Hier is 'n paar punte wat ek glo aandag sal moet geniet.

Die toegangspad kort aandag en beter aanwysings. Die parkeerarea kan maar gerus geteer of gebeton word. Daardie ongelyke klip plaveisel maak dit onnet. Die paadjie na die woonplek se klippe is ook baie ongelyk en maak dit moeilik om maklik te loop. Dan wat 'n erge pyn was, die trappe is totaal buite die riglyn vir gewone maklike trap hoogtes, ek dink dit is ongeveer 170mm standaard, daardie trappe is baie hoër as dit en sjoe, dit was nie maklik nie. Die dubbelbed se hoogte van die vloer af en dan met die sagte matras was uiters ongemaklik. Dit sal in my opinie in hulle guns tel as hulle hierdie paar goedjies aanspreek. Verder was ons verblyf heel aanvaarbaar. Ai, die kragonderbrekings het gepla, maar nou ja dit is duur om daarvoor te beplan. Baie dankie en aanvaar asseblief my kretiek as goed bedoel. Dankie

Here are a few points that I believe will need attention.

The access road needs attention and better directions. The parking area can be tarred or concreted. That uneven stone paving makes it untidy. The path to the residence's stones is also very uneven and makes it difficult to walk easily. Then what was a real pain, the stairs are totally outside the guideline for normal easy stair heights, I think it's about 170mm standard, those stairs are much higher than that and wow, it wasn't easy. The double bed's height from the floor and then with the soft mattress was extremely uncomfortable. It would count in their favor in my opinion if they addressed these few things. Furthermore, our stay was quite acceptable. Oh, the power outages were annoying, but hey, it's expensive to plan for them. Thank you very much and please accept my criticism as well intended. Thank you

Ollivanders Estate 's response

Baie dankie dat u die tyd geneem het om opbouende kritiek aan ons te lewer vir u verblyf.

Ollivanders omhels die natuur en al sy onvolmaakthede en alhoewel ons bewus is dat die klippe, wat oorspronklik van die plaas is, ongelyk is, is dit 'n goeie idee dat ons 'n geskikte teken beskou om gaste te waarsku dat die grond ongelyk is.

Miskien sal 'n leuning na die kothuis beweeglikheid tot by die kothuis help, iets wat ons in die toekoms sal oorweeg.

Die beddens is 5-ster, top van die reeks, gasvryheid kwaliteit beddens, maar elke persoon het individuele voorkeure wanneer dit by beddens kom, maar ons is spyt dat jy ongemaklik was.

Ons is so dankbaar dat jy die naweek by ons kom spandeer het en ons hoop om jou gou weer terug te verwelkom!!

Beautiful just worrying though.

There were no bins in the units and while we were napping someone came into the room with no warning.

Sal nooit weer daar slaap as daar ’n troue is nie.

Ontbyt was nie moontlik nie, want die gaste van die troue het so gemors in die eetplek ons moes elders gaan ontbyt. Ons sal teruggaan wanneer daar nie 'n troue is nie, net vir die perde. Die perde was asemrowend en so goed versorg. Geen ontvangs op die perseel nie. As gevolg van die troue was daar lawaai vir 2 aande tot in die oggendure.

Will never sleep there again if there is a wedding.

Breakfast was not possible, because the guests of the wedding made such a mess in the dining area that we had to go elsewhere for breakfast. We will go back when there is not a wedding, just for the horses. The horses were stunning and so well cared for. No reception on site. Because of the wedding there was noise for 2 nights until the morning hours.

Tranquil bliss.

Home away from home with everything you could need to feel like you are at home.

Baie rustig en stil natuur. Pragtige uitkyk. Baie naby die N3 vir langafstand oornaggeleenthede.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die verblyf was skoon en netjies. Ons was baie bederf met ontbyt waar ons spesiale plaatkoekies gekry het die tweede oggend. Die eienaars (Mark en Leanne) and kok (Caroline) was baie vriendelik en besorg oor ons. Ons sal definitief weer hier oorslaap in the toekoms. Dis ideaal vir kinders en die perde was a groot plus vir ons.

Very calm and quiet nature. Beautiful view. Very close to the N3 for long distance overnight opportunities.

We had a very nice stay. The accommodation was clean and tidy. We were very spoiled with breakfast where we got special plate cookies the second morning. The owners (Mark and Leanne) and cook (Caroline) were very friendly and concerned about us. We will definitely stay here again in the future. It's ideal for children and the horses were a big plus for us.
