Very nice accommodation located in a nice surrounding 10 minutes out of the town.

We again enjoyed our stay in Summerhill Guest Farm! It is a bit like a botanic garden, with lots of greenery and many trees providing plenty of shade, which we especially enjoyed on hot days. There are also nice small animals, which is perfect to see for children, various braai areas, and a nice pool. We have been there 4 times and every time we had really good holidays there. Bob and Wendy are always very friendly and informative.

Die eenheid waarin ons gebly het was vuil.

Oppervlaktes was nie afgevee nie, die ketel is aangepak en was jare laas aan die buitekant afgevee. Al die plug skakelaars is vuil gevat. Die stort se drein is vol hare. Die bank se bekleedsel is vol kolle. Op die foto's lyk dit mooi, en as jy na die prys kyk, het ek nie die verwag nie. Hierdie is glad nie R2000 'n nag werd nie, ek het verstaan dis 'n 4-ster maar dis 'n 3-ster.

The unit we stayed in was dirty.

Surfaces were not wiped down, the boiler was tackled and hadn't been wiped down on the outside for years. All the plug switches are dirty. The shower drain is full of hair. The couch's upholstery is full of stains. In the pictures it looks nice, and if you look at the price, I didn't expect that. This is not worth R2000 a night at all, I understood it was a 4-star but it is a 3-star.

Summerhill Guest Farm 's response

Dear Olga,
I don't think you are reviewing the correct Guest House. We are not 4 stars, we are a 3-star.
Our price was not R2 000.00 per night but R1 550.00 with breakfast.
Besides that, we pride ourselves on our cleanliness and attention to detail. I can assure you, you have not reviewed our Guest House.
Regards,
Wendy

Heerlike, rustige plek met gasvrye ontvangs.

Vier baie lekker nagte by Bob en Wendy gekuier. Gasvry ontvang, Bob het moeite gedoen om die omgewing aan ons bekend te stel en baie belang gestel in ons as gaste. Sal dit vir seker aanbeveel.

Summerhill Guest Farm is regtig 'n "hidden gem". Ek het 'n baie aangename kuier gehad. Wendy en Bob was baie gasvry en vriendelik. Die swembad was veral heerlik. Ek sal beslis aanbeveel en weer kom kuier!

Bob and Wendy were very friendly and accommodation. Beautiful views of the mountains, just up the road and out of the town which is great! So many areas to walk around in and look at, beautiful maintained gardens and different animals to go look at. We could have easily spent another day there.

Heerlike, veilige tuinhuisie vir enkelreisigers.

Ek het heerlik alleen gebly in die Lavender Cottage, wat ek sou aanbeveel. Privaat, veilig, met uitsigte van die Hexrivierberge. Tog naby die hoofhuis, so 'n mens voel nie te alleen nie. Fantastiese ligging - 5 minute van Worcester se winkels af, maar weggesteek in 'n geheime vallei, waar mens kan draf, die Karoo Botaniese Tuin besoek, en berge bekyk. Heerlike ontbyt, vriendelike honde, goeie diens, veilige privaatheid en pragtige omgewing.

Lovely, secure garden house for single travellers.

I had a wonderful stay alone in the Lavender Cottage, which I would recommend. Private, secure, with views of the Hex River Mountains. Yet close to the main house, so one doesn't feel too alone. Fantastic location - 5 minutes from Worcester's shops, but tucked away in a secret valley, where you can jog, visit the Karoo Botanical Garden, and view mountains. Delicious breakfast, friendly dogs, good service, safe privacy and beautiful surroundings.

Rustig, veilig en akkommoderend.

Ons was 'n groep van 4 volwassenes, 3 kinders, 3 kleinerige honde, 3 sleepvoertuie en 3 sleepwaens. Summerhill Gasteplaas was bereid om ons te akkommodeer. Die verblyf is baie gerieflik en is soos daar geadverteer word. 'n Swembad en groot tuin gee 'n rustigheid en ruimte wat vir kinders en ouers heerlik is om te geniet. Die ontbyt die volgende oggend voordat ons vertrek het, was regtig die moeite werd en uit die boonste rakke. Persone wat op 'n streng begroting werk, mag dalk die tariewe hoog vind, maar die ekstras wat Summerhill bied wat die pragtige omgewing, veiligheid, ruimte, swembad, tuin en voëllewe betref, maak dit die geld werd.

