Klein maar gemaklik.

Ons het vinnig oornag en het nie baie nodig gehad nie, maar ek sou graag meer tyd daar spandeer. Baie goed toegerus, al is die plekkie klein. Baie moeite gedoen om insekte buite te hou, en ons kon heerlik slaap met oop vensters. Veilige parkeerplek, en lekker erf, heerlik vir kleiner kinders om te verken.

Small but comfortable.

We had a quick overnight stay and didn't need much, but I would have liked to spend more time there. Very well equipped, even though the place is small. A lot of effort was made to keep insects out, and we were able to sleep comfortably with the windows open. Secure parking, and nice yard, great for smaller children to explore.

Waarde vir geld vir die doel waarvoor ons die verblyf in Botrivier benodig het.

Swan Gables het ons geakkommodeer, nadat hulle eintlik vol bespreek was, baie dankie. Kamer was skoon en netjies. Toiletpapier het opgeraak, maar is dadelik aangevul nadat ons dit aangemeld het (daar was nie 'n ekstra rol nie). Stortwater was koud, maar gas is ook dadelik vervang nadat ons dit aangemeld het. Ligte in kamer was baie dof en ons moes ons eie beligting gebruik. Vreemde rioolreuk is opgemerk as die badkamer se waaier aan was. Water by wasbak het 'n metaalsmaak. Nie seker of dit geskik is vir drink nie. Geluide van kamer langsaan kon duidelik gehoor word. Nogtans was die verblyf funksioneel, dankie.

Value for money for the purpose for which we needed the accommodation in Botrivier.

Swan Gables accommodated us, after they were actually fully booked, thank you very much. Room was clean and tidy. Toilet paper ran out but was immediately replenished after we reported it (there wasn't an extra roll). Shower water was cold, but gas was also replaced immediately after we reported it. Lights in room were very dim and we had to use our own lighting. Strange sewage smell was noticed when the bathroom fan was on. Water at sink has a metallic taste. Not sure if it is suitable for drinking. Sounds from the room next door could be clearly heard. Nevertheless, the accommodation was functional, thank you.

Unprofessional.

Accommodation was not at Swan Gables itself and the unit provided was not clean. Old food in the microwave, dirty plates in the cupboard, no hot water for washing dishes. Double bed in the unit was not covered and the general feeling of the hosts was unwelcoming. When the old chicken in the microwave was pointed out, the hostess's comment was that at least it wasn't rotten. Weak. Old shop slips etc. was in the bedside drawer. Nail brush full of hair was found in the bathroom sink.

Baie slegte ondervinding, sal nooit weer van gebruik maak.

Het nie 'n duvetbinneste vir die oortreksel voorsien nie, was nogal koel daardie aand. Eenheid langs ons het 4 uur die oggend gaste ontvang. Baie geraas gemaak, geen tegemoetkoming toe ons 5 uur 'n klag maak nie. Nie baie behulpsaam toe ons by die eienaar kla nie. Sal nie aanbeveel nie.

Didn't provide a duvet inner for the cover, was quite cool that night. Unit next to us received guests at 4 o'clock in the morning. Made a lot of noise, no accommodation when we made a complaint at 5 o'clock. Not very helpful when we complained to the owner. Would not recommend.

Ek en my metgesel was bitter teleurgesteld in die stand van die akkommodasie.

Die advertensie is misleidend vir die rede nie een van die eienskappe was teenwoordig. Ons was onder die indruk dat als op een perseel is en dan in alternatiewe wooneenhede omskep is, ongelukkig was dit nie so en ons by 'n wooneenheid beland wat nie die prys werd was nie. Ons het agterna uitgevind dis 'n agent wat als reël, sodoende nie haar eie plekke nie. Die wooneenheid kort opknapingswerk, dis letterlik 'n Wendy-huis, gevolglik as die wind waai was dit onplesierig gewees, boomtakke en dakplate wat aanhoundend teen die gebou kap. Die gordyne, beddegoed is oud en geen karakter nie, die water in die yskas was oud en die yskas was afgeskakel, moes eers wag voor dit koud raak om te gebruik. Geensins was enige van die kenmerke soos adverteer beskikbaar nie.

Translate to English.

My partner and I were super disappointed in the state of the accommodation.

The advertisement is misleading because none of the features were present. We were under the impression that everything is on one premises and then converted into alternative housing units, unfortunately it was not the case and we ended up in a residential unit that was not worth the price. Afterwards, we found out that it was an agent arranging everything, so it wasn't her own place. The unit needs renovation, it's literally a Wendy house, so if the wind blows it was unpleasant, tree branches and roof tiles continuously slashing against the building. The curtains, bedding are old and have no character, the water in the fridge was old and the fridge was turned off, had to wait for it to get cold before we could use it. Not any of the features were available as advertised.

Eenvoudig, voldoende, vriendelik.

