Shumba Valley Guest Farm's response
Dear Susann
We are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay at Shumba, we did apologise for not being here when you arrived as we had an emergency with the Vet.
What we fail to understand your statement saying the pictures are different to the cottage, everything as shown on the Travelground site are as you got here in the Franklin cottage.
There is nothing wrong with our security to give a rate of 1 is very unfair, your husband asked about security and I told him in the 19 years we have had no break in's or a vehicle being stolen. My husband asked your husband if everything is ok, he said all was fine.
It is a pity that you did not voice your concerns with us while you were here and we could of addressed the complaint instead of sharing this on a public forum where there are no grounds for your complaint at all
All our guests are very happy when they come here ,and what you see is what we advertise there is no hidden agenda at all and you can't change the summer photos to winter photos every season.that is the only thing that was different.

Dear Sonel,
Thank you for your feedback. If you check the email that I sent to thank you for booking at Shumba, I sent an attachment with all the rules for Shumba and in that letter/notice, I say please bring your own firewood as we do not supply firewood for braaing and we only supply wood for the fireplace in cottage on the first night after that you must supply your own. We do not have a sign at the office saying we supply firewood, as that would be incorrect having a sign saying that when we do not supply firewood. The Eastern Freestate is always cold in Winter and unfortunately, as per my email, you were of seen that we do not supply firewood, only on the first night of your stay.

'n Opregte plaasvakansie. Weg van die alledaagse gejaag.
Netjiese ruim toegeruste eenheid. 'n Werklike plaasatmosfeer met diere en wandelpaaie. Eienaars is uiters behulpsaam en doen alles in hulle vermoeë om verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Sou baie graag weer hier vakansie wou hou.

Dear Nola,
We checked the unit after reading your review. The door that you are referring to is a stable door it was locked when you arrived so somebody must have opened it. If you had pulled the bolt open on the bottom half of the door, it would have locked quite easily.
Our farm is very safe and we have had no incident in the 18 years we have been here and we have patrols every night by the local farmers.
If you had let us know about the hot water we could have checked the problem out while you were here. We have had people stay there every weekend this year, and this is the first time that there is a problem with the hot water. A note by our door would of been the solution if you couldn't reach us or just a phone call.
We do have fans in our store room. If you had requested one, we would have gladly put it in your cottage. We have had an unusual heat wave at the moment, we do not like leaving the fans in a room as they do tend to disappear.
We always make sure our guests are okay, but we never got to see you once on this visit as you were never there.
Thank you for the compliment that about future guests enjoying themselves in this cottage. I'm sure that they will, as we pride ourselves on quality and service.
Regards,
Bob and Lyn Armour

Baie lekker. Net jammer hulle sit die verwarmer af wanneer 'n mens dit aangelos het. Kamers is baie koud.
Shumba Valley Guest Farm's response
Thank you for your feedback.
Sorry but our staff have to switch heaters off as we can't leave appliances on all day without the unit being occupied for safety and cost reasons.
Kind regards
