Happy Home Imhoff's Gift

Good for a short stay.

Our stay was good, the hostess was welcoming and helpful. It would have been appreciated to have some recommendations for restaurants/activities and/or a few communal games. The kettle didn't work and neither did the WiFi. These weren't deal breakers as it was a short stay. The outer leading door to the pool didn't feel secure as there was only a latch.

Comfortable.

Comfortable and friendly.

Baie teleurgesteld. Ons het net 2 van die 3 nagte gebly. Die huis is nie geskik om 'n gastehuis genoem te word nie.

Ek is wakker geklop om my kar te skuif, want daar is nie genoeg parkeerplek nie. Die agterkant van die huis is langs 'n baie besige pad. So, ja, die uitsig is pragtig, maar dis beslis nie 'n rustige plekkie nie. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en probeer hulle bes. Die kamer was gerieflik, maar die hele badkamervloer se teëls is gekraak. Die TV is so groot soos 'n laptopskerm en wou nie werk nie.

Disappointing

When I initially made the booking on the website I thought the "guest house" as advertised was presented nicely and it had a high cleanliness rating (5/5) as well as value for money (5/). Upon arrival, there was an instant underlying smell of a greasy kitchen as If it hasn't had a deep clean/scrub in a while but we couldn't help but notice the strong smell of air freshener. We weren't panicking at this point until we were taken upstairs to our room. The overwhelming smell of dogs was in the air and continued into our room. The floors looked dirty and there was mould on the bathroom windows, as well on the windows around the stairwell. The description in the advertisement did not disclose that there would be dogs on the property permanently, only that it was pet friendly by arrangement. The host even apologized about the dogs barking and that we "must just ignore the dogs, they bark all the time". This was an instant turn-off as we were expecting a peaceful and more private getaway. The host's room was a stone's throw away from our room which was uncomfortable. We also weren't expecting to be sharing the guesthouse with others. I was not impressed by the room signs that looked unprofessional and not attractive at all, the signs would be more suited for a pre-primary school rather than a guesthouse. I didn't want to say all of this to the host/liaison as we are not people who relish in awkward/confrontational situations and we got the feeling she was only there as a worker and is not responsible in the way that the owner is. The advertisement of the guest house versus what was experienced was a big disappointment and let down for our money's worth, as I feel the guesthouse was advertised falsely.

Pleasant and cosy.

Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Was very helpful in giving us directions for nearby attractions.

Lovely stay, beautiful views and comfortable and spacious room.

We had a lovely time and will definitely be visiting again.

Baie lekker gebly.

Was baie lekker, vriendelike mense en 'n mooi omgewing.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs gekry en diens.

Lanklaas so vriendelik diens gekry.

Pragtige kamer en pragtige uitsig in 'n netjiese huis opset.

Happy Home Imhoffs Gift het baie vriendelike diens. Dis in 'n huisopset. Pragtige uitsig as mens die bay window-kamer bespreek. Daar is konstante hoofweg motorgeraas reg deur die nag, hoorbaar ongeag toe vensters en deure. Belangrik om te weet.

It was good, just did not like the sharing bathroom setup.

There needs to be more bathrooms for the amount of rooms they have.

Fantastic.

I stayed one night, everything was as advertised and the place was lovely.

We enjoyed it so much, the view, the peacefulness and kindness.

Will definitely go again. Luke was a good host. Thank you.

Very friendly service but more backpackers then lodge.

The photo's are not what you get. The kitchen was not hygienic, the washing machine's water runs out over the driveway. There is mould in the shower and the shower door can't close. We won't stay there again. If someone is looking for just overnight stay, but for the price I wont.

Not the cleanest.

The property has a nice view and the hosts are very sweet, but its not very clean.

Peace and quiet that won't rattle your wallet.

We were in the 'budget' room, and we're happy because we'd received the special rate offered. In my opinion the usual rate would be too high for this room. It was clean and comfortable, but the shower is in the main house. The room does though have its own bathroom with a bath. The wall-to-wall carpet is stained, which could be remedied by some loose rugs. The bed is very comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The hosts are lovely and it is great to have the use of the communal kitchen and lounge. It is really quiet and a close walk to the vlei. The area is boomed off, so super safe, and close to everything.

Tranquility was what we looked for and Happy Home Imhoffs Gift was the place.

Location Location is always a plus and we really enjoyed our stay in a tranquil setting laced with impeccable hospitality from Zac and Candice. Enjoying amazing company along the pool side and my morning meditation on the deck balanced our stay. Value for money and highly recommended.

Kuierarea bo was heerlik met stoepuitsig oor vlei.

Honde skep huislike atmosfeer. Ek het dalk net misgelees dat die res van die huis (insluitende kombuis en sekere badkamers) gedeel word met ander gaste. Muskiete langs die vlei is 'n groot probleem.

