Gerieflik en gemaklik.

Gerieflike, netjiese en gemaklike verblyf met alles wat ons nodig het. Die eienaar het ons vriendelik verwelkom en alles gewys. Ek sal wel voorstel dat 'n aparte WiFi-router vir die woonstel verskaf word, aangesien die WiFi baie sleg was en ons glad nie die TV kon koppel nie. Ekstra kussings dalk ook vir die slaapbank. Maar algeheel het ons lekker gebly. Lugverkoeling was 'n lewensredder in Kimberley se hitte.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Convenient and comfortable.

Comfortable, neat and comfortable accommodation with everything we need. The owner welcomed us kindly and showed us everything. I would suggest that a separate WiFi router be provided for the apartment as the WiFi was very bad and we couldn't connect the TV at all. Extra pillows maybe also for the sofa bed. But overall we had a nice stay. Air cooling was a lifesaver in Kimberley's heat.

Geen reels teen mure, advertensie dui aan dat daar WiFi is, was nie 'n probleem vir ons nie.

Op ons aankoms was die eienaar nie baie vriendelik nie. Hy het onmiddellik op ons begin omdat ons met 4 was en net vir 3 bespreek het. Ek het probeer verduidelik. Gelukkig het sy vrou opgedaag, 'n baie gawe dame, en ons kon tot 'n ooreenkoms kom. Ons het onmiddellik die volgende dag ander verblyf gekry. Het verskriklik ongemaklik gevoel na die man se benadering.

No lines on walls, advertisement indicates that there is WiFi, was not a problem for us.

On our arrival the owner was not very friendly. He started on us immediately because we were 4 and only booked for 3. I tried to explain. Fortunately, his wife arrived, a very nice lady, and we were able to come to an agreement. We immediately found other accommodation the next day. Felt terribly uncomfortable after the man's approach.

Ons het die televisie vervang met 'n nuwe toestel.
Die woonstel beskik oor privaatheid aangesien dit apart is van die huis, dit het sy eie ingang en privaat braaiplekkie.

My skoondogter het wakker geword in die bed met 'n bosluis op haar gesig. Swak.

Nee, ek het die plek gereël vir my seun en sy vrou met hulle baba. Hulle het nie lekker gebly nie, die plek is in 'n swak en vuil buurt. Daar was net een handdoek in die badkamer, geen eetgerei ens. Hulle het die gasvrou nie een keer gesien gedurende hulle verblyf om te kla/vra nie.

My daughter-in-law woke up in bed with a tick on her face. Weak.

No, I arranged the place for my son and his wife with their baby. They didn't have a nice stay, the place is in a poor and dirty neighborhood. There was only one towel in the bathroom, no cutlery etc. They did not see the hostess once during their stay to complain/ask.

The owner was very rude.

There was no house number on the property, making it difficult to find. The location pin sent me to the house next door, and the owners were not in Kimberley. The owner was unable to communicate in a decent manner over the phone and became aggressive and rude. There is a loose dog on the property that barks at you, even at night. Additionally, there was a flashing light from the neighbor's property shining through our window, making it difficult to sleep. The WiFi inside the flat is very weak.

Baie dankie vir u resensie,maar ongelukkig stem ons nie heeltemal saam met u oor sekere punte nie.
Daar is niks fout met die ketel nie. Dit was na u ook gebruik deur ander gaste en daar was geen kritiek. Mense se opinies oor waardes verskil so baie, ons respekteer dit.
Ons hekke is elke aand gesluit,en die deure kan ook sluit. Die woonstel is ook toegerus met ’n veiligheidshek.
Ons plek is veilig en dus voel ons dat 2/5 nie die ware terugvoering is nie en ons kan dit bevestig met vorige resensies.
Wees asb. eerlik in die vervolg wat dit aan betref.

Nie Kimberley se diamant nie!

Plek sentraal geleë, maar voldoen nie aan die gewone standaarde nie. Alhoewel die plek self skoon was, was daar vuil merke op die sitkamer banke, die TV was oud met slegte beeld. Daar is ook nie aandag gegee aan detail nie. Joan's rest het ongelukkig nie aan ons verwagtinge voldoen nie.

Netheid en waarde is juis iets waaraan ons baie aandag gee.

Ons plek is altyd skoon en dis n leun dat die banke vuil was.

Ons is nie n ster gegradeerde plek nie, maar voldoen steeds aan die verwagte vereistes vir gerieflike oorslaap met kwaliteit oorslaap geriewe. As u dus dan hoë ster gegradeerde verwagtinge het, boek dan by n ster gegradeerde plek in die vervolg.

Ons is seker nie Kimberley se diamant nie, maar definitief n wolkie met n goue randjie.

Julle het ook vensters oop gelos terwyl dit gereen het.

Gerieflik. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het en goed geleë (naby die dorp).

Ons het net een nag oorgebly. Alles het gewerk. Daar was genoeg komberse vir die koue en ook handdoeke. Daar was selfs koffie/tee en melk vir ons. Netjies. Skoon. Stort werk lekker. Definitief aan te bevele.

Baie gesellige plek met vriendelike diens.

Die omligging (veld oorkant die verblyf) en pad is in `n swak toestand. Alhoewel dit nie die eienaar van Joan`s Rest se verantwoordelikheid is nie mag dit toekomstige kliënte afskrik. Ek sal definitief weer van hul diens gebruik maak. WiFi fasiliteite sal defnitief 'n pluspunt vir hulle wees.

Kon nie slaap nie as gevolg van sproeierstelsel.

Elke 2 minute en 26 sekondes (ja, ek het dit gemeet) gaan die sproeierstelsel aan en skakel kort daarna weer af. Die watertenk is teen-aan die venster van die hoofslaapkamer en die lawaai, in die stilte van die nag, is oorverdowend. Ek kon geen slaap inkry as gevolg hiervan nie, en is moeg-moeg die volgende dag voort. Ons het laat opgedaag (my fout, nie dié van Joan's Rest nie) en 'n halfuur gesukkel om Joan's Rest in die donker te vind. Nêrens kon ons 'n bordjie of die straatnommer vind nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Couldn't sleep because of sprinkler system.

Every 2 minutes and 26 seconds (yes, I measured it) the sprinkler system turns on and turns off shortly thereafter. The water tank is opposite the window of the master bedroom and the noise, in the silence of the night, is deafening. I couldn't get any sleep because of this, and am tired-tired the next day. We arrived late (my fault, not Joan's Rest) and spent half an hour struggling to find Joan's Rest in the dark. Nowhere could we find a sign or the street number.

Die blyplek is skoon en aan die kant, maar ietwat afgeleef. Die omgewing is stil en rustig, maar geen wonderlike uitsig deur vensters. 'n Goeie plek om net te oornag.

As bed en bank vervang word mag ons wel weer dit oorweeg om daar te bly.

Joan se plekkie was regtig skoon en netjies. Die bed en bank moet net beslis vervang word. Dit slaap en sit glad nie meer baie gemaklik nie. Water was lekker warm, maar koue kraan te styf om oop te draai. Warm kraan se knop val af. Verder was plek regtig skoon en het baie lekker gebruik. Die sjokolade was ook spesiaal.
