Wow die huis perfek, veral vir kinders vanweë die swembad. Rustigheid tops.

Paternoster baie uniek, rustigheid, pragtige see, vriendelikheid van die dorp se mense, alles binne stapafstand. Joyful perfekte huis.

Die verblyf en huis regverdig nie die fooi per dag nie. Hopeloos te veel.

Die handdoeke was stukkend en geskif. By ons klagte is gevra of ons dit so gekry het. En toe die handdoeke vervang is weer gekry wat stukkend is. Die linne nie behoorlik gepas op die bed nie. Daar is 'n groot tekort aan basiese kombuisgereedskap. Geen perkuleerder. Houtborde is gedaan. Te min plastiese houers en dan klomp deksels sonder bakke. Huis was nie behoorlik skoongemaak nie. Houtstoel stukkend. Plastiese tafel buite het uitmekaargeval gelukkig sonder kos of glase op. Baie raserig in omgewing. Een kamer het geen hangers gehad om klere op te hang nie. Sal ongelukkig nie hierdie verblyf kan aanbeveel vir die fooi wat gehef word nie. Die swembad was 'n pluspunt. Een toilet sitplek was stukkend en herstel na klagte. Die skoppie en besempie het beter dae gesien en moes regtig al lankal vervang gewees het. Lyk sleg.

The accommodation and house do not justify the fee per day. Hopelessly too much.

The towels were torn and chipped. With our complaint, we were asked if we got it that way. And when the towels were replaced, they were found to be broken. The linen not properly fitted on the bed. There is a severe shortage of basic kitchen utensils. No percolator. Wooden boards are done. Too few plastic containers and then lots of lids without bowls. House was not properly cleaned. Wooden chair broken. Plastic table outside fell apart luckily without food or glasses on it. Very noisy in surroundings. One room had no hangers to hang clothes. Unfortunately would not be able to recommend this accommodation for the fee charged. The pool was a plus. One toilet seat was broken and repaired after complaint. The shovel and broom have seen better days and really should have been replaced a long time ago. Looks bad.

Rustig, my kinders het dit geniet.

Alles was perfek. Dis net die parkeerplek vir die voertuie wat ons bietjie onrustig laat voel het.

Relax, my kids enjoyed it.

Everything was perfect. It's only the parking for the vehicles that made us feel a little uneasy.

Alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n self-catering-plekkie.

Die kinders het baie lekker in die swembadjie geswem. Gerieflike plekkie.

Rustic.

Oulike huisie met onortodokse uitleg waarvan ons baie hou. Baie goed toegerus met alles wat nodig mag wees behalwe 'n swartpotjie. Die eenheid het dalk net verby die punt van rustic geglip en lyk nie meer so netjies soos op die foto's nie, veral buite en om die swembad. Dak lek op verskeie plekke en mure kort 'n nuwe laag verf en algemene aandag. Maar steeds lekker gekuier.

We slept for 2 days as we wanted to say good bye to Paternoster as we are immigrating.

2 doors were not opening (maintenance did attend). Not enough water in the pool, had to switch off the pump, otherwise it made a horrible sound. Dirty rags and rocks at the bottom of one of the doors to keep wind out I guess (doesn’t look good). Spider webs, property not well cleaned. Found underwear in the drawers from previous occupants. Furniture looking tired, full of spots and frilling. Carpet under dining room table.

Hi Ruby, thanks so much for the feedback. We attended to the problems mentioned by you during your stay, we were however unaware of the rest of it as mentioned in your review and will attend to these too. We are really sorry to hear that your stay did not turn out to be good, and would like to make up for this should you be visiting SA again. Please make sure to let us know of this.

Parkering was 'n probleem, die geyser was nie aangesit, so ons moes wag tot Saterdagmiddag laat voor ons warm water gehad het.

Daar was 'n gat in die ceiling en die rook het in die een kamer gegaan as gevolg daarvan. Die swembad was vuil.

Parking was a problem, the geyser was not on, so we had to wait until late Saturday afternoon before we had hot water.

There was a hole in the ceiling and the smoke went into one room because of that. The pool was dirty.

Hi Madra, baie dankie vir die terugvoering. Dis baie jammer dat jy ons nie tydens jou verblyf gekontak of ingelig het omtrent hierdie probleme nie siende dat jy gebel het oor die warmwater toestel waarvoor ons volle verantwoordelikheid vat. Parkering is langs die huis gelee vir een kar (soos wat jul parkeer het), indien meer karre parkeer hul in die sirkel by die ingangs hek na die huis. Ons was nie bewus van 'n gat in die dak nie en die swembad was die oggend met jul aankoms skoongemaak, ons verstaan die wind het taamlik gewaai en die swembad was vol sand, iets waaroor ons nie rerig beheer het nie. Ons gee egter onmiddellik aandag aan die probleme soos deurgegee, baie dankie hiervoor. Ons hoop ons kan jul eendag weer terug verwelkom onder beter omstandighede.

Relaxing and fun.

The pool was a bonus, kids swam day and night. Maybe have an iron available. Would love to visit winter time.

The house itself is gorgeous only it doesn't quite go with its surroundings.

Inside braai and fireplace a bit of a hazard, smoke inhalation. Service was phenomenal, however not our ideal location. We will however visit Paternoster always. Paternoster is chilled.
