Hallo Jhf, dankie vir die resensie. Ons sal dit gebruik om Katinka te verbeter. In elke eenheid is daar net genoeg koppies ens. vir die hoeveelheid mense wat ons kan akkommodeer in die eenheid.

Vreeslik vuil!

Dit is die vuilste plek waarin ons probeer slaap het. Met die aankoms het die vrou die skuifdeur oopgemaak en 'n vrot walm het my gevang. Ek het maar gehoop dit sal weggaan as die deur en vensters oop is, maar dit was nie weg nie. Ons het al die vensters die hele nag oopgehou en probeer slaap, maar kon nie. Dit het bly stink en natuurlik het die muskiete jou ook bygekom. A.g.v. loadshedding het ons nie Vrydagaand al die vuil dadelik gesien nie, maar Saterdagoggend toe ons opstaan, het ons net besef ons kan nie vir 'n naweek daar bly nie. Veral nadat my skoonseun 1ste gaan stort het en die water in die stort soos 'n bad opgedam het, was dit die laaste strooi. Jy staan lekker in 'n dam water wat nie dreineer nie. En die spinnekoppe en spinnerakke en vuil vloere en mure. Nee, sies! Daardie plek sien ons nooit ooit weer nie. Dan reken die vrou wat seker die opsigter is, hulle het skoongemaak. Sy moet nog gaan leer wat skoonmaak is. Ek het foto's van die plek. Ons het in die Penguin probeer tuisgaan. Ek wag nog vir hulle om my breekskadedeposito van R1000 terug te betaal. Hulle wou eers R2 000 breekskadedeposito gehad het. Ons het nie eens hul breekware of iets gebruik nie. Ek het my eie saamgevat.

Terribly dirty!

This is the dirtiest place we have tried to sleep in. Upon arrival, the woman opened the sliding door and a rotten smell caught me. I just hoped it would go away when the door and windows were open, but it didn't go away. We kept all the windows open all night and tried to sleep but couldn't. It continued to stink and of course the mosquitoes got to you too. Because of loadshedding we didn't see all the dirt right away on Friday night, but on Saturday morning when we got up, we just realized we couldn't stay there for a weekend. Especially after my son-in-law took a shower 1st and the water in the shower pooled like a bathtub, that was the last straw. You are standing comfortably in a pool of water that does not drain. And the spiders and cobwebs and dirty floors and walls. No, sis! We never see that place again. Then the woman who is probably the caretaker reckons they have cleaned. She has yet to learn what cleaning is. I have pictures of the place. We tried to make ourselves at home in the Penguin. I am still waiting for them to refund my damage deposit of R1000. They first wanted a R2 000 breakage deposit. We didn't even use their crockery or anything. I gathered my own.

It was accommodating, comfortable and relaxing.

Dealing with the website is always a pleasure, however it's not always the same when arriving at the destination and meeting an individual or owner. However one just makes the best of it. Others in the group thought a pop-in would have been welcomed to hear if everything's still okay but like I said we made the best and most of our stay.

Onvriendelike gasvrou. Het glad nie welkom gevoel nie.

Kombuisarea (eenplaatstofie en broodrooster vuil). Baie swak linne (lakens voel soos seil), geen tuin met 'n grasperk en bankie of ommuurde area soos aangedui op foto nie. Baie onveilig vir 'n 2-jarige peuter.

Unfriendly hostess. Didn't feel welcome at all.

Kitchen area (single plate stove and toaster dirty). Very poor linen (sheets feel like canvas), no garden with a lawn and bench or walled area as shown in photo. Very unsafe for a 2 year old toddler.

Die akkommodasie het voldoen aan ons behoefte. Ons het net 'n bed met 'n oornagfasiliteit gesoek. Ek sal dit nie aanbeveel vir vakansieverblyf nie.