Quiet, safe and accommodating.

We were a group of 4 adults, 3 children, 3 small dogs, 3 tow vehicles and 3 trailers. Summerhill Gasteplaas was willing to accommodate us. The accommodation is very comfortable and is as advertised. A swimming pool and large garden give a tranquility and space that is wonderful for children and parents to enjoy. The breakfast the next morning before we left was really worth it and top notch. Individuals working on a tight budget may find the rates high, but the extras that Summerhill offers in terms of beautiful surroundings, safety, space, pool, garden and bird life make it worth the money.

Beautiful location!

What a beautiful location in Worcester and close to Cape Town. I would definitely recommend a stay whether you are travelling on business or with the family. The restaurants are close by and it's a lovely area to explore. The hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable about the region. I also really enjoyed the breakfast. We were travelling with our dog and she was most welcome at the property which is a great benefit as there are not many pet-friendly places in the area.

Huislik en knus.

Ons het goeie diens ontvang van die oomblik wat ons die knoppie "‘bespreek’" gedruk het. Lekker eenhede met genoeg slaapplek vir almal! En bonus dat dit troeteldiervriendelik is, want wie wil nou rondreis sonder jou geliefde troeteldiere?

Ontspannend.

Wat 'n wonderlike tyd het ons gehad op ons vakansie saam met Wendy en Bob. Ons het van dag een af net lekker ontspan en gekuier. Elke dag is ons seuns van 5 en 7 vroeg al uit om al die diere te gaan hallo sê en Oom Bob te help eiers uithaal. Hulle was nie een oomblik verveeld nie en het die swembad en sy plaaslike Kolgans baie geniet. Ons het elke oggend die lekkerste ontbyt gehad, en wat nog lekker was, is dat die personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam was. Jy het ook nie heeltyd in die personeel vasgekyk nie en kon jouself wees. Ek sal beslis weer gaan oorbly as ek in die omgewing is.

Relaxing.

What a wonderful time we had on our vacation with Wendy and Bob. From day one we just had fun relaxing and hanging out. Every day our boys aged 5 and 7 are out early to go say hello to all the animals and help Uncle Bob take out eggs. They were never bored for a moment and really enjoyed the pool and its local Colgans. We had the most delicious breakfast every morning, and what was even nicer is that the staff were very friendly and helpful. You also didn't stare at the staff all the time and could be yourself. I will definitely stay again if I'm in the area.

Gerieflike kamers met heerlike ontbyt en vriendelike en hulpvaardige personeel.

Mooi omgewing, gerieflike kamers maar paar goed kort aandag. Ek het meer as 20 minute gesukkel om by hek in te kom. Oorspronklike self-catering eenheid bespreek was sonder my kennis verander na 'n kamer gekoppel aan agterkant van huis (geen ligte so moes in donker in nag alleen daar in en uit). Watertoevoer was problematies. Moes toilet met ketel vul om te trek en stort se watertemperatuur verander aanmekaar as daar ander watertoevoere oopgemaak word. Stort was baie vuil/matjies in badkamer kort aandag. Kamer self baie gerieflik met nodige geriewe. Ontbyt was heerlik. Baie vriendelike en hupvaardige personeel.

Comfortable rooms with delicious breakfast and friendly and helpful staff.

Nice surroundings, comfortable rooms but a few things need attention. I struggled for more than 20 minutes to get into gate. Original self-catering unit booked was changed without my knowledge to a room connected to back of house (no lights so had to go in and out alone in the dark at night). Water supply was problematic. Had to fill toilet with boiler to draw and shower's water temperature changes when other water supplies are opened. Shower was very dirty/mats in bathroom need attention. Room itself very comfortable with necessary facilities. Breakfast was delicious. Very friendly and competent staff.

Dear Marinka,
I do apologise for the difficulties you had at Summerhill during your stay. We were overseas and didn't know of the problems at the time otherwise we would have done our best to correct them.

I must remind you of your comment regarding any other unit would be fine which is why you did not receive a self-catering unit. The lights to your room should have been on and your unit has its own geyser, the problems of which we were told about on our return and have subsequently corrected.

We appreciate your valid comments.
