Het net daar geslaap — was heeldag op die pad om die blommeprag te waardeer.

Al die personeel is baie vriendelik. Hulle het ook moeite gedoen om 'n spesiale versoek te volbring.

Just slept there — was on the road all day to appreciate the beauty of the flowers.

All the staff are very friendly. They also went out of their way to fulfill a special request.

Wat 'n verrassing!

Eerste indruk - waar het ek ons nou ingeboek? Blywende indruk - wat 'n juweel. Wat tekort skiet met die normale geriewe soos televisie, winkels, ens. was opgemaak met die vriende wat ons gemaak het met geselsies in die kroeg van Graafwater. Dankie Susette en Hanna, julle het ons baie spesiaal laat voel en ons het dit regtig geniet. Kamer baie netjies en skoon. Julle sal ons weer sien.

What a surprise!

First impression - where did I check us in? Lasting impression - what a gem. What falls short with the normal amenities such as television, shops, etc. was made up with the friends we made with chats in the bar of Graafwater. Thank you Susette and Hanna, you made us feel very special and we really enjoyed it. Room very neat and clean. You will see us again.

Arriving at a closed front door after a long day's travel, and not having your phone calls answered is frustrating and in fact annoying!

Unfortunately I cannot give a good review based on my experience. And it was mainly due to the hotel not answering their phones. I phoned earlier in the day to find out about supper and had no answer, on arrival the front door was locked, I rang the bell and nobody came to answer. I then dialed the landline number again and the phone rang in the bar behind a security gate, but again nobody in sight. In the end I had to walk around to the back of the hotel and then had someone showing me to the room. I got the feeling I was not expected, the fridge was not switched on which is inconvenient when trying keep thing cold. It's just small things but it matters. The room was clean though and if you just need a place to sleep and expect nothing else then it will suffice I suppose.

Eerste hotel wat ons by tuisgaan wat nie die kamers diens nie.

Ons was 2 pare wat daar tuisgegaan het tydens ons blommetoer. Die hotel is baie oud. Aangesien dit nog gereken word as die Kaapse winter sou mens iets soos 'n verwarmer in die kamer verwag het. Aangesien die kamers nie gediens was nie, moes ons die koffiebekers in die wasbak van ons badkamer was om weer die volgende oggend te kom gebruik.

First hotel we stay at that does not service the rooms.

We were 2 couples who stayed there during our flower tour. The hotel is very old. Since it is still considered the Cape winter one would have expected something like a heater in the room. As the rooms were not serviced, we had to wash the coffee mugs in the sink of our bathroom to use again the next morning.

We didn't go home there.

We did not go home there, preferring to look for other accommodation. The ad is confusing and so are the photos. The room was at the end of a dark corridor not mentioned in the ad. Very distracted I was not at all comfortable with the security in the Hotel. Upon our arrival, we walked around the hotel for probably 10 minutes before someone arrived to speak to us.

A wonderful stay with great people!

We had a great adventure staying here - most kind people, very interesting guests in the hotel and superb hospitality by Suzette and her team! If you are into luxury and splendour, this is not for you! The rooms were spotless, clean and comfortable! Real old-fashioned "1950's country style" stuff - do go hiking in the areas around Graafwater - stunning! We will be back, with friends!

Kamer was netjies. Veiligheid is 'n probleem.

Die kamer was netjies, maar daar is geen sekuriteit nie. Die voertuie word agter die hotel parkeer maar daar is geen hekke nie. Dit is toeganklik vir enige iemand. Ons moes die laaste dag tussen hondemis in die hotel se gang ons goed uitdra. Lyk nie of dit die mense gepla het toe ons dit aanmeld nie. Moes 30 km na Lambertsbaai ry om kos te kry.

Room was neat. Safety is an issue.

The room was neat, but there is no security. The vehicles are parked behind the hotel but there are no gates. It is accessible to anyone. On the last day, we had to carry our things out in the hotel's hallway amidst dog droppings. Doesn't seem to have bothered the people when we reported it. Had to drive 30 km to Lambertsbaai to get food.

Goeidag Johan,

Jammer vir die hondemis ek moes na my dogter se hondjie kyk, en dit was moeilik. Veiligheid in Graafwater is een van ons spogpunte, daar was nooit in 14 jaar inbrake in en om die hotel nie. Soos aangedui op ons profiel is etes beskikbaar op aanvraag. By Graafwater Hotel is ons doel om voortdurend te verbeter.
Dankie vir jou resensie,dit hou ons op ons tone.

Vriendelike Groete
Susette
