Baie lekker gebly en kan enige tyd aanbeveel. Lekker swembad ook vir warm dae.

Baie lekker gebly en sal weer kom. Lekker omgewing, mooi gastehuis. Kamer is op boonste verdieping en badkamer onder, maar ons het dit geweet. Pragtige eenheid.

Die koel kamer en lieflike swembad was 'n welkome gesig op 'n 40° C somersdag!

Pragtige akkommodasie en vriendelike diens. Ons is vooraf gewaarsku dat die mure nie klankdig tussen die eenhede is nie en ons het dit eerstehands ervaar toe ons bure 4h00 die volgende oggend opgestaan het (en hulle alarm vanaf 5h00-5h30 elke 5 minute afgegaan het). Maar ten spyte hiervan, het ons baie lekker gebly - ons het dit geniet om in die swembad af te koel en ontbyt was heerlik gewees.

The cool room and lovely pool was a welcome sight on a 40° C summer day!

Beautiful accommodation and friendly service. We were warned in advance that the walls are not soundproof between the units and we experienced this first hand when our neighbors got up at 4:00am the next morning (and their alarm went off every 5 minutes from 5:00-5:30am). But despite this, we had a very nice stay - we enjoyed cooling off in the pool and breakfast was delicious.

Ons het 2 nagte oorgebly en was baie hartlik ontvang deur vriendelike personeel. Ons het heerlik gebraai en gekuier by die braai-area voor ontvangs. Die springbokkies wat los rondloop was natuurlik ook 'n groot hoogtepunt.

Mooi.

Dit was 'n gemaklike blyplek. Hulle het 'n kot ingesig wat baie bedagsaam was. Dit is regtig 'n baie mooi plek. Ontbyt was heerlik. Die villas is vir 4 persone, maar definitief nie 4 volwassenes nie. Eerder 2 volwassenes en 2 kinders. Daar was nie handdoeke beskikbaar vir die additionele persone nie. Die villa kom voor asof dit opgeset is vir 2. Die gemeenskaplike Jacuzzi en wasgoeddienste is slegs beskikbaar teen additionele kostes wat nie op die advertensie duidelik gemaak word nie. Ons het gevra dat daar nie gedurende ons verblyf skoongemaak word nie. Ons het uitgegaan vir die dag en met terugkom kon ons sien die versoek was van die hand gewys en dat iemand wel binne ons villa was.

Pretty.

It was a comfortable place to stay. They saw a cottage that was very considerate. It is really a very beautiful place. Breakfast was delicious. The villas are for 4 persons, but definitely not 4 adults. Rather 2 adults and 2 children. There were no towels available for the additional persons. The villa appears as if it is set up for 2. The communal Jacuzzi and laundry services are only available at additional costs which are not made clear on the advertisement. We asked that no cleaning be done during our stay. We went out for the day and upon returning we could see that the request had been declined and that someone was indeed inside our villa.

Beste Kasandra, baie dankie dat julle by Karoo Retreat tuis gegaan het. Dit was lekker om julle te kon ontmoet. Ons is regtig baie jammer omtrent die misverstand van die skoonmaakdiens. Met julle volgende besoek sal ons vir julle 'n komplimentêre Jacuzzi-sessie bespreek. Vriendelike groete, Karoo Retreat Span.

Disappointing at first, but better later.

We ended up staying licks yes, but. Upon our arrival, the receptionist immediately apologized that we had to sleep in the room according to the reception - only and last room. She offered that we could move on Sunday morning. We had quite a bit of trouble turning on the TV, and when we came back from a concert and wanted to watch TV, there was no way we could make it work. It was quite cold and there was no air conditioning. The heater that was there was broken, and when my wife went to report it, the lady simply offered to "go pack it away". Some Alfa Romeo club was also at home there and the next morning it was quite rowdy in the adjacent breakfast area. The wiring to the TV was sloppy and the toilet seat loose. There was no hanging cupboard and very little seating in the room and bathroom. Sunday morning we moved to a much better room and, although there was still no wardrobe or hangers, it was a better option and we were even able to enjoy the last of the Olympics on TV.

It was a very unpleasant stay.

