It was peaceful and clean.

It was a good stay. Everything was in the right place, although there was no tea and sugar. But we enjoyed everything.

If you need a place to stay over then this works. Do not expect much.

Overall not a great experience.

Not pleasant. Indifferent reception on arrival. Very basic accommodation. No tea, coffee, etc. Bed needs a new mattress. Extractor fan in the bathroom is very noisy. One hand towel and one bath towel available for two people.

Lekker plek maar as jy rustigheid soek is hierdie nie die plek vir jou.

Verblyf was netjies en skoon. Goeie diens en was baie gasvry. Maar as jy rustigheid soek gaan hierdie nie vir hou werk nie. Vrydag aand was harde musiek tot in oggendure met mense wat lawaai en Saterdag heeldag harde musiek en mense wat skree en lawaai.

Nice place but if you are looking for tranquility this is not the place for you.

Accommodation was neat and clean. Good service and was very hospitable. But if you're looking for peace of mind, this won't work for long. Friday night was loud music until the morning hours with people making noise and Saturday all day loud music and people shouting and making noise.

Akkommodasie-eenheid se netheid kan verbeter.

2 warm water wasbakkrane lek, sitkamer buisligte werk nie, lamp se kragprop is los en gevaarlik, eetgerei was nie op standaard, moes by eetsaal gaan leen. Matte kan gesuig word. Courtyard was vol blare en vertoon swak. Met klein bietjie aandag aan foute ens sal dit goeie waarde vir geld wees. Gasvryheid van eienaar was baie baie goed!

Accommodation unit's cleanliness could improve.

2 hot water sink taps leaking, lounge tube lights not working, lamp power plug loose and dangerous, cutlery was not up to standard, had to borrow from dining hall. Carpets can be vacuumed. Courtyard was full of leaves and showing poorly. With a little attention to bugs etc it would be good value for money. Hospitality from owner was very very good!

Heerlike plaasatmosfeer.

Baie mooi plek wat deur familie bestuur word met pragtige fauna en flora. Is baie vriendelik ontvang en verwelkom, slegs 1 probleempie is die koffiestasie wat hopeloos te klein is en om water in ketel te gooi.

Very nice family run place with beautiful fauna and flora. Was welcomed friendly, only 1 problem is the coffee station which is too small and to pour water into the kettle.

In transit night stop.

Just not what one would expect from the name. Woken early by taxis picking up patrons for work. Bathroom so small one couldn't move. Extractor fan when light in toilet was turned on was so noisy it was preferable to bath in the dark. They would do better to have shower or bath in that small space - not both. It was clean and there was a fridge to keep things cool.

Rustig.

Alhoewel nie ideaal vir selfversorgend nie, is daar genoeg geriewe om mee reg te kom. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en akkommoderend. Onderhoud op die kamers is puik en die tuin pragtig. Die rustige plaasatmosfeer het bygedra tot 'n baie ontspannende langnaweek. Indien ons weer in die omgewing is sal ons nie huiwer om weer hier te bly nie.

Restful.

Although not ideal for self-catering, there are enough amenities to get by. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Maintenance on the rooms is excellent and the garden beautiful. The peaceful farm atmosphere contributed to a very relaxing long weekend. If we are in the area again we will not hesitate to stay here again.

Was okay.

Hulle was baie tegemoetkomend met ons laat aankoms en vroeg uitgaan, maar hulle het vergeet om die geiser aan te sit so toe het ons geen warm water gehad nie. Nogal onaangenaam as jy 04:00 in die oggend will stort en daar is net koue water.

Was okay.

They were very accommodating with our late arrival and leaving early, but they forgot to put the geyser on so we had no hot water. Quite unpleasant if you want to shower at 4am in the morning and there is only cold water.

Vir die prys wat mens betaal, moet mens seker nie beter verwag nie.

Die gastehuis lê regs langs ‘n hoofpad en alhoewel daar ‘n groot hek is word dit nie snags toegetrek of gesluit nie. Daar is ‘n mikrogolf, ‘n ketel en koffiebekers, 1 teelepel en glase. Daar is slegs 1 teesakkie uitgesit sonder enige melk of suiker en geen verdere eetgerei. Op ons tweede aand het ons 11 uur by ons verblyf aangekom en daar was geen toiletpapier in die eenheid nie. Ek verwag nie ‘n luukse blyplek vir die geld wat ons betaal het nie, maar darem kan die klein aspekte van ‘n gemakliker verblyf meer aandag geniet.

For the price you pay, you probably shouldn't expect better.

The guest house lies on the right next to a main road and although there is a large gate it is not closed or locked at night. There is a microwave, a kettle and coffee cups, 1 teaspoon and glasses. There was only 1 tea bag put out without any milk or sugar and no other utensils. On our second night we arrived at our accommodation at 11am and there was no toilet paper in the unit. I don't expect a luxurious place to stay for the money we paid, but at least the small aspects of a more comfortable stay can receive more attention.

Estelle baie jammer oor julle ongerief. Julle was ongelukkig nie in 'n self sorg eenheid nie. Ontvangs was 100 meter van af julle kamer, ons is 24/07 beskikbaar as julle iets nodig gehad het.

Aangename, netjiese, rustige en waarde vir geld verblyf.

Dankie vir die personeel wat behulpsaam was met die verskaffing van `n braaier wat ons by die Majubafees kon gebruik. Daar is ook dadelik gehelp met huisvesting die Saterdagaand vir een van die feesgangers.

Probleem gehad met warm water. Geyser was buitewerking.

Granny Goose se staff was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hul het ons gehelp met 'n ekstra bed. Ongelukkig was ons eenheid se geyser buitewerking. Hul het ons wel toegang gegee tot 'n ander kamer om te kan stort. Hierdie kamer was 'n "smoking room" en het nie goed geruik nie.
