Pragtig, gerieflik en 'n lus vir die oog!

'n Gerieflike en veilige plek wat ek enige tyd weer sal besoek. Die gasvrou is baie vriendelik, die plek is so pragtig, 'n mens kan nie genoeg kry van al die mooi nie.

Veilige verblyf en gerieflik naby Menlyn.

Ons het heerlik geslaap en veilig gevoel. Kamers kan doen met kleiner meubels, aangesien kamers klein is. Kaste heeltemal te groot, wat maak dat die yskas in die middel van die vloer moet staan, en wanneer 'n mens die ketel wil gebruik, jy dit op die grond moet neersit, aangesien daar nie 'n muurprop naby die ketel is nie. Die kamer wat bo-op die eetkamer gebou is, is baie steurend, en glo ek daardie persoon voel ook ongemaklik. 'n Mens hoor elke voetstap, asook as die persoon krane oopdraai wanneer jy eet en daar iemand in daardie kamer is. Moontlik kan hul ook net parkering merk, sodat voertuie nie agtermekaar hoef te staan nie. Dit is werklik mooi, gerieflik geleë en veilig. Sou dit kan aanbeveel as verblyf.

Translate to English.

Safe accommodation and conveniently close to Menlyn.

We slept great and felt safe. Rooms could do with smaller furniture as rooms are small. Cupboards way too big, which means that the fridge has to stand in the middle of the floor, and when you want to use the kettle, you have to put it on the ground, as there is no wall plug near the kettle. The room built on top of the dining room is very disturbing, and I believe that person also feels uncomfortable. One hears every footstep, as well as if the person turns on taps when you are eating and there is someone in that room. Possibly they can also just mark parking, so that vehicles don't have to stand one behind the other. It is really beautiful, conveniently located and safe. Would recommend it as accommodation.

Netjies maar nie waarde vir geld.

MacGregors is baie goed geleë maar parkering is baie deurmekaar en moes mooi stop om nie mekaar vas te parkeer nie. Daar is net SABC en Mnet in die kamers, so nie 'n keuse van DStv nie, kamer het ook geen yskas in vir eie drinkgoed nie. Daar is nie 'n keuse van ontbyt nie en het dus slegs 2 eiers en 2 repies spek gekry elk, en vir my as volwasse man is dit glad nie genoeg nie. Ons was vriendelik ontvang maar met die uitteken was daar niemand te sien en die kok het ons sleutel kom haal by ontvangs. Baie mooi tuin en skoon geriewe maar ongelukig nie die prys werd nie.

Neat but not value for money.

MacGregors is very well located but parking is very messy and had to stop carefully to avoid parking each other. There is only SABC and Mnet in the rooms, so no choice of DStv, room also has no fridge for own drinks. There is no choice of breakfast so only got 2 eggs and 2 strips of bacon each, and for me as a grown man that is not enough at all. We were kindly received but when we checked out there was no one to be seen and the cook came to collect our key from reception. Very nice garden and clean facilities but unfortunately not worth the price.

MacGregors Guest House 's response

Goeiemôre my geëerde gas, die ontbyt bestaan uit 2 soorte ontbytgraankos, joghurt en vrugteslaai. Tee, koffie en vrugtesap. Roosterbrood en dan eiers van jou keuse en spek, sampioene en tamatie. Gas is vry om vir meer as 2 eiers te vra en nog spek. Hierdie is 'n 4 gang volle Engelse ontbyt en ons het nog nooit geweier as 'n gas meer wil hê nie. Op die stoep is 'n yskassie vir gaste se koeldranke. Dis jammer dat julle ervaring nie lekker was nie; teen ons redelike tariewe, was dit 'n redelike aanbieding.

Niks buitengewoon nie!

Goeie beddens, netjiese kamers, mooi tuin en veilige parkering (alhoewel die parkering beknop sal wees as die gastehuis vol is). Die ontbyt is voldoende. Die teleurstelling was dat daar net een koffiebeker in die kamer was. Die dame by ontvangs het dit wel opgemerk toe sy my na die kamer geneem het opgemerk dat daar 'n koffiebeker (wat net soos die een in die kamer was) in die tuin op 'n tafeltjie gestaan het, wat volgens haar deur die tuinier gebruik is. Die deur na die badkamer vanuit die kamer kon ook nie oopgemaak word nie. Ons moes haar hulp inroep, waarop sy erken het dat dit gereeld 'n probleem is. Die TV-programme is ook baie deurmekaar en nie korrek ingestel nie. In' n area waar daar soveel akkommodaie is, gee ek hierdie kritiek as opbouend. Ons reis gereeld en wil graag waarde vir geld en tyd hê. Ek sal regtig volgende keer 'n ander gastehuis gebruik.

Nothing out of the ordinary!

Good beds, tidy rooms, pretty garden and secure parking (although parking will be crowded when the guesthouse is full). The breakfast is sufficient. The disappointment was that there was only one coffee mug in the room. The lady at reception, however, noticed when she took me to the room that there was a coffee mug (just like the one standing in the room) on the table in the garden, which according to her, was used by the gardener. The door to the bathroom from the room's side couldn't open. We had to call her for help, and she admitted that the door often gives problems. The TV shows are jumbled and not tuned in. In an area where there is so much accommodation to choose from, I give this criticism as constructive. We travel frequently and want value for our money and time. I would really use a different guest house next time.

Baie swak, vermy teen alle koste!

Ons het gaan inklok teen omtrent 13:00 op 'n Saterdag. Daar was geen antwoord op die interkom of klokkie nie, en ons moes skreeu deur die hek vir aandag. Op die ou einde het 'n ander gas vir ons oopgemaak. Die bestuurder het geen rekord van ons bespreking gehad nie, en die kamer wat ons bespreek het was reeds aan 'n ander gas gegee. Ons kry toe maar 'n ander kamer. Die volgende oggend was die bestuurder weer weg, en daar was geen teken van die ontbyt wat ons belowe is nie, toe sien ons maar onsself uit. Die plek self is skoon en mooi, maar die diens is swak en treurig. Vermy teen alle koste.

Very weak, avoid at all costs!

We checked in at about 1pm on a Saturday. There was no answer to the intercom or bell, and we had to shout through the gate for attention. In the end, another guest opened up for us. The manager had no record of our reservation, and the room we booked was already given to another guest. We then got another room. The next morning the driver was gone again, and there was no sign of the breakfast we had been promised, so we found ourselves alone. The place itself is clean and nice, but the service is poor and dismal. Avoid at all costs.

Close to Menlin Mall And N1. Quiet area within a secure park. We booked two rooms; small suite was spacious and well equipped with a small kitchen.
