Skoon, netjiese verblyf in 'n rustige buurt.

Ons is baie tevrede en het lekker gebly.

Beautiful old house close to important amenities.

Felt like a leap back in time. Beautiful view of the mountain from the back courtyard.

Ons het ons tyd in Graaff-Reinet en Historic Old-fashioned Cottage baie geniet - die huis was vol karakter en baie mooi.

Met ons eerste aand daar was daar ongelukkig geen water in die huis nie - ek verstaan dat daar nie water in die dorp is tydens beurtkrag nie, maar nadat die krag weer aangekom het was daar nogsteeds nie water nie. Dit het wel die volgende dag weer gewerk. Ek sal voorstel dat die huis bietjie opgegradeer word om dit meer "loadshedding proof" te maak soos meeste van die ander gastehuise in Graaff-Reinet. Die handdoeke het nie regtig skoon/vars geruik nie, ons het gelukkig ons eie handdoeke ingepak en kon dit gebruik. Dit is waarlik my enigste klagtes - ons het verder die huis baie geniet.

We really enjoyed our time in Graaff-Reinet and Historic Old-fashioned Cottage - the house was full of character and very beautiful.

On our first night there unfortunately there was no water in the house - I understand that there is no water in the town during load shedding, but after the power came back on there was still no water. It did work again the next day. I would suggest that the house be upgraded a bit to make it more "loadshedding proof" like most of the other guest houses in Graaff-Reinet. The towels didn't really smell clean/fresh, luckily we packed our own towels and were able to use them. These are really my only complaints - we really enjoyed the house.

Stap terug in tyd tussen die kosbare oudhede. Pragtig!

Sal aanbeveel dat daar kragopwekker voorsien word aangesien Graaff-Reinet 6 ure loadshedding op 'n slag het. Geen diefwering voor vensters so ons kan nie oopmaak vir koel lug nie. Was ongelooflik warm gewees. Sleg dat motor in straat moet staan. Pragtige oudhede wat ons met groot oë bewonder het.

Step back in time among the precious antiques. Beautiful!

Would recommend that a generator be provided as Graaff-Reinet has 6 hours of loadshedding at a time. No burglar bars in front of windows so we can't open for cool air. Was incredibly hot. It is bad that the car has to be parked in the street. Beautiful antiques that we admired with wide eyes.

Dit was die regte keuse vir 'n plek om in Graaff Reinett te oornag.

Annatjie was uiters behulpsaam, ten spyte van die feit dat sy nie in persoon daar was nie. Om van 'n eietydse na 'n eertydse omgewing in te stap was 'n belewenis gewees. So baie om te besigtig en waar te neem. Beslis 'n plek om te oornag.

It was the right choice for a place to spend the night in Graaff Reinett.

Annatjie was extremely helpful, despite the fact that she was not there in person. Walking from a contemporary to an ancient environment had been an experience. So much to view and observe. Definitely a place to stay the night.

Gerieflik en ruim.

Huis is goed uitgerus en gerieflik met ruim kamers en badkamers. Daar is geen WiFi en die matrasse is baie hard en ongemaklik. Huis was ook redelik stowwerig gewees.

Celestè,
Dankie vir jou terugvoering. Ek het die skoonmaker attent gemaak dat haar werk nie aanvaarbaar is nie, ek woon ongelukkig 180 km weg.
Ek sal opnuut aandag gee aan die Wi-Fi. Dit is veronderstel om te werk.
Die matras situasie sal ek toets.
Groete
Annatjie

Pleasant stopover.

A very quaint place that feels like you are staying in someone's home. Value for money is rated 3 star because we were only 2, but it sleeps 4 which makes it good value. Well located, parking on the street made me slightly nervous but was not a problem. I liked the extra touch of basic toiletries and medications. All told, it's a good spot for an overnight or better still as a base for exploring the area.

Lekker verblyf

Lekker groot, ruim vertrekke en baie interessant gemeubileur. Area is baie stil en het heerlike stoep om te kuier na 'n lang rit. Gasheer doen moeite om mens te verwelkom. Sal met graagte weer hier wil bly.

Heerlik gekuier voor houtstofie en lekker speletjies gespeel om tafel.

Geen werksplek in kombuis, te vol. Geen WiFi alhoewel op website gesê is daar is. Een bed het nie elektriese kombers gehad nie. Braaigeriewe kan verbeter. Lieflike ou meubels en heerlike houtstofie. Beddegoed oud.

Lovely time in front of wood dust and nice games played around the table.

No work place in kitchen, too full. No WiFi even though the website says there is. One bed did not have an electric blanket. Braai facilities could improve. Lovely old furniture and lovely wood dust. Bedding old.