Relaxing.

We had a very relaxing time. And would recommend Imhoff to my family and friends.

Heerlike wegbreek.

Pragtige omgewing en uitsig, net jammer oor die besige pad wat naby die eiendom geleë is.

Safe and quiet place needed to take your stress.

The pool is available, parking is inside the garage. Self-catering.

Teleurstellend en raserig.

Nadat ek die foto's van Happy Home gesien het, het ek gedink dis 'n skoon, helder kamer in a gastehuis, met ontbyt ingesluit. Dit was egter 'n kamer in iemand se huis, dit was donker, die matte was vuil en die teerpad loop reg agter die huis, so dis baie raserig. My kamer was reg oorkant die kombuis, so ek het die hele aand geluister hoe die eienaars kosmaak en gesels. Hierdie kamer is perfek vir iemand wat op 'n begroting reis en nie te veel omgee oor kwaliteit, privaatheid en stilte nie. Maar andersins was dit taamlik teleurstellend. Baie veilig egter.

We had a great time.

Being a communal kitchen and outdoors we spent a decent amount of time with our neighbours and are grateful for the opportunity to meet others. The dogs are obviously the highlight of our stay and also came to greet when we left. Thank you Zacheray for looking after us, may you be blessed.

Some admin problems, but was sorted out well.

Great stay, beautiful, clean and secure.

A true Western Cape gift! Friendly, warm and affordable. Great value for money.

A true God sent under my then circumstances! The owner Luke very accommodating to my last minute needs and requests. Great conversation and time spent with the Manageress Zachery! Beautiful, safe and comfortable location. Great value for money. I would highly recommend a stay at Happy Home Imhoffs Gift when you're visiting the South of the Western Cape. Thank you.

Heerlike kuier met hope gasvryheid.

Die gasvrou was uiters professioneel, vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sy het ons bygestaan met al ons behoeftes en die tweede myl gegaan. Sy is 'n aanwins vir Happy Home. Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie met die mooiste uitsig. Ons het lekker gekuier en kon weer recharge en unwind. Baie dankie aan die gasvrou en eienaar.

Aangename ontvangs.

Net jammer van pad agter die huis wat verkeer dra.

It is a very quiet and cute place to relax.

Cool safe place to stay for a while.

A lovely home away from home.

The room we stayed in was upstairs, it had a balcony from which we could see the vleis and the sea. We saw spectacular sunsets. The home is close to Kommetjie and Noordhoek and Scarborough, and one could walk from the security of the house, all the way to the farm and to Long Beach. I went on a horse ride along Long Beach where I saw the shipwreck and a huge pod of dolphins frolicking in the waves, spectacular. Harold, the manager of the house, was polite and helpful and made us feel welcome.

I had a amazing time, Margott and Harold were so friendly and welcoming.

I wish we could have stayed a bit longer, i really enjoyed my stay. I would definitely go back again.

Fantasties

Dit was baie lekker ons het dit baie geniet. Fatiema het ons werklik tuis laat voel.

Great stay! Would highly recommend.

The room was very clean and the customer service was great! Great value for your money.

Te kort en baie mooi.

Baie netjies en lekker. Mense is baie vriendelik. Daar is net muskiete so neem 'n waaier of middel saam om dit te verhoed.

Baie lekker en rustig.

Lisa en Luke was baie pragtig. Dis huis is mooi en gerieflik.

Gorgeous view.

The manager was watching our every move, made us feel very uncomfortable.

Good. But falsely advertised.

Vacay was good but the owner was like a baby sitter.

Peaceful, private and memorable.

The host and partner are really amazing and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. Not forgetting the dogs. We were given our privacy, yet also included in the togetherness with the host and other guest, leading to loads of fun. We will surely make a return again in the future. A place worth going to more than once.

Rustig vriendelik, lekker.

Goeie, gasvrye mense, niks is moeite nie.

Not satisfactory.

Carpets were dirty in the rooms and pillow cases has been used through already. Flies were a problem.

It was very nice. Me and the family enjoyed our holiday. Would not mind to go there again.

The staff was very friendly. The beach is not so far from Happy Homes if you would like to go to the beach. Shops is also not far from there. The house was neat and tidy.

Awesome, a breathtaking experience that we will treasure.

Our host was just a jewel he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the best there was to see. Recommending outstanding sights, pitstops and affordable eating spots. It is truly a must see place and a must stay accommodation.

Netjies, maar het beslis touch ups nodig en verf.

