Michael's service over the weekend was fantastic!

Fantastic service, from when we inquired until we left.

Michael se diens oor die naweek was fantasties!

Fantastiese diens gewees, vanaf vooraf navrae tot ons vertrek het.

Very peaceful and nice.

The unit is really cute, but the showers and toilets can be upgraded a bit.

Baie rustig en lekker.

Die eenheid is regtig baie oulik, maar die storte en toilette kan bietjie opgegradeer word.

Gerieflike oornagverblyf.

'n Mooi gerieflike oornagplek, met alles wat jy nodig het. Naby aan Lanseria Lughawe.

Juan-mare O
With friends

We had a good stay.

I had no problems, except for the fact that when we arrived, there were very noisy people and loud music next to the pool. It didn't make a good first impression and the unit my brother was in didn't have any hot water. Please make sure that this is fixed.

Ek het lekker geslaap.

Ek het geen probleme ervaar nie, behalwe vir die feit toe ek daar aankom daar mense naby die swem-area gesit het met baie harde musiek en 'n geskree. Dit het nie vir my 'n goeie indruk gegee nie en dan het my broer hulle in een van die plekkies naby die hek gebly en hulle het niks warm water gehad nie. Kyk asseblief dat alle plekke warm water het.

Dear Juan-mare,

We apologize for the noise at the swimming pool. When we asked them to tone down they obliged immediately.

The geyser element had unfortunately blown but this has since been replaced.

Lekker rustig.

Ons het lekker gebly. Daar was net geen warm water gewees nie.

Geoff's Response

Dear Sune,

Apologies for the water. With the load shedding, we switch off the geysers, even though they are solar powered. It is possible we had forgotten to switch it back on.

Many thanks,
Geoff

Felt at home, very comfortable and private.

Pine Valley and owner is really pleasant.

We arrived early evening and left early morning, so never really got to spend quality time there. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

Daniel Willem V
With spouse/partner

Ons oorslaap was verkwikkend lekker en aangenaam.

Wat 'n rustige en veilige omgewing om in te oornag. Die kamer was skoon en is lekker ruim. Die elektriese kombers op 'n ferm matras was 'n treffer. Ons sal enige tyd weer daar oornag indien die geleentheid hom voordoen.

Sonja V
With friends

We received another room we originally booked. Otherwise, everything was clean and neat.

The unit I booked was 1 unit with two living areas. I booked for a wedding, therefore we didn't want separate units. Apart for the wrong rooms, the place was very neat and clean.

Ons het 'n ander kamer ontvang as wat ons bespreek het. Andersins is dit skoon en netjies.

Die eenheid wat ek bespreek het was 1 eenheid met 2 vertrekke. Ek het bespreek vir 'n troue en daarom wou ons nie aparte eenhede gehad het nie. Behalwe vir die verkeerde kamers was die plek mooi netjies en skoon.

Baie gemaklik behalwe vir akkers wat op die dak geval het deur die nag!

Baie vriendelike en gasvrye diens wat nie geskroom het om ekstra myl te gaan op versoeke nie. Al negatiewe punt was akkers wat op die dak geval het in die middel van die nag en dus slaap versteur het. Andersins puik!

Samantha M
Individual traveler

Gerieflik naby geleë van waar ek 'n troue bygewoon het. Netjies en skoon.

Die ligging van die eenheid was goed. Ek het veilig gevoel en die eenheid was netjies, skoon en ek was mal oor die ruim badkamer. My eenheid was ongelukkig nie gereed toe ek arriveer nie, en ek moes die eenheid langs my se mikrogolf gebruik vir middagete. Die mense was wel baie gaaf en tegemoetkomend. Die eenhede is langs 'n veearts geleë en kan ongelukkig blaffende honde tot gevolg hê. Die dag toe ek wil uitboek was niemand by ontvangs nie en daar was onsekerheid oor die uitstaande bedrag betaalbaar.

Heerlik!

Geoff en sy personeel was baie vriendelik en het gereeld verneem of ons lekker kuier. Saam met die heerlike braaiplekke sal ons net braaibakke in die wooneenhede wil hê. Genoeg spuitstof vir vlieë ook asb. Heerlik gekuier, baie dankie Geoff!