I would like to share my unhappiness with Karoo Retreat Gastehuis. I booked one of their Comfort family units for two adults, but when we arrived, we were given one of their luxury villas. The stay in the villas was very noisy because it is connected to three other units, and you could hear every conversation of the people that stayed next to us. One couple had small children, and that was even worse. We booked for self-catering, but there was no cutlery or utensils other than two teaspoons, cups, and glasses. We could not make any porridge or warm up food.

Karoo Retreat Gastehuis 's response

Dear Percival, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We would like to apologise for the unpleasant stay. It's unfortunate that you did not contact reception to resolve the issue, we would have happily upgraded you to another room. We hope that you will consider staying with us again to enjoy a better experience at our little oasis.
Kind regards,
Reservations

The visit and service were nice, Lettie and Rina tried.

I am extremely disappointed that I booked a room with air conditioning and only got a ceiling fan, the incandescent light didn't work either. The shower pressure is weak. We stayed uncomfortably, it clearly said the room was a standard room in the main house. This was a standard room in the restaurant.

Rustig, mooi en lekker.

Die plek is pragtig en rustig. Personeel is vriendelik. Sou wel verkies dat personeel nie direk voor die villa deurbeweeg nie. Dit versteur die rustige atmosfeer en maak inbreuk op jou privaatheid.

Quiet, beautiful and nice.

The place is beautiful and peaceful. Staff is friendly. Would prefer that staff do not pass directly in front of the villa. It disturbs the peaceful atmosphere and invades your privacy.

Pragtige verblyf! Karoo Retreat Gastehuis is tops.

Ons is hartlik verwelkom deur die dames by ontvangs. Die inligting en inboekproses het maklik verloop. Die kamer was ruim en het alles gehad wat ons kon benodig. Die badkamer het genoeg pakplek gehad. Daar was genoeg warm water. Die kamers is smaakvol en luuks! Aandag word geskenk aan dekor, verblyf, die tuin en swembad area! 'n Vriendelike kat het die verblyf ekstra spesiaal gemaak. Die beddegoed was skoon en snoesig.

Beautiful stay! Karoo Retreat Guesthouse is tops.

We were warmly welcomed by the ladies at reception. The information and check-in process was easy. The room was spacious and had everything we could need. The bathroom had enough storage space. There was plenty of hot water. The rooms are tasteful and luxurious! Attention is given to decor, accommodation, the garden and pool area! A friendly cat made the stay extra special. The bedding was clean and cozy.

Heerlike netjiese en skoon gastehuis. Pragtige tuine en swembad. Kinders kon heerlik swem en krieket speel op die gras. Lettie die gasvrou was baie gaaf en het ons baie welkom laat voel.

Mooi maar onprakties met slaapplek bo en badkamer en wit trappe teen wit vloer.

Die fasiliteite is pragtig, met 'n lieflike swembad. Hoewel die eenheid skoon in wit vertoon is, is dit onprakties met die badkamer op die onderste vloer en die slaapkamer op die loft. Die wit vloer en wit trappe het nie genoeg kontras geskep nie en 'n onveilige gevoel geskep. Die kamer het ook nie afgekoel in die nag nie omdat daar nie goeie lug deurvloei is nie en met beurtkrag het die lugversorging nie gewerk nie. Dit was ook steurend dat die vertrek nie donker genoeg was met vensters wat te hoog is vir gordyne.

Beautiful but impractical with sleeping space upstairs and bathroom and white stairs against white floor.

The facilities are beautiful, with a lovely swimming pool. Although the unit is presented cleanly in white, it is impractical with the bathroom on the lower floor and the bedroom on the loft. The white floor and white stairs did not create enough contrast and created an unsafe feeling. The room also did not cool down at night because there was no good air flow and with load shedding the air conditioning did not work. It was also disturbing that the room was not dark enough with windows that were too high for curtains.

Beste Vera, baie dankie vir jou resensie, ons waardeer dit opreg. Ons is so bly om te hoor dat jy ons fasiliteite en swembad geniet het, net jammer dat jy nie die kwessie van die eenheid met trappe by Ontvangs gerapporteer het nie. Ons sou julle graag na een van ons ander eenhede verskuif het. Ons hoop dat jy weer by Karoo Retreat sal tuisgaan om 'n beter ervaring in een van ons ander eenhede te geniet.
