Rustig, goed geleë en veilig.

Baie goeie diens van die agent, en goeie knus huisie. Oorslaap was goed, sou nog langer wou bly. Kaggel was uitstekkend in die koue weer van die Noord-Kaap.

Quiet, well located and safe.

Very good service from the agent, and nice cozy house. Overnight was good, would have liked to stay longer. Fireplace was excellent in the cold weather of the Northern Cape.

Beautifully restored.

It was such a lovely experience staying in Morendat House. The first thing that struck me as I walked in was that it smelled so nice! Next thing was the interesting architecture and sensitive restoration. Finally it was tastefully decorated. A dishwasher and lovely wine glasses also made a big difference. I would definitely stay there again but would allow more time to explore the town and surrounding area.

Peaceful nostalgia.

I highly recommend Morendat House to anyone staying over in Graaff-Reinet. It is such a sweet house, lovely furnished, equipped with everything you need. Air conditioning ensures a comfortable stay on warm days. We enjoyed every moment of our stay so, so much! Thank you.

Rustige en smaakvolle verblyf.

Ons het heerlik gerus in hierdie smaakvol toegeruste gastehuis. Jammer dat die dorp 'n waterkrisis het, want ons kon nie stort nie. Dit was egter buite die gastehuis se beheer.

Peaceful and tasteful accommodation.

We had a great time in this tastefully furnished guest house. Too bad the town has a water crisis because we couldn't shower. However, this was beyond the guest house's control.

Gerieflik en netjies, waarde vir geld.

Ons is hartsmense en verkies om die eienaar of bestuurder self te ontmoet. Dit was nogal vreemd dat ons nooit hulle ontmoet het nie. Alle kommunikasie was telefonies.

Comfortable and tidy, value for money.

We are heart people and prefer to meet the owner or manager himself. It was quite strange that we never met them. All communication was by telephone.

Ons het baie gerieflik gebly en lank gekuier om die stofie.

Die huis het alles wat nodig is. Aanwysings en toegang tot die huis was maklik. Alles was gerieflik en goed versorg. Ons was ongemaklik met die voertuie wat deur die nag in die straat moes staan. Die voertuig-alarms wat verder af in die straat deur die nag afgegaan het, het ook nie gehelp vir 'n goeie nagrus nie. Daar was geen insident by ons voertuie nie.

We had a great stay and loved the little oven.

The house has everything that you need. Directions to the house was easy. Everything was comfortable and well-kept. We were uncomfortable with the cars having to park outside in the street for the night. There were other car alarms going off throughout the night. Luckily there was no incident with our cars.

Dit was lekker om daar te kon bly.

Alles was netjies. Kamers was skoon en beddegoed ook. Lekker ontspanne atmosfeer onder afdak by agterdeur. Veilig en stil om te rus.

Pragtige huis en vriendelike, hulpvaardige gashere.

Die gasheer het ons vooraf gekontak om seker te maak hoe laat ons gaan arriveer. Toe ons arriveer het ons die sleutel maklik gekry. Die huis was pragtig en netjies. Tweeslaapkamerhuis, elkeen met hul eie badkamers, asook 'n sitkamer en 'n kombuis. Die huis is sentraal geleë, stapafstand van die CBD. Sal hierdie pragtige plekke vir enigiemand aanbeveel.

Beautiful house and friendly, helpful hosts.

The host contacted us beforehand to make sure what time we were going to arrive. when we arrived we found the keys with ease. The house was beautiful and neat. 2-bedroom house, each with its own bathroom, also a lounge and a kitchen. The house is centrally located, walking distance from the CBD. Will recommend this beautiful place to anyone.

Baie gerieflik en alles wat ons aangevra het, het onmiddellike aandag gekry!

Pakplek en hangplek is beperk in die kamers en badkamers, maar ek's seker hulle sal dit nog verbeter.

Teleurstellend!!! Het nie aan ons gesin se verwagtinge voldoen nie.

Fotos en beskrywing van Morendat House is misleidend en gee geen aanduiding van tekortkominge nie. Ons het gevoel die eienaars het daarin geslaag om die karakter van die lieflike huis te behou. Ongelukkig het te veel basiese benodigdhede ontbreek om ons verblyf aangenaam te maak, bv. handdoekrelings, hangplek vir klere, ens. Patio-meubels was stukkend en vuil. Ons het nie die gashere ontmoet nie, maar het 'n volledige lys aan gasvrou, Nilene, gestuur en het terugvoering ontvang dat hulle daaraan aandag sal gee.

Disappointing!!! Did not meet our family's expectations.

Photos and description of Morendat House are misleading and give no indication of deficiencies. We felt the owners had succeeded in keeping the character of the lovely house. Unfortunately, too many basic necessities were missing to make our stay pleasant, e.g. towel rails, hanging space for clothes, etc. Patio furniture was broken and dirty. We did not meet the hosts, but sent a complete list to the hostess, Nilene, and received feedback that they would attend to it.

Morendat House 's response

Dear Izak,
Thank you for your constructive criticism, which has - as you note - indeed been taken on board and rectified. We are disappointed that you waited until after your 2-day stay to say anything, as we would have loved to sort the issues immediately where possible or offer to find you somewhere else to stay. Nonetheless, there is now new outdoor furniture, as well as towel rails and wardrobes in all the rooms. The guests which follow your review clearly felt that the house is now exactly as it should be.
Regards,
Morendat House