Delmarie and her family were a pleasure to have to stay with us. They used the tennis court and swimming pool frequently and were very pleasant to the staff.

Pierre V
With friends

Glad nie waarde vir geld nie.

Op aankoms was die skoonmaker nog besig, die woonstel waar ons gebly het, was wel groot en badkamers skoon maar dis heel agter in die kompleks weggesteek en het gevoel of ons nie regtig deel is van die plek nie. Die ander geriewe was wel beskikbaar. Vinnige oorslaapplek ja, maar waarde vir geld nee. Vir dieselfde prys kon ek in luukse tent met warmwaterswembad en beter geriewe bly vir 'n naweek by 'n ander plek.

Geoff's Response

Unfortunately, the customer arrived early, just after the previous guests had checked out and the cleaner was still busy. We would have made alternative arrangements if we were aware that they were checking in before 14:00. Apologies for this.
The guest paid R360 per person and unfortunately, we cannot go cheaper than that.

Was redelik, net koud.

Baie oulike mense. Dis net hulle bou daar en julle moet mense laat weet voor hulle bespreek. Alles is deurmekaar daar en nie genoeg warm water vir al die mense nie, maar verder is alles okei.

Oageng M
With spouse/partner

I would not recommend Pine Valley to a friend.

Geoff (owner) was very welcoming and very friendly which we appreciate a lot, however the room 3 was extremely cold and we were dependant on the electric blanket. The room is not as tidy and when we departed on Sunday 23-07-2017, we were greeted by worms on the kitchen counter. The place is full of dogs which might actually be scary for some people (Not all people love dogs).

Geoff's Response

We are sorry that Oageng did not enjoy her stay. We supplied champagne, chocolates, flowers and dinner upon her arrival and were under the impression that all was OK. We did explain that the unit she booked did not have a fireplace (as do all the other chalets) and that all the other units were booked anyway. We do supply heaters upon request but unfortunately they did not mention being cold. The worms on the kitchen counter is baffling and this we cannot explain.

Pine Valley

Wilna D

Lieflike wegbreeknaweek.

Ek het die Rooster Bedroom bespreek, maar Geoff het ons in die Weaver Chalet laat bly vir die naweek teen geen ekstra fooie. Geoff, jy is 'n gasheer 1000. Die atmosfeer van Pine Valley is rustig en die omgewing pragtig. Hoogs aan te beveel vir enige iemand.

Geoff's Response

Dit was n plesier om Wilna by ons te he vir die naweek. Ons sien uit om haar weer by ons te laat bly.

Comfortable.

I stayed in Kingfisher. The finishings in the unit need some attention. Looks like it was done in a hurry and detracts from the unit.

Gerieflik.

Ek het in Kingfisher gebly, die afwerking op die eenheid kort aandag, dit lyk of dit baie haastig gedoen was en doen afbreek op die eenheid.

Marinda D
With spouse/partner

Average.

I was quite disappointed - the area is beautiful but I expected more of the room. The curtain hooks fell out or are missing so that the curtains hang in loops. The bathroom has blinds that don't cover the entire window - not good for privacy. Above the shower is a hole in the ceiling. I kept expecting something to crawl or fall out of the ceiling.

Gangbare verblyf.

Ek was nogal teleurgesteld - die omgewing is pragtig maar ek het meer verwag van die kamer. Die gordynhakies het uitgehaak of is nie daar nie - so die gordyne hang sulke "loops". In die badkamer is daar n rol-blinder wat nie die hele venster aan die kante toemaak nie - uiteraard skend dit privaatheid. In die stort is daar 'n gat in die plafon, om welke rede ook al. Nodeloos om te sê ek het die hele tyd gewonder of gaan daar nie een of ander iets uit die plafonruimte in die stort klim/val nie.

Accommodation served the purpose.

The unit had a funny smell and wasn't very clean. The carpet in the living room was very dirty.

Verblyf het die doel gedien.

Die eenheid het 'n snaakse reuk gehad en was nie mooi skoon nie. Die mat in die sitkamer was vreeslik vuil.

The weekend away was one for the books.

Thank you very much for a nice weekend. It was so peaceful, just sorry it rained so much, we couldn't really use the swimming pool. Thank you very much for the hospitality and the help with my dog.

