Slegte ervaring.

Daar was nie 'n naam op nie. Daar was geen ligte gedurende loadshedding nie. Daar was geen water nie, selfs nie eers drinkwater nie. Die beddegoed het na rook geruik.

Bad experience.

There was no name on it. There were no lights during loadshedding. There was no water, not even drinking water. The bedding smelled of smoke.

Onveilig, onnet en glad nie soos geadverteer.

Buiten die feit dat die area waarin ons gebly het 'n verskriklike reuk gehad het, was die venster gebreek, alle deure was duidelik beskadig en nie herstel nie. Daar was geen waterdruk en die stort moes uitgewas word voor dit moontlik was vir enige een om te stort. Ons voertuig en trailor was in 'n toe-stoot-motorhuis wat van die straat af oopmaak. Nadat ons belowe is iemand sal kom sluit, was die motorhuis heel aand oop, ten spyte van 'n oproep na beide die agentskap en die eienaar. Ons het heel aand onveilig gevoel. Sal dit glad nie aanbeveel om 'n aand hier te spandeer nie.

Unsafe, unclean and not at all as advertised.

Besides the fact that the area we stayed in had a terrible smell, the window was broken, all doors were clearly damaged and beyond repair. There was no water pressure and the shower had to be flushed before it was possible for anyone to shower. Our vehicle and trailer were in a push-to-close garage that opened from the street. After we were promised someone would come to lock, the garage was open all night, despite a call to both the agency and the owner. We felt unsafe all evening. Would not recommend spending a night here at all.

It was okay.

The place was clean, the only thing I noticed was a bad smell from outside as if something is rotten and the hot water only came from a basin when I needed to take a warm bath after a long drive.

Die kamer is netjies, maar aan die buitekant is dit 'n ongemaklike plek.

Die tuintjie is baie onnet en daar lê draad rond wat enige volwassene of hondjie kan beseer. Daar was min warm water die aand en geen warm water die oggend nie. Aandete was lekker. Die risiko vir geen krag en/of water is groot in Middelburg. Geen ekstra komberse nie. Het wel later verwarmer gebring.

The room is neat, but on the outside it is an uncomfortable place.

The garden is very untidy and there is wire lying around which can injure any adult or puppy. There was little hot water in the evening and no hot water in the morning. Dinner was nice. The risk of no power and/or water is high in Middelburg. No extra blankets. Did bring heater later.

Not great.

Dinner at the restaurant was superb. Hospitality at the restaurant (where keys are collected) was superb. Loved the Karoo's friendliness. Accommodation was unsatisfactory in the extreme. Hot water - no. Milk for coffee - no. The place didn't smell great. Felt a bit unsafe.

Nie eers by Lavinir geslaap nie.

Ons het daar aangekom, en besluit dat ons nie met twee jong kindertjies daar kan slaap nie. Ons voertuig sou buite in die straat geslaap het. Tuin was vuil en onnet. Vuil bekers het op die tafel gestaan en stof en blare het die hele voordeur vol gelê. Niemand het ook agtergekom dat ons nie daar geslaap het nie.

Not even slept with Lavinir.

We arrived there, and decided that we could not sleep there with two young children. Our vehicle would have been sleeping outside in the street. Garden was dirty and untidy. Dirty mugs stood on the table and dust and leaves littered the entire front door. No one noticed that we didn't sleep there either.

Nie wat ek voor gehoop het nie.

Alhoewel die mense vriendelik en baie behulpsaam was, was die ervaring nie van die beste nie. Daar was ongelukkig nie krag nie en dus ook nie water nie. Die kamer is mooi binne, maar dit lyk vervalle van buite af.

Not what I was hoping for.

Although the people were friendly and very helpful, the experience was not the best. Unfortunately, there was no power and therefore no water either. The room is nice inside, but it looks dilapidated from the outside.

Waarde vir geld akkommodasie!

Met aankoms was ons baie skepties want van buite lyk dit nie so goed nie, maar kamer was netjies en kos wat ons bestel het regtig lekker! Waarde vir geld!

Value for money accommodation!

On arrival we were very skeptical because from the outside it doesn't look that good, but the room was neat and the food we ordered was really good! Value for money!

Not worth the money or time.

First off, the pinned location took us to the wrong address. We arrived at some sort of warehouse looking place where the lady who works in the restaurant met us. We were then told that our accommodation was across the street listed under a completely different name than on the website. When we finally went to our unit, it wasn't at all what we booked and paid for. We just received a room and bathroom, instead of the self catering unit with a dining room, TV and kitchen that we paid for. There was multiple issues with the unit, from the toilet that stopped working and not having enough blankets, to not having a TV in the unit. Johann managed to sort all our issues out, but it lead to us having to wait on the staff for several hours which made our stay unenjoyable. The garage provided for our car was also the entrance/ exit to the units. Which means that people kept on opening and closing the garage while our car was in it. We were told that multiple TV's were stolen from the property, so the fact that the garage door couldn't just be locked from the beginning, was a safety issue for us. The staff were not very prepared for our arrival or stay, even though I confirmed the time we would be arriving the day prior to our arrival. The overflow in the bathroom was installed incorrectly which lead to water flooding the bathroom floor when I took a bath. There is actually so many inconvenient things that happened that I can't really mention one good thing about this accommodation. I would not recommend this place to anyone because you will be paying for a unit that you won't get and you will have to run after staff to get what you need and not have any time to rest.

Ons wou net slaap en R500 vir 3 mense is nie baie nie.

Die plek se beddegoed was netjies, maar verder is dit glad nie netjies nie. Toiletrol val van die muur af. Badkamerdeur maak met 'n spyker toe, verfwerk baie swak ens. En dan, geen warm water! Geen mikrogolfoond. Ek was baie bekommerd oor my motor se veiligheid. Hulle het nie kaartfasiliteite en geen kleingeld. Ek moes die volgende dag vra vir my kleingeld.

We just wanted to sleep and R500 for 3 people is not much.

The place's bedding was neat, but otherwise it is not tidy at all. Toilet roll falls off the wall. Bathroom door closes with a nail, paint job very poor etc. And then, no hot water! No microwave oven. I was very worried about my car's safety. They have no card facilities and no change. I had to ask for my change the next day.

Moenie te veel verwag nie.

Die blyplek is nie behoorlik gemerk nie - geen straatnaam, nommer of naam nie. Die gasheer was heeltemal te besig met sy ander gastehuis en was dus nie juis beskikbaar om aandag te gee aan my versoeke nie. Het inteendeel baie snotterige boodskappe op my foon gelaat. Songeiser waarvan die water lou is en en net 'n klein stroompie loop. TV werk nie. Goeie matras en beddegoed. Indien hy moeite sou doen om persoonlik met my te kom praat het, sou dit die situasie beredder het.

Don't expect too much.

The residence is not properly marked - no street name, number or name. The host was far too busy with his other guest house and was therefore not particularly available to attend to my requests. On the contrary, left many snotty messages on my phone. Sun geyser whose water is lukewarm and only a small stream runs. TV doesn't work. Good mattress and bedding. If he would have bothered to come and talk to me in person, it would have resolved the situation.

Lavinir 's response

Dankie vir die resensie.
Ek het persoonlik die gas ontvang het haar ook voor die tyd laat weet waar sy moet aanmeld om sleutels te ontvang. Die water is 'n probleem in ons dorp as gevolg van munisipaliteit. Jammer hieroor. Daarom sukkel songeyser party dae om die goeie druk deur te gee. Sy het op selfoon boodskap gese die water was warm. Het net lank gevat Dankie vir goeie netheid resensie, en jammer oor die water.
Groete
Johann
