Historic house in an historic city--both could use some TLC.

I received a different room than booked, so I was uncertain. However, the host and his wife were very welcoming, and I learned a lot from him and other guests about the current status. Quiet room and comfortable (older) bed. Some maintenance would be in order, but I understand the situation. A lovely old house and a nice location--in a town that has seen better times. I hope to visit again!

Wonderlik.

Dit was rerig baie lekker gewees, dit was stil en die ontbyt was 100%. Die oom het ons van die geskiedenis vertel van die gebou en omgewing. 100% teverde gewees met die gasvryheid.

Wonderful.

It was really very nice, it was quiet and the breakfast was 100%. The uncle told us about the history of the building and surroundings. 100% satisfied with the hospitality.

Slegs oorgeslaap. Gasheer was baie tegemoetkomend en hulpvaardig.

Heerlik gebly, wonderlik ouwêrelds. Sal wel aanbeveel dat die beddegoed en gordyne redelik dringend vervang word, dit sal 'n groot verskil maak. Als was skoon, maar regtig oud en wys die tekens van die tye.

Only slept over. Host was very accommodating and helpful.

Wonderful stay, wonderfully old world. Would recommend that the bedding and curtains be replaced quite urgently, it would make a big difference. Als was clean, but really old and showing the signs of the times.

Ongelooflik.

Die plek is altyd skoon en netjies. Dit was die tweede keer dat ons daar bly en die huis en die geskiedenis rondom dit is net asemrowend. Plankvloere en ou meubels deur die huis.

Unbelievable.

The place is always clean and tidy. It was the second time we stayed there and the house and the history around it is just breathtaking. Plank floors and old furniture throughout the house.

Baie lekker huislike atmosfeer.

'n Ouwêreldse atmosfeer kompleet met antieke meubels en gasvryheid (selfs die matras dateer uit die vorige eeu met springs wat jou in die rug steek as jy darop slaap). Baie lekker gebly.

Very nice homely atmosphere.

An old world atmosphere complete with antique furniture and hospitality (even the mattress dates from the last century with springs that stab you in the back when you sleep on it). Very nice stay.

The location is the biggest asset of this place. Bathroom area is not ideal for mildly overweight persons.

Despite a peaceful couple of nights spent at the guesthouse, my experience was crucially dampened by transparent blinds that inhibited security and privacy. The under spaced bathroom resulted in a couple of painful extremities that did not help the situation.

It was good, but the bathroom could be renovated.

Had a nice stay. Guest house was a bit difficult to reach by motorbike and the parking area is a bit problematic. The roads in the area are poor. Bathroom could be redone. The TV in the room is very small and oddly placed.

Ons het verkies om nie daar te bly nie.

Die feit dat dit 'n ou huis is het ons nie gepla nie, maar die kamer was bedompig, die beddegoed oud en kussings was vol vlekke. Die spasie waar die toilet is is verskriklik klein. Iemand wat effe oorgewig is gaan sukkel om sy ding te doen! Die botteltjie waarin die koffie was, was vuil en aangepak van ou koffie. Suikerpot was feitlik leeg. Dit was duidelik dat geen moeite gedoen is om gaste te laat tuis voel nie. Dit is die klein dingetjies wat tel.... Ons het baie beter akkommodasie gekry nie ver van Kloofhuis af nie vir minder geld. Ek kan ongelukkig nie Kloofhuis aanbeveel nie. Jammer.

We decided not to stay there.

The fact that the house is old didn't bother us, but the room was stuffy, the bedding old and the pillows stained. The toilet space was really cramped. A slightly overweight person might struggle to use it. The coffee container was dirty and crusted with old coffee. The sugar jar was basically empty. It seemed that there was no effort to make guests feel at home. It's these little things that count. We found better accommodation not far from Kloofhuis for cheaper. Unfortunately I cannot recommend Kloofhuis.

Goeiedag
Die oomblik wat die betrokke persoon by die huis gearriveer het en ek hulle by die parkering verwelkom het , het ek gesien dat sy reeds ontevrede is en ‘n afkerende trek op haar gesig gehad het. Hulle het skaars 5 minute in die kamer vertoef en toe uitgestorm. Uit gewoonte gaan ek altyd nadat gaste opgedaag het deur die kamer om te sien of daar handdoeke en seep en dergelike is maar hulle het my nie die kans gegee nie. Ja, hierdie is ‘n ou huis en ons het juis dit aangekoop omdat dit ‘n ou wêreld se karakter uitstraal, iets wat by 18 000 vorige gaste aanklank gevind het waarvan die gasteboek meer as getuig. Ons “verkoop” nie die kamers deur “nice to have” moderne artikels soos gekoopte suiker en koffie pakkies en sepies en roompies aan te hou nie. Dit pas nie in by die styl van die huis nie. Dit was ‘n warm dag en die vensters was toe en die “bedompigheid” kan seker daaraan toe geskryf word. Die duvet oortreksel is nog nie 3 maande oud nie en ‘n mens sal x-straal oë moet hê om deur die deken te kan bepaal of die beddegoed “oud” is.
Die feit van die saak is dat hulle die fotos op die webblad moes gesien het asook ‘n beskrywing van die huis waarin pertinent gesê word die huis is al 126 jaar oud en nuwerwetse meubels sal beslis nie inpas nie.
Die gastehuis waarheen die persone heen gegaan het het ‘n begroting van meer as 5 miljoen gehad om al die “nice to have” aan te bring terwyl ons 20 jaar gelede ‘n begroting van R300.00 gehad het om die huis te koop en al die toebehore en verbeteringe aan te bring, en moes ons, om die estetiese te behou, die badkamers so klein maar gerieflik moontlik binne bestaande kamers aangebring het.
Soos gemeld neem ons verlief daarmee dat smaak verskil en mense is vry om keuses te maak. Dit is vir ons ‘n riem onder die hart dat meer as 90 persent van ons gaste net positiewe kommentaar het en as daar iets fout is spreek ons dit onmiddellik aan. Dit kon terstond onder ons aandag gebring gewees het en nie oor die publieke domain verkondig gewees het nie.

Daar is tans ‘n tendens van mense om van die staanspoor negatief teenoor akkommodasie plekke te wees en dit word ‘n stokperdjie om plekke met mekaar te vergelyk en self 5-ster plekke word nie ontsien nie.
Dankie vir die geleentheid om ons kant ook te stel.
Groete
Steve
