Mooiste uitsig en vriendelikste personeel.

Ons is hartlik ontvang deur die vriendelikste, behulpsaamste personeel. Die restaurant het die mooiste uitsigte en ons kos was smaaklik. Ek was gerus as die kinders self omgeloop het na die speelplekkie. Als in die kamers was netjies en skoon. Ons sal definitief weer daar oorbly.

Most beautiful view and friendliest staff.

We were warmly received by the friendliest, most helpful staff. The restaurant has the most beautiful views and our food was tasty. I was relieved if the children themselves walked around to the playground. Everything in the rooms was neat and clean. We will definitely stay there again.

Gehalte-verblyf.

My kamer was netjies en goed toegerus met 'n gemaklike bed, klein yskassie en TV met beperkte DStv-kanale (beeldkwaliteit nie watwonders, maar ek kyk elk geval nie TV nie, so dit het persoonlik nie gepla nie). Die kamer het 'n glasdeur na die aangrensende eenheid gehad en die bure se gesprekke was dalk 'n bietjie te duidelik hoorbaar. Die omgewing is rustig en het pragtige uitsig na die Swartberge. Ontbyt was heerlik en genoeg verskeidenheid met 'n hele paar luukses ook.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Quality accommodation.

My room was neat and well equipped with a comfortable bed, small fridge and TV with limited DStv channels (picture quality not surprising, but I don't watch TV anyway, so it didn't bother me personally). The room had a glass door to the adjoining unit and the neighbors' conversations could be heard a little too clearly. The environment is peaceful and has a beautiful view to the Swartberge. Breakfast was delicious and enough variety with quite a few luxuries too.

Baie aangenaam.

Klein dingetjies pla: Die vloere van die storte baie gevaarlik glad, 'n enkele glymatjie opgerol in die handdoekmandjie nie genoeg. Eers wanneer persoon in die stort is, besef jy dis gevaarlik glad. Plaas kennisgewing of plaas permanente glymat in stort. In elk geval sou 'n gas nie verwag dat 'n gastekamer van die gehalte wat dit is, plastiese vloere in die storte sal hê nie. Lawaai deur die nag van aangrensende perseel is lastig. 'n Gasteplek van hierdie gehalte sal nie 'n gas om 14:00 laat wag om te kan inboek nie. Indien wel a.g.v. spesiale omstandighede, sal minstens iets te drinke gratis aangebied word. Ons was dankbaar dat die loft addisioneel beskikbaar was vir ons gas, maar indien dit dien as 'n ekstra gastekamer, behoort dit van 'n dakvenster voorsien te word. Onaangenaam om die hele nag met 'n lugverkoeler en sonder vars lug te slaap. Ondanks hierdie sakies, het ons aangename herinneringe van ons verblyf. 'n Seepbakkie en 'n haak in die stort, sou baie meer gerieflik gewees het.

Very pleasant.

Small things bother: The floors of the showers very dangerously slippery, a single sliding mat rolled up in the towel basket is not enough. Only when the person is in the shower do you realize it's dangerously slippery. Post notice or place permanent sliding mat in shower. In any case, a guest would not expect a guest room of its quality to have plastic floors in the showers. Noise through the night from adjacent premises is troublesome. A guesthouse of this quality will not make a guest wait at 2pm to check in. If so due to special circumstances, at least something to drink will be offered free of charge. We were grateful that the loft was additionally available for our guest, but if it serves as an extra guest room, it should be provided with a skylight. Unpleasant to sleep all night with an air conditioner and no fresh air. Despite these issues, we have pleasant memories of our stay. A soap dish and a hook in the shower would have been much more convenient.

Ongelooflike lekker naweek.

Was ingeteken vanaf Vrydag tot Sondag vir 'n troue. Ek het werklik geen klagtes nie, almal was so behulpsaam, die omgewing so mooi en die kos uitstekend. My enigste aanbeveling sou wees dat die huidige muurproppe vervang moet word met die nuwe Veti-reeks wat onder andere 'n USB-koppelpunt en 'n internasionale sok bevat, en dit kan nie deur gaste weggedra word nie. Sal Surval beslis aanbeveel vir al my vriende en familie.

Unbelievably nice weekend.

Stayed here from Friday to Sunday for a wedding. I really have no complaints, everyone was so helpful, the area was so beautiful and the food excellent. My only recommendation would be that the current wall plugs should be replaced with the new Veti range, which includes a USB link point and an international sock, and can not be taken by guests. Will definitely recommend Surval to all my friends and family.

Ongelooflik lekker gebly. Ontbyt wat ingesluit was, was 'n groot teleurstelling.

Verblyf ongelooflik mooi. Ontbytverskeidenheid baie teleurstellend met geen keuse hoe eiers gedoen word nie. Swak koffie bedien met ontbyt. Bakke wat leeg geraak het, is nie weer vol gemaak nie. Bestuur reageer negatief na my kommentaar aan hulle gestuur is. Oop area waar kos bedien was, was ysig koud.

Na 'n hele paar kilometers op ons motorfietse was dit 'n lafenis om daar in te klok. Vriendelike, behulpsame mense. Ons is vermaak met 'n pragtige kaberet vertoning en het heerlike kaas en wyn geniet, en natuurlik die olywe! Om in Engels te sê: We enjoyed our Bill!

Fantasties!

Wat 'n pragtige, stylvolle plek met vriendelike diens en heerlike kos! Ek en my man kon nie ons oë glo toe ons by hierdie oase se hekke inry nie ... Ons het op no. 99 tydens die KKNK 'n probleem met ons ander bespreking in Oudtshoorn gehad en LekkeSlaap se dames het ons uit ons penarie gehelp en vir ons plek gekry by hierdie juweel in die Klein Karoo. Dit was so lekker by Surval dat ons nie eers lus was om na Oudtshoorn te ry vir die KKNK nie! Daar is soveel moeite gedoen met die uitleg en die dekor van die landgoed. Soveel detail en goeie smaak sien mens nie elke dag nie. Ons sal verseker weer hier tuisgaan met 'n volgende besoek aan Oudtshoorn en Surval by al ons vriende aanbeveel.

What a beautiful, stylish place with friendly service and delicious food! My husband and I couldn't believe our eyes when we drove into the gates of this oasis... We arrived at no. 99 during the KKNK had a problem with our other reservation in Oudtshoorn and LekkeSlaap's ladies helped us out of our predicament and got us a place at this gem in the Klein Karoo. It was so much fun at Surval that we didn't even feel like driving to Oudtshoorn for the KKNK! So much effort has gone into the layout and decor of the estate. You don't see so much detail and good taste every day. We will certainly stay here again on a next visit to Oudtshoorn and recommend Surval to all our friends.
