Fine.

Hallo, dis nie sleg nie - maar dis ook nie aan te beveel nie, bietjie werk nodig. Die deur moet vervang word, die stort is baie klein, die bed waarop ons geslaap het moet vervang word, dis regtig al deur gelê. As jy lank is en jy loop by die trappe op - slaan jy jou kop seer teen die dak op die laaste trap.

Fine.

Hello, it's not bad - but it's not recommended either, needs some work. The door needs to be replaced, the shower is very small, the bed we slept on needs to be replaced, it's really worn out. If you are tall and you walk up the stairs - you hit your head on the roof on the last step.

Self-catering - no.

This is definitely not self-catering. No pots and pans. No bowls. No utensils. Only a microwave and a tiny fridge. The counter space is 1m x. 5m is used for the microwave, crockery and to work on. The place is neglected and there is no sink. You get a jug of water to use. If you just want to sleep and shower then it's fine.

Road trip saam met my seun.

Die matrasse, kussings, gordyne en beddegoed is baie oud en behoort vervang te word. In die slaapkamer en badkamer is daar gate in die vloer wat met die mat en gelamineerde hout bedek is. Jy sien dit nie, maar trap net skielik in 'n gat. Die sekuriteit is nie goed nie, want enige persoon kan die buitehek oopstoot. Dit is ook baie nou om jou motor in trurat uit die erf te kry. Ek het al vir dieselfde prys in baie oulike akkommodasie gebly. Die Wifi werk egter goed. Die gastehuis kan gerus oorweeg om geld te besteë om die plek te verbeter, want dit kan eintlik baie beter verblyf wees as 'n paar rand uitgehaal word. Ons het ook gesukkel om die eienaar in die hande te kry, want sy kommunikeer nog per SMS! Die eienaar het ons eers gesien toe ons vertrek het. Ons moes self in die reën uitklim om die hek toe te maak, terwyl sy net in haar huis verdwyn het.

Road trip with my son.

The mattresses, pillows, curtains and bedding are very old and should be replaced. In the bedroom and bathroom there are holes in the floor which are covered with the carpet and laminated wood. You don't see it, but just suddenly step into a hole. The security is not good because any person can push open the outer gate. It is also very now to get your car out of the yard in reverse. I have stayed in much nicer accommodation for the same price. The Wifi works well though. The guest house may well consider spending money to improve the place, because it could actually be much better accommodation if a few rand were taken out. We also had trouble getting hold of the owner, because she still communicates by SMS! The owner only saw us when we left. We had to get out in the rain ourselves to close the gate, while she just disappeared into her house.

Disappointing.

No signage on the gate. No street number on the gate. No bell or intercom on the gate. Wi-Fi code not correct or Wi-Fi not working. Hostess could be more accommodating.

It was not welcoming on the first night due to the absence of the fridge.

No pots and cooking pans but bar fridge. No stove to cook. That was very bad first night.

Rustig, netjies en gemaklik - alles was in orde.

Kleinerige woonstel, maar baie gemaklik met skoonmaakdienste 3 keer per week. Nie naby die strand nie, maar was nie vir ons 'n probleem nie.

Peaceful, neat and comfortable - everything was in order.

Smallish flat, but very comfortable with cleaning services 3 times per week. Not close to the beach, but that wasn't a problem for us.

Na drie dae ander verblyf gaan soek.

Die handdoekreling het aan die eenkant uit die muur getrek. Die reling vir die gesigshanddoek was heeltemal geroes en die stortkop was groenerig aan die buitekant, ook die sproeigedeelte.

After three days went looking for other accommodation.

The towel rail protruded from the wall on one side. The rail for the face towel was completely rusted and the shower head was greenish on the outside, also the spray part.

Perfek vir oorslaap.

Alles wat mens nodig het vir oorslaap. Mooi skoon en netjies. Vir vakansie hou wil mens dalk eerder meer van 'n uitsig en buitekuier-area hê.

Perfect for a sleepover.

Everything you need for an overnight stay. Nice clean and tidy. For vacationing, one might rather want more of a view and outdoor lounging area.

Hierdie is 'n losieshuis nie 'n B&B.

Die kamers word nie gediens nie. Ontbyt ingesluit bestaan uit ontbytgraan, jogurt, 1 hardgekookte eier, 1 sny kouevleis, 1 sny brood, 1 muffin wat alles in die yskas gelos is sodat jy jouself kan bedien. As daar 'n eetkamer of sitkamer is was ons nie daarvan bewus gemaak nie.

This is a boarding house not a B&B.

The rooms are not serviced. Breakfast included consists of breakfast cereal, yoghurt, 1 hard-boiled egg, 1 slice of cold meat, 1 slice of bread, 1 muffin which is all left in the fridge so you can serve yourself. If there is a dining room or living room we were not made aware of it.

We advertise our rooms as self service continental breakfast and you also left of your list, loads of fruit, 2 cereals juice,coffee and tea.
I did service your room didn’t you notice the emptied dustbin and washed dishes and wet towels hung up.
Thank you for staying with us.

Rustig en vredig.

Skoon, netjies, stil, naby aan alles - hoofroetes, winkels, strande, rivier ensovoorts. Geen probleme ervaar met sekuriteit of enigiets dergeliks nie. As ek weer PA-toe sou gaan sou ek nie omgee om weer daar te bly nie.

Great hospitality.

Very warm welcoming from the owner of the guest house. Warmhearted and the room she provided has a great orientation. Although it was a 1 night stay, we were happy and it was a cold evening and we had hot water in the shower so we were nice and warm before going to bed. Clean, neat and tidy kitchen and all appliances. Thank you, we will return soon!
