Host didn't leave key for us as arranged, had to make a few phone calls after hours to get access to the unit.

House noisy inside. No alternative power when there is loadshedding. Bathroom very inconvenient and small. Otherwise fine.

Dear Rinie, I am so sorry about the communication issue on our side and that you had to wait 10 min for me to get there after you called. We do contact all guests prior to them arriving so that that have my cell number to call for any issues so they can be speedily resolved.
All our rooms are provided with battery backup bulbs so that they have light during load shedding. Our Wi-Fi has back up and has never been down, even in 4 hour load shedding we have been on line and our geysers stay hot. We are looking at installing a gas hob for cooking as load shedding looks to increase, we do try to be proactive to keep our guests comfortable. I can recommend chatting to your host for future stays as all of us, in this industry, will go out of our way to resolve any problems and make sure you are comfortable. We are generally known for our restful stay but while you were here we did have a young couple celebrating a birthday rather noisy on the one morning, this is not a norm and we allowed a bit of celebrating before asking them to tone it down, perhaps I should have closed it down straight away - a difficult call for a host, as you want to try and keep everyone happy. We handle each situation on its own merits depending on time of day etc. Again if any other guests advise a problem then we close it down straight away. Our bathrooms are a standard en-suite format but we will certainly take a look and see what we can do to make it more use friendly.

I really appreciate the time you have taken to do a review, guest experiences are very important and we will be taking your suggestions to heart and seeing how we can improve the overall experience. Regards. Gail

In 'n stil, rustige area met skoon geriewe.

Die gastehuis was goed geleë vir my, goed uiteengesit, baie skoon en netjies. Die staf was ook behulpsaam en vriendelik. Onthou net om nie te vergeet om te reël vir parkering nie.

Average.

Fairly comfortable. Pillows and towels not great. Only half a toilet roll for 3 days. Mosquitos bad and no repellent supplied. For the price we expected a little more.

Dis fine, maar sal nie weer daar bly nie.

Die fan in ons slaapkamer het nie gewerk nie. Vars melk vir koffie was lekker.

It's fine, but wouldn't stay there again.

The fan in our bedroom did not work. Fresh milk for coffee was nice.

Sjarmante kunstenaarswoning in uiterste sentrale ligging.

Veilige verblyf in gerieflike kunstenaarshuis, naby 'n wye verskeidenheid van restaurante. Heerlike oggendkoffie in rustige tuintjie met die sang van voëls, en pragtige uitsig op die berge rondom.

Charming, artsy accommodation, super central location.

Safe accommodation in a comfortable artist's house, close to various restaurants. Lovely morning coffee in a peaceful garden with the birds singing in the background and a beautiful mountain view.

We found the studio quaint and comfortable.

This place is suitable for a quiet get away. Has WiFi which is good for a group but no television or pool area to have gatherings.

Felt like a short holiday.

Baie netjies en skoon en rustig. Gasvroue vriendelik en tegemoetkomend. Het baie tuis gevoel tot op 'n sekere punt. Hou nie van die parkering op straat nie. Slaap nie rustig so nie.

Clean bed and basic accommodation in quiet house.

The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The room we were in met our requirement for the short stay. There are other more spacious rooms available at a higher price. We were fortunate to have the only off-street parking, failing which one needs to park in the street along with many other residents.

Skoon en gerieflik. Stil woonbuurt.

In vergelyking met 'n ander plek in Claremont waar ek oorgebly het vir die hele week vir amper dieselfde prys, het ek hier geen televisie met DStv gehad nie. Daar was ook geen beskuit, jogurt of muesli aangebied nie, wat 'n verblyf in 'n vreemde plek soveel meer aangenaam kan maak. John Bauer se pottery studio was naby my kantoor in Claremont waaroor ek baie bly was.

Clean and comfortable. Quiet neighborhood.

Compared to another place in Claremont where I stayed for the whole week for almost the same price, here I had no television with DStv. There were also no biscuits, yogurt or muesli on offer, which can make a stay in a strange place that much more pleasant. John Bauer's pottery studio was close to my office in Claremont which I was very happy about.

Netjies en naby alles.

Die dame wat ons gehelp het was baie vriendelik en hulpsaam oor die foon. Ons het net 'n probleem gehad met die was van ons koffiekoppies. Al plek om dit te was is die klein wasbakkie in die badkamer. My koppie kon nie daar in pas nie. Daar was ook net een rolletjie toiletpapier gewees, ek sal voorstel dat daar ten minste 2 moet wees.

Neat and close to everything.

The lady who helped us was very friendly and helpful on the phone. We just had a problem with washing our coffee cups. The only place to wash it is the small sink in the bathroom. My cup couldn't fit in there. There was also only one roll of toilet paper, I would suggest that there should be at least 2.