Luke is 'n baie oulike gasheer. Ons is mense wat baie hou van privaatheid, so hierdie plek het nie vir ons gewerk nie. Die kombuis is ook nie user friendly nie. Die persoon wat ons klere gewas het, het ook 'n groot gemors gemaak, sy het ons klere so opgehang dat dit merke gemaak het. Die view van ons kamer (die protea suite) was mooi, maar al die gaste het toegang tot ons balkon wat reg langs ons kamer is. Ons het nie daarvan gehou nie. Ons sal nie weer daar gaan bly nie, maar dalk vir mense wat nie so erg oor privaatheid soos ons is nie sal dit geniet.

Vreeslik behulpsaam en gasvryheid, was vir ons 'n fantastiese tydjie.

Diens was fantasties, sal enige tyd Happy Home Imhoffs Gift voorstel, mooi, netjies en skoon, kliëntediens was fantasties en vriendelik, sal altyd weer by hulle gaan oorbly.

Happy.

I was only unhappy that the caretaker walked in the house as he pleases, without an invite to enter while we were there.

Bekostigbaar.

Ons was baie vriendelik ontvang deur die gasheer. Ons het baie lekker gebly, ons kamers was mooi skoon en netjies en dit was vir ons 'n bekostigbare verblyf, waarde vir jou geld. Ons vervoer terug Pretoria toe is skielik gekanselleer en dit het vir ons 'n onvoorsiene uitgawe aan verblyf veroorsaak, daarom is ons baie dankbaar teenoor Happy Home wat vir ons hierdie bekostigbare verblyf gegee het.

Definitief binnekort weer.

Wil net dankie sê vir Luke vir die gasvryheid, ons sal die plek definitief aanbeveel vir ander mense.

Aangenaam en gemaklik.

Kwaliteit bed en lakens het die plek sy naam laat verdien. My 2 honde het baie goed ingepas wat 'n baie groot voordeel is.

Baie netjiese en toeganklike vakansie-verblyf met vriendelike ontvangs en verduidelikings deur gasheer Luke.

Wat 'n heerlike verrassing was dit om op hierdie geskenk af te kom! Augustus is middel van die winter, maar ons het warm ontvangs deur gasheer Luke en baie gerieflike slaapplek gehad. Uitstappies na nabygeleë Noordhoek Farm Village, Imhoff Farm, Monkey Valley en heerlike verrassings in Kampsbaai het alles die moeite werd gemaak. Heerlike ontspanning vir so 'n naweek-wegbreek!

Beautiful.

Happy Home Imhoffs Gift was really so beautiful, nice and quiet.

It was as if we were home away from home.

Lovely house, we had a decent experience.

Homely

Luke is an excellent host.

Baie rustig.

Sien sterre.

Was goed vir 'n wegbreek, baie private en streng sekuriteit en troeteldiervriendelik.

Baie mooi uitsig en vriendelik vir families. Diere en die uit leg van die huis ook baie private en ekovriendelik.

Huis weg van die huis!

Regtig aangename ervaring gewees.

Dit was amazing.

Alles van hierdie pragtige huis was asemrowend. Ons het goeie geselskap met Luca en Lisa gehad, alles was perfek!

Aangenaam verras.

Ek was skrikkerig om te boek siende dit so bekostigbaar was. Ons het deurgedruk en maar vir die beste gehoop. Met ons aankoms was ons aangenaam verras. Die plekkie is wonderlik! 'n Pragtige uitsig oor die varswater meer met 'n lieflike bed en badkamer. Groot met baie spasie. Ons het die groot deel kombuis gebruik om kosse voor te berei en het selfs gebraai. Die gasheer bly op die perseel en het ons tydjie baie aangenaam gemaak. Daar was niks waarmee ons kon fout vind nie. Netjies, skoon, baie mooi ingerig. Waarde vir geld. Boek met 'n geruste hart!

Splendid time.

Awesome establishment, will definitely be back again.

Stil en rustig.

Ons het die eerste week in Januarie by Happy Home in Imhoff's Gift, Kommetjie oorgebly. Kommetjie self is klein met nie veel om te doen nie, maar ons gasheer, Luke, kon eetplekke en besienswaardighede aanbeveel. Een van die was 'n spook toer in Simonstad (7 km weg), asook 'n plaaslike padstal waar ons heerlike handgemaakte hamburgers geëet het net na ons aankoms. Ons was meestal op die pad en besig om Kaapstad plat te ry, maar in die aande kon ons nog steeds kom en gaan, en kon terugkom na ons gemaklike kamer en sagte bed, en more oggend weer opstaan om verder te ry. Parkering op die perseel self is beperk, maar siende dat die ingang na Imhoff's Gift deur sekuriteit beamptes beman word, kan jy gerus maar jou kar buite langs die straat parkeer.

Peace, tranquillity and value for your money.

Luke was a great host. Stunning view. A great place to get away from the buzz. Would surely go again. Had a lovely stay at Happy Home.

Baie lekker. mense vreeslik behulpsaam baie rustig en veilig.

