Oasis in rundown village.
Great place to sleep with tasty 3-course dinners and breakfasts if you book it that way. The guest house is now getting new owners, so I don't know how that will be then.

Thank you for your review and was pleased that overall you were happy.
I'm extremely sorry however that there was a misunderstanding over the price of dinner. This has been rectified in the automatic response so will not happen again. It's a pity that you didn't mention the discrepancy at the time which would have allowed me to change your bill.

Die gastehuis is leefbaar en redelik netjies, maar te duur vir wat jy kry.

Translate to English.
The guest house is livable and quite tidy, but too expensive for what you get.
We had a nice overnight stay but there are some problems, the shower head of the bath sprays in all directions, so you can't wash or wet your hair properly. The bath plank is falling apart with dangerously protruding nails. The meals offered are also not value for money, a plate of pudding costs R50pp. The place is strategically well located.

We were very late for dinner, as we had trouble on our way. But our host was ready to receive us with delicious, hot food. He was very considerate. The house and garden are cosy and the interior extremely tasteful. It helped to get a good night's rest after a very long day.

The location to Cape Town or Southern Cape is very good and service was a good balance of friendly and efficient with flavorful meals.
Very good location and the owner was friendly without being overbearing. The dinner was fragrant, as was the breakfast. They have a liquor license and so wine is available with dinner. Decor in the rooms, as well as the house, is nice with interesting antiques and clean. Will definitely stay there again.

It was really amazing! Clean and friendly service. We stayed at 7 different places on our holiday of 3 weeks, but this one was the best! The town is quite old which might have been the reason why we have never stayed here before on our yearly holiday.

Very disappointing.
I would not recommend this guest house. My reasons are that the host did not receive us, the house has some interesting pieces of furniture and art but is neglected and needs a lot of restoration. The bathroom was tired and the mattresses slept through, and our air conditioning was out of order. Dinner was tasteless, although the tables were nicely set.

I am sorry that you consider it necessary to continue to complain about your visit to my Guest House.
Yes, I was absent when you visited: a very rare event and a fact of which you had been appraised before arriving and indeed acknowledged by you in your original complaint to TripAdvisor more than two weeks ago. Over the years my Staff have proven that they are more than able to cope on their own.
We have an ongoing program of maintenance and repair and I am sorry you feel that you were exposed to parts of the House you thought should have already received attention.
Everybody's bed requirements differ and I will certainly keep your comments under close scrutiny.
As previously explained, the air-conditioning unit only needed a new battery which the staff would have provided immediately had they been informed.
Thank you for your remarks as we appreciate everybody's comments as they encourage us to strive to satisfy our guests and improve where necessary.
