan could be made. There are no other eateries or take-aways in Calvinia. I would expect her to accommodate the overnight guests for dinner first. We were also not prepared with other food as according to reservation we would eat there in the evening. We also did not receive the room that was booked (10). Extremely poor, unprofessional and disappointed.

We are very sorry to hear about your bad experience. Please allow us to explain as this is not the standard of service we usually deliver. To be clear, we take ownership of these problems and only offer an explanation and not an excuse and the problems have been dealt with since your review to the best of our abilities.
The infestation of mosquitoes has happened because of the immense amount of rain that fell just the previous week and is a big problem currently in the whole of Calvinia. Unfortunately, we do not know where the cat urine smell comes from as we have no cats on the premises - our two lovely dogs Jock and Saartjie make sure of that as they are not cat lovers. The gas stove was installed just recently and unfortunately, we did not have time to connect it to a gas canister yet, an unforgivable oversight that has since been rectified. We did however bring you boiling water in flasks for your tea as requested. All the lamps in the unit is fitted with rechargeable bulbs and we have since added LED strip lights to further alleviate the load-shedding problem. We do not provide candles as it is a fire hazard. Regarding your check-in time of 19:00, yes the reception doors are locked at that time but the restaurant doors right next door were open with a lot of people already having dinner and at this busy time of the year it is all hands on deck to help dinner guests. As the restaurant and guest house are one business, we hope that guests will see that the doors are open just beside the closed ones and that we aim to help as many people as possible as efficiently as possible.
Apologies again for your bad experience, hopefully, we can make it a better one in the future.
Kind regards,
Die Blou Nartjie

From the time we booked we were kept informed, forwarded location and contacted again on day of check in. Room was modern, well appointed and clean. Dinner and breakfast were very tasty, and value for money.

The facility is clean with a warm feel. The people are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and included. We also had dinner there. The one place where they could perhaps improve is the food. Lamb shank is the best seller but is a bit tasteless in my opinion.

The restaurant's food is of high quality. The rooms are very well equipped and everything you need e.g. need for an evening. The restaurant is on site which is a bonus. No one has to drive again in the evening to go eat. The restaurant's food is of high quality and very friendly service was provided. Will definitely stay here again.

Good and disappointing
The rooms are beautiful and clean. Modern, but the water pressure in the shower is bad. The meals in the restaurant are delicious and highly recommendable. The WiFi is disappointing - login and password are only valid for 2 hours, not good enough. The pool is part of private property, but may be used by guests, but was dirty (green bottom) and there was a turtle swimming - unacceptable for guests to swim.