Luke is baie behulpsaam en vriendelik. Plek is altyd skoon en netjies. Niemand wat jou pla of iets soos dit. Baie veilig ook.

It was a good stay.

Friendly service, peaceful surroundings and cute, friendly dogs.

Baie rustige en stil omgewing.

Veilige omgewing, baie rustige en stil omgewing.

Baie lekker tyd gehad.

Sal dit definitief weer doen.

Baie lekker voel soos jou eie huis.

Dit is naby alles, het 'n rustige atmosfeer in 'n baie veilige omgewing. Die uitsig is asemrowend en die eenheid was baie skoon. Ek beveel dit aan.

Awesome. Die beste wegbreek ooit, rustig en veilige omgewing, vriendelike gasheer. Wat kan 'n mens meer vra.

Die week by Imhoff's Gift het ons rerig verfris en uitgerus laat voel. Daar is meer as genoeg om te doen in die omgewing in en om Kommetjie, maar as jy die dag net wil rustig by die huis wees of braai met vriende is dit net die regte plek om te bespreek. Die ongelooflike uitsig oor die vlei en die strand en berge maak dit baie moeilik om op te pak om weer terug huiswaarts te keer. Dankie Luke vir 'n wondelike tyd daar by julle. Ons het dit baie geniet.

Dit was regtig 'n plesier.

Luke was 'n ongelooflike gasheer en laat jou onmiddellik tuis voel. Ek en my vrou het vir 'n week oorgebly en dit was absoluut die moeite werd. Die verkeer uit Kommetjie uit was bietjie erg, aangesien ons elke oggend 08:00 reeds in Rondebosch moes wees. Afgesien van die verkeer het ons regtig geen klagtes nie. Dit was regtig 'n plesier om hier oor te bly. Baie dankie Luke vir jou gasvryheid.

It offered the peace and quiet that a city couple like us needed and yet it was a stone through away from all that city life offer.

Friendly service, cleanliness and privacy topped it all for us.

It was really awesome. Thank you very very much for Luke for making our stay at Happy Home wonderful.

The host Luke was very friendly and did all he could to make our stay at Happy Home great.

Dit was wonderlik. Vertel al my vriende so ver as ek gaan. Sal weer soontoe gaan.

Ie wonderlikste uitsig van bo. Die gasvryheid van die eienaar was fantasties. Ek beveel sy plek definitief aan.

Was baie lekker.

Nie dat dit ons gepla het nie, maar sal net 'n nota maak dat daar honde is vir as iemand sou allergies wees of wat ook al. Maar was 'n baie lekker plek, en het heeltemal tuis gevoel.

A nice place away from city life.

It was just one happy experience, so tranquil.

Dit was meer as wat ons voor kon vra.

Die ruimte, gerief, netheid, uitsig, beskikbare geriewe - alles het bygedrae tot 'n ongelooflike verblyf by Imhoff's Gift. Ons het gevoel of ons by ons eie huis is.

Ons het dit baie baie geniet en Luck was so nice. Baie dankie.

Ons was mal oor ons kamer en ook die mooi uitsig wat met dit kom kon nie beter gekry het nie. Dankie julle.

Gasvry, vriendelik, tuis gevoel.

Sal enigetyd weer daar gaan bly.

Awesone, het baie lekker gekuier, was net te kort. Volgende keer 10 dae.

Ek sou niks meer wil hê, als is daar. Hulle gasvryheid is puik, baie dankie.

Excellent venue with a nice and friendly host.

The facility was extremely nice and clean. Beautiful grounds and pleasant environment. A bit too quiet for me without any DSTV or normal channels. Dogs were also nice.

Waarde vir geld en sal beslis aanbeveel.

Kamers is baie gerieflik met 'n uitstekende uitsig. Baie gasvrye en welkome atmosfeer.

Veilig, maar die verkeer te besig uit Kommetjie uit.

Sal verkies om TV in kamer te hê. Die huis word gedeel met die eienaar en alhoewel daar voorgestel was om die kombuis te gebruik soos ek goeddink, vind ek dat dit bietjie inbraak maak op die eienaar se plek. Vir die prys per aand sou ek bietjie meer verwag het.

A lovely holiday and the hosts were super friendly and helpful.

A relaxing stay. Friendly environment and comfortable accommodation.

Home away from home, vir seker.

Ons het elke oomblik daar geniet en die gasheer het uit sy pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel.

Wonderlik.

Hierdie is beslis 'n "Happy Home", 'n wonderlike geskenk van 'n blyplek.

Ons het tuis gevoel en die atmosfeer geniet.

Luke het ons so tuis laat voel en ons het besluit om hierdie jaar ons kinders ook saam te neem wanneer ons gaan bespreek.

Was fantasties.

Werd vir geld, sal weer gaan, het goeie diens gekry, baie dankie Luke.