Thea het ons op kort kennisgewing kon help met oornagverblyf. Sy was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, en toe sy hoor dat ons sukkel om die deposito te betaal, het sy aangebied dat ons dit met aankoms betaal. Die kamer was gerieflik ingerig en daar was 'n inligtingsbrosjure met nuttige inligting oor winkels en besienswaardighede. Daar was nie kosmaakgeriewe nie, maar daar is 'n paar restaurante binne stapafstand, en natuurlik die wynlandgoedere in die omgewing. Daar was ook drie dierbare, ordentlike hondjies wat kom groet het.

Thea helped us with overnight accommodation on short notice. She was very friendly and helpful, and when she heard we had trouble paying the deposit, she offered that we pay it when we arrived. The room was convenient and there was a info brochure with useful info about shops and attractions. There weren't any cooking facilities, but there are a few restaurants within walking distance and of course wine estates in the area. Three adorable, well-mannered dogs also came to greet us.

Baie rustig en stil area, ruim blyplek.

Ek het in Kitty Paws gebly, 'n woonstel agter 'n huis. Dit sal nie vir almal stapafstand wees na die hotel toe nie, maar vir my was dit perfek omdat ek rustigheid gesoek het. Ek het nie kritiek of klagtes nie, maar wees bewus daarvan dat dit 'n gasgeyser het vir die stort en dat dié soms temperamenteel is. Ek is gelukkig gewoond aan gas en dit het my nie so baie gepla nie.

I stayed at Kitty Paws, an apartment behind a house. It won't be walking distance to the hotel for everyone, but for me it was perfect since I wanted some relaxation. I don't have complaints, but be aware that there is a gas geyser for the shower and that it is sometimes a bit temperamental. Luckily I am used to working with gas so it didn't bother me too much.

Die gas-geyser se werking word beinvloed deur die waterdruk. Dit wissel ongelukkig hier in Botrivier, en as die waterdruk te laag is, wil die geyser se vlam nie aankom nie.

Ek is nie bewus daarvan dat Kitty-Paws meld dat die gastekamer naby die hotel is nie.

Foto is baie misleidend en sou dit nie aanbeveel nie.

Eerste indruk was 'n NEE! Lyk soos plek wat lank onbewoon is. Definitief nie waarde vir geld as ek die prys vergelyk met plekke met see-uitsig nie. Kamer was skoon maar geriewe onvoldoende. Stort is of koud of baie warm. Baie instandhouding nodig in die kamer, b.v. plafon is stukkend. Dis 'n skattejag tussen afgesaagde bome, tuinvullis en houtbanke tot by die kamer. Die droogte is nie 'n verskoning vir slordigheid nie. Gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam om basiese items te voorsien op aanvraag. Dit is jammer want ek dink hier is baie potensiaal as die basiese net gedoen word.

Photo is very misleading and I wouldn't recommend it.

First impression was a NO! Looks like a place that hasn't been lived in in a long time. Definitely not value for money when comparing the price with places with a sea view. Room was clean, but facilities insufficient. Shower is either cold or very hot. Lots of upkeep is needed in the room, for example: the ceiling is broken. It's a treasure hunt between the sawn-off trees, garden waste and wooden benches, till you get to the room. The drought is no excuse for sloppiness. Hostess was very friendly and helpful with providing basic items on request. It's a pity because I think there's so much potential if the basics are just attended to.

Gekry waarvoor ek betaal het.

Die kamer was skoon en netjies. Kon net die gepraat en bewegings van die mense in die kamer langsaan hoor. Sementvloere was bietjie koud, maar verder baie lekker gebly. Kon sommer stap na die hotel en ander restaurant.

Got what I paid for.

The room was clean and tidy. Could only hear the talking and movements of the people in the next room. Cement floors were a bit cold, but otherwise very nice stay. Could just walk to the hotel and other restaurant.

Teleurgesteld om nie te kry waarvoor ek bespreek het nie.

Teleurgesteld. Swan Gables was onvoorbereid toe ons daar aankom die aand. Hulle het dadelik vir ons 'n kamer gegee, maar dit was nie die "cottage" waarvoor ons bespreek en betaal het nie. Die plek was netjies en skoon, maar nie spesiaal nie. Sal nie weer teruggaan nie.

Disappointed not to get what I booked for.

Disappointed. Swan Gables was unprepared when we arrived that evening. They immediately gave us a room, but it was not the "cottage" we booked and paid for. The place was neat and clean, but not special. Will not go back again.

As one would expect

Very friendly welcome, room was very tidy, water pressure was good in the shower. The rooms were just very 'boring' and plain. Fridge next to the bed is also very disturbing - we just unplugged it as we didn't need it.

Net daar geslaap.

Ons het baie plekke in die omgewing besoek, en dit was ideaal as oornagfasiliteit.

Just slept there.

We visited many places in the area, and this was ideal as an overnight facility.

Very peaceful and relaxing!

This is the ideal place if you want to break away from the busy city atmosphere. A nice area for relaxing and very peaceful.