Ons het die volle bedrag betaal met die bespreking. Tydens ons reis het ons 'n boodskap van die eienaar gekry dat ons 'n deposito van R500 vir moontlike breekskade moes betaal. Dis die eerste keer dat so iets van ons vereis word. Ek dink die eienaar moet die inligting op hul profiel aandui. Om ekstra oorbetalings tydens jou reis te doen is ongerieflik.

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

The accommodation met our needs. We were just looking for a bed with an overnight facility. I would not recommend this for a holiday stay.

We paid the full amount with the reservation. During our trip we got a message from the owner that we had to pay a deposit of R500 for possible breakages. It's the first time that something like this has been required of us. I think the owner should indicate the information on their profile. Making extra transfers during your trip is inconvenient.

Lekker stil en rustige buurt.

Die huis is netjies en goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is vir 'n gemaklike verblyf, maar die afwerking soos verf en pleisterwerk kort aandag. Mens sukkel ook om die vensters oop en toe te maak. Die gras was lank en ou boumateriaal langs die huis lyk onnet.

Nice quiet and peaceful neighborhood.

The house is neat and well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, but the finishing such as paint and plastering needs attention. One also has difficulty opening and closing the windows. The grass was long and old building materials next to the house looked untidy.

No privacy. Curtains always closed or people in the street look directly in.

Sliding glass door cannot lock. Was going to replace lock but didn't. Call me last night, forgot to put in power. Toilet seat and lid dirty, smeared, between rails. Sink was not clean. It's a single garage, almost on the street, which has been converted with a double bed. Two persons can hardly move in the place. Sit and eat in bed against pillows, otherwise no person can move around. Had to ask for my deposit on the eighth day and continuously after that. They promise to send proof.

Die basiese goed is daar, maar is 'n mengelmoes van breekware. Die plek kort opknapping.

Die huis kort instandhouding en die buite-area is nie skoon nie. Die ddame het aangedui dat hulle beplan om nuwe heining en hek voor op te sit. Buite asblik en 'n kraan buite sal ook help. Plek is baie onpersoonlik en laat jou nie dink aan 'n huis by die see nie.

The basics are there, but are a hodgepodge of crockery. The place needs renovation.

The house lacks maintenance and the outside area is not clean. The lady indicated that they plan to put up a new fence and gate in front. Outside trash and a faucet outside will also help. Place is very impersonal and does not remind you of a house by the sea.

Would not recommend the Oyster self catering accommodation to anyone. Friends who invited us along were extremely unhappy and were an absolute huge embarrassment to us who did the booking.

Oyster self-catering accommodation's advertising is also extremely misleading. The unit was not cleaned and bedding was dirty. This unit does not have a kitchen sink or tap for running water, while it is advertised as a self-catering accommodation. To wash dishes, a small plastic dish is provided in which dishes are washed. Water must be tapped in the bathroom by toilet which is definitely not acceptable. Thanks to the neighbor who was helpful in providing clean linen. The large self-catering house that was also booked was comfortable and well equipped. Only a fan in the master bedroom would have been a plus point.

Baie lekker en gerieflik ingerig. Lieflike ligging en vriendelike gasvrou. Oor algemeen baie goeie herinneringe!

Enigste kritiek is die feit dat die gras nie gesny was nie en onnet tuin. Dan sou ons graag ons eie braaigeriewe wou gehad het, maar het sommer self 'n klein braai gekoop. Dit was heerlik om in aand op die stoep te sit en braai.

Only criticism is the fact that the grass was not cut and untidy garden. Then we would have liked to have our own braai facilities, but simply bought a small braai ourselves. It was lovely to sit on the stoep in the evening and have a barbecue.

I had the Oyster Room which was adequate for my needs but I spent most of my time with my daughter and family 15 min. walking distance away.

Upside: Conveniently located for my needs. Clean towels and linen timeously provided. Downside: Dishwashing facilities inadequate. Only handbasin and 2 plastic basins provided. No opening window, just the sliding door at entrance for ventilation.
