Nie kwaliteit nie.

Ons het daar aangekom en uitgepak. Na die bed op bakstene gekyk, op dit gaan lê en was onstabiel. Die yskas het 'n sterk onaangename reuk gehad. Moes ook die eienaars soek, want hul deure was gesluit. Sal dit glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Not quality.

We got there and unpacked. Looked at the bed on bricks, lay down on it and was unsteady. The fridge had a strong unpleasant smell. Also had to look for the owners as their doors were locked. Would not recommend it at all.

Baie lekker gebly.

Stort gedeelte kort net 'n deur en 'n wasbak in die kombuis vir skottelgoed.

Very nice stay.

Shower area only needs a door and a sink in the kitchen for dishes.

Not as expected.

We didn't stay. We got there, unpacked, debated the horrible smell of the room, and the fact that it felt unsafe. Then we booked a new place, packed up, and went to the new place. The bedding was clean. However, it's more suited to groups of adults who are travelling than families with toddlers.

Hulle hond het heel aand geblaf so ons het nie rerig goeie rus ingekry nie. Die skakelaar van die waaier het ook uitmekaar geval.

Their dog barked all night so we didn't get a very good rest. The fan switch also fell apart.

Skoon maar baie basiese verblyf.

Dit was baie skoon en rustig, en die diertjies wat elke oggend kom groet, was vir ons oulik. Maar die ligging was baie sleg vir 'n oorslaap oppad Kaap toe, baie ver uit die pad, en nie naby aan enige eetplekke nie. Daar is ook nie regtig geriewe om self kos te maak nie, so ons moes 'n hele entjie ry na die naaste restaurant toe.

Clean but very basic accommodation.

It was very clean and peaceful, and the animals that came to say hello every morning were cute to us. But the location was very bad for a stopover on the way to Cape, very far out of the way, and not close to any places to eat. There aren't really any facilities to make our own food either, so we had to drive quite a distance to the nearest restaurant.

Eienaars vriendelik, maar kan die plek baie verbeter met bietjie moeite.

Die eienaars is baie vriendelik, maar net Engelssprekend. Dis nie 'n probleem nie, maar mens moet net bewus wees, want boodskappe in Afrikaans buite die van die platform word nie beantwoord nie. Die plekkie is oraait. Dis buite die industriële gebied van Bloem. Darm na aan die teerpad en die stukkie grondpad is nie te sleg nie. Die ingang is geplaveer. Daar kan baie verbeteringe aangebring word deur net na klein details om te sien. Bv. die eenhede is soortgelyk aan tydelike klassse van my laerskooldae, so word vinnig warm en daar is nie lugversorging nie, net 'n dakwaaier, maar die waaier het nie behoorlik gewerk nie, so die enigste ander opsie vir afkoel in die hitte was die swembad. Dit sou voldoende gewees het as hulle maar net reg was vir die toeristeseisoen. Ongelukkig was die swembad groen en net half vol gewees. Daar was ook die middag 'n stofstorm gewees en die hele eenheid sou waarskynlik toegewees het onder 'n laag stof as ons nie die gleuf onder die deur geseel het met sakkies en handdoeke nie. Na die tyd het niemand kom kyk of ons hulp nodig het om skoon te maak nie. Dis 'n kleinigheid, maar sou 'n verskil aan die ondervinding gemaak het. Die mure van die eenhede is ook baie dun so mens is bewus van die ander mense in die eenhede om jou. Ek sou nie die plek aanbeveel vir gesinne op vakansie nie. Dalk net vir 'n slaapplek vir iemand op 'n besigheidsreis of 'n vinnige oorstop op toer iewers heen.

Owners friendly, but could improve the place a lot with a little effort.

The owners are very friendly, but only speak English. It's not a problem, but you just have to be aware, because messages in Afrikaans outside of the platform are not answered. The place is perfect. It's outside the industrial area of Bloem. Gut close to the tarmac and the bit of dirt road is not too bad. The entrance is paved. Many improvements can be made by just paying attention to small details. E.g. the units are similar to makeshift classrooms from my primary school days so get hot quickly and there is no air conditioning, just a ceiling fan, but the fan didn't work properly, so the only other option for cooling off in the heat was the pool. It would have been enough if only they were ready for the tourist season. Unfortunately, the pool was green and only half full. There had also been a dust storm in the afternoon and the whole unit would probably have been covered in a layer of dust if we hadn't sealed the slot under the door with bags and towels. After the time, no one came to see if we needed help cleaning. It's a small thing, but would have made a difference to the experience. The walls of the units are also very thin so you are aware of the other people in the units around you. I would not recommend the place for families on vacation. Maybe just for a place to sleep for someone on a business trip or a quick stopover on a tour somewhere.

Unpleasant.