Die naweek weg was uit boonste rakke.

Baie dankie vir 'n lekker naweek dit was so rustig net jammer dit het so baie gereën, kon nie eintlik die swembad gaan geniet nie. Baie dankie vir die gasvryheid en die hulp met my hondjie.

Geoff, the manager is the best.

We had the pool all to ourselves. The braai area as well. Geoff, the manager, brought us 30 Seconds as we requested. It's very relaxing and feels like home.

Sias F
With spouse/partner

The accommodation is good, reception was bad and parking a nightmare.

We had to wait outside for 15 minutes before we were let in. There is a cellphone number and other numbers on the signage at the gate, but we called in vain. When one of the workers came out of his home, about 200 m from the gate, it was with some effort. They were cold and really didn't feel like helping us. The parking is an absolute nightmare, especially with a large vehicle. Parking is a big no-no. The self-catering unit was spacious, comfortable and neat.

Akkomodasie goed, ontvangs swak en parkering nagmerrie.

Ons moes amper 15 minute wag voor die hek voordat ons ingelaat is. Daar is 'n selnommer en ander nommers op die bord voor die ingang, maar tevergeefs gebel. Toe een van die werkers uit hul huisie kom so 200 meter van die hek af, was dit met moeite gewees en hulle was koud en glad nie lus om ons te help nie. Die parkering is 'n absolute nagmerrie, veral met groot voertuie. Parkering is 'n groot nee. Die selfsorg-eenheid binne was ruim, gerieflik en netjies.

Comfortable.

The owner, Geoff, was an excellent host. He went out of his way to be helpful while we were there. And when we had an emergency het gave 120%. Really walked the extra mile to help his fellow human beings. We are really greatful and friendships were started. Thank you Geoff for everything. We will always recommend your establishment.

Gerieflik.

Die eienaar, Geoff, was vir ons 'n uitstekende gasheer. Hy het uit sy pad uit gegaan om vir ons behulpsaam te wees in die tyd wat ons daar was. Vernaam toe ons ewe skielik in nood verkeer het, het hy 120% gegee. Regtig die ekstra myl geloop om sy medemens uit te help. Ons is Geoff innig dankbaar en vriendskappe is gemaak. Thank you Geoff for everything. We will always recommend your establishment.

My huisie weg van die huis af, elke keer as ons van nou af daar gaan werk.

Die vriendelikste diens wat ek nog gehad het. Elke oggend is daar nuwe hout ingebring vir 'n lekker vuurtjie. Daar is elke oggend skoongemaak en die feit dat troeteldiere welkom is, is vir my die beste van alles!

It was a pleasure having people to stay who enjoy the countryside, peacefulness, animals and of course the fireplace!
It will be great to have Emé stay again.

Rustig, skoon en netjies.

Karig. Nie troeteldiervriendelik nie.

Die eenheid waar ons ingeklok is, was blykbaar 'n nuwe toevoeging. Dit was karig toegerus. Ons het ons troeteldiere saamgeneem omdat dit 'n troeteldiervriendelike oord was. Ons het dit nie baie troeteldiervriendelik beleef nie. Die eenheid was nie toegekamp nie, en ons worsies het bedreig gevoel deur die eienaar se reuse honde. Ongelukkig het ons net een van vier aande daar deurgebring. My vrou het siek geword en ons is huistoe.

Clean, spacious, convenient.

Pine Valley was extremely convenient as it was situated 4km from the wedding that we all attended for the evening. The accommodation itself was spacious and exceptionally clean. My only gripe would be that we did not have hot water - but this merely an oversight by management. We unfortunately did not spend enough time there to provide a full review on the facilities offered.

Hi Natalie - thank you for staying with us. We appreciate the positive comments and apologise for the lack of hot water. We switch geysers off when nobody is in the units and obviously forgot to switch on again for your stay! Apologies again.

Perhaps a little-known gem. Pine Valley turned out to be the perfect accommodation option for my group.

Very Beautiful place

I was very amazed at how nice the place were and how big and clean everything was. Further more, the whole place is really beautiful and I will definitely go there again and recommend it to a family member (even if its still the same price - I feel R300 per person is a bit steep especially for large families - perhaps consider including breakfast in the price?).
