Thank you for your comments, which are noted and appreciated. We also love it when you give us feedback while staying with us so that we can prioritize the urgent work. As we speak we are renovating and painting Etienne's, the cottage you stayed in. We know everything is not perfect all the time, but it is a privately owned business, with a street of 32 houses built between 1840-1880s, constantly needing maintenance, so it is a race against time and is definitely a passion project, that has spanned a lifetime. We are so proud of what we have achieved and are one of the few complete, historic streetscapes in the world, that we have renovated as a legacy for future generations. We are also so chuffed that we have come through a really tough year with obvious hardships, ready to continue making a difference, one house at a time. Will check the Wi-Fi, which is also an ongoing project. So glad you loved the croissants. Can't wait to see you soon again.

Step back into history.
The Tuishuise are restored houses that date from the last century. The 32 houses have been carefully renovated and furnished with furniture and crockery that give you the experience of the lifestyle of our ancestors. We stayed 2 nights in The Gallery. Clean, comfortable, with old fashioned charm. Exactly what we expected. In the evening we went to eat in the Victoria Manor where a buffet is offered. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to people who want to experience the ancient history.

It's rare that a hotel is one of the attractions of a town. The Tuishuise & Victoria Manor is without a doubt a must visit place when visiting Cradock: A whole street with 30 lovingly restored guesthouses and a hotel which seems to be the center of town life - no luxury accommodation, but a fun and stylish one. We really enjoyed everything: the friendly service, the special atmosphere and the good food. There's plenty of reason to return.

Pleasant stay.
I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed as the room we were allocated looked nothing like the one I had booked. It was still clean and tidy, but I personally think that there could be a little more attention to detail. The soap and shampoo in the shower did not have stoppers. The table outside was broken and dirty. There is no outside light at the back of the house and if you have to go to your vehicle it is pitch dark and in my opinion dangerous. Gibson, who received us, was nice and helpful. Shane, who took us to our place, was very friendly. Had a delicious meal in the hotel that evening with good service. A little bit more attention will definitely improve that review.