This place is not what it looks like in the pictures. The swimming pool looked so beautiful in the pictures, but in reality, it is so unattractive; the water was so green. None of us wanted to swim. The TV is outdated and not working, and the place looked dirty. There is a sign in the bathroom which says washing hands saves lives, but there was no hand soap. The base of the bed is on the floor. None of us bothered to even take a shower in the morning; we could not wait to leave. The people are friendly; that's the only positive thing about this place.

Baie goeie waarde vir geld, maar sal nie weer gebruikmaak van die plek nie.

Daar was gaste wat gedrink het en dronk geraak het en baie lelik mekaar gevloek en wou baklei het. Ons het nie veilig gevoel nie. Daar is geen caretaker wat stilgemaak het of gaste rustig gemaak het nie. Asblikke was ook nie skoongemaak nie en diere loop rond en soek kos by die gaste? Kon ook nie stort nie, want daar is geen waterdruk nie.

Very good value for money but would not use the place again.

There were guests who drank and got drunk and cursed each other very badly and wanted to fight. We did not feel safe. There is no caretaker who silenced or put guests at ease. Trash bins were also not cleaned and animals roam around looking for food from the guests? Couldn't shower either because there is no water pressure.

Good Day

Trust all is well!

Thank you for your review.

We do apologies for your experience., However we are working on the water pressure because we have a borehole and as for the clients that was drinking. We have rules that they can braai and have a drink but are not allowed to disturbed the other guest, unfortunately the caretakers was not in at that time. Regarding the animals that is how animals are, we do try and keep them away from the rooms.

We hope you would consider staying with us again when their is no other loud clients.

Trust you find all in order.
Kind Regards,
Eden Guest Farm

Onveilig, waterprobleme, geen skoonmaakdienste, onprivaat.

Ons het Donderdag ingeklok vir 4 nagte (5 volwassenes, 1 hoërskool-, 1 laerskoolkind, en 'n baba van 3 jaar). Die ander vriende het Saterdag ingeklok (2 volwassenes en 1 hoërskoolkind). Ek het dus 'n hele paar punte wat ek onder julle aandag wil bring: 1. Baie onveilig, geen veilige parkering vir voertuie nie. 2. Geen privaatheid nie, werkers wat op perseel bly loop deur gaste terwyl hulle sit en braai, geen privaatheid by die badkamer van huis 2 nie. 3. Water was 'n groot probleem, Vrydagoggend geen warm water nie, die res van die tyd moes almal beurte maak met stort, nie goeie waterdruk nie. 4. Stort is glad nie skoon nie,. 5. Geen skoonmaakdienste soos geadverteer nie. 6. Geen wasbakkie, mop, besem, ens. om self bietjie netjies en skoon te maak was beskikbaar nie, en die wat wel na die tyd gevra en ontvang is, was baie vuil. Geen geriewe om self kos te maak nie. 7. Die 6-Slaapplek, het nie volledige eetgerei gehad nie. 8. Die groot asblikke buite was nooit skoongemaak nie, dit het oorgeloop van die vuilgoed, by die aangesig van die huisie, baie onnet. 9. Huis nommer 2 se yskas het net die vrieshokkie gewerk. 10. Die braai-area is net 1 keer skoongemaak met ons hele verblyftydperk. 11. Ons het per huisie vir die hele 4 dae elk net 1 rol toiletpapier ontvang. 12. Wifi-sein was bitter sleg. 13. Die swembad was grasgroen, kon glad nie van hom gebruikmaak nie. 14. Die kinder-swings ens. is stukkend, kon nie van dit gebruikmaak nie. Hierdie is beslis nie 'n 4 ster werd nie.

Unsafe, water problems, no cleaning services, unprivate.

We checked in on Thursday for 4 nights (5 adults, 1 high school, 1 elementary school child, and a 3 year old baby). The other friends checked in on Saturday (2 adults and 1 high school kid). So I have quite a few points that I want to bring to your attention: 1. Very unsafe, no safe parking for vehicles. 2. No privacy, workers who keep walking on site by guests while sitting and barbecuing, no privacy at the bathroom of house 2. 3. Water was a big problem, no hot water on Friday morning, the rest of the time everyone had to take turns showering, not good water pressure. 4. Shower is not clean at all. 5. No cleaning services as advertised. 6. No wash basin, mop, broom, etc. to tidy up and clean it myself was not available, and the ones that were asked and received after the time were very dirty. No facilities to cook yourself. 7. The 6-Sleeper, did not have complete cutlery. 8. The big bins outside were never cleaned, they overflowed with the rubbish, in front of the house, very untidy. 9. House number 2's fridge only worked the freezer compartment. 10. The braai area was only cleaned once during our entire stay. 11. We received only 1 roll of toilet paper each for the entire 4 days per cottage. 12. Wifi signal was very bad. 13. The swimming pool was grass green, could not use it at all. 14. The children's swings etc. is broken, could not use it. This is definitely not worth a 4 star.
