Overrated, overpriced en geen plesier.

Die beddegoed was oud en nie wit nie. Alles is beige of bruin en dit skep nie 'n goeie indruk nie. Die spiraal trappe is 'n groot risiko wat nie genoem word nie. Reling is van PVC-pyp en dit is moeilik om op en af te beweeg. Daar was geen warm water om te stort nie en die drukking is baie swak, ten spyte van 'n pomp. Die jacuzzi is baie klein. WiFi werk nie. Die ekstras maak nie op vir die basiese wat nie op standaard is nie. Dit was 'n frustrasie, maar dit was reeds betaal en het toe maar gebly.

Overrated, overpriced and no fun.

The bedding was old and not white. Everything is beige or brown and it does not create a good impression. The spiral stairs are a big risk that is not mentioned. Railing is made of PVC pipe and it is difficult to move up and down. There was no hot water to shower and the pressure is very weak, despite a pump. The jacuzzi is very small. Wi-Fi doesn't work. The extras do not make up for the basic which is not up to standard. It was a frustration, but it was already paid and then it stayed.

100% als wat mens in so 'n verlate plek sou benodig.

Daar's 'n foto van 'n trap op hul advertensie, maar dit sê nie dat die hoofslaapkamer daar bo is en dat ouer mense en/of mense met heupprobleme nie daar sal kan op of snags af na die toilet nie! Aan positiewe kant sal mense met rug-en heupprobleme in alle waarskynlikheid nie hier bepreek nie.

100% everything one would need in such a desolate place.

There's a picture of a staircase on their ad, but it doesn't say that the master bedroom is up there and that older people and/or people with hip problems won't be able to go up there or down to the toilet at night! On the plus side, people with back and hip problems are unlikely to book here.

Love Bubble se foto's en beskrywing is nie heeltemal in lyn met die plek nie.

Die slaapplek is bo in die eenheid en as jy nie goeie balans het nie of sou hy dalk langer as 1.8m of wees of meer as 120kg wees. Die handreling is ook van plastiekbesproeïngpyp gemaak en nie te veilig nie. Die afdraai na die Love Bubble vat jou ook deur 'n grondpad deur 'n informele nedersetting waar jy moet oppas vir pap wiele.

Love Bubble's photos and description do not quite match the place.

The sleeping place is upstairs in the unit and if you don't have good balance or he might be taller than 1.8m or more than 120kg. The handrail is also made of plastic sprinkler pipe and not too safe. The turn off to the Love Bubble also takes you down a dirt road through an informal settlement where you have to watch out for flat tires.

Huis het aandag nodig.

Die toilet was bespat met ons aankoms. Daar is geen pakplek vir persoonlike goed en geen klerekaste. Die linne is moeg en beantwoord beslis nie aan standaarde nie. Matras ook. Die spiraaltrap na die bed is lewensgevaarlik met geen toiletgeriewe in die kamer vir snags. Ouer mense vind dit moeilik en daar is geen waarskuwing vir persone wat nie spiraaltrappe kan klim nie. Ek moes dus onder slaap op die slaapbank sonder beddegoed. Die kombuis het hopeloos te min werksoppervlak. 'n Werksbank langs kombuiskas sal beslis help. Blindings vuil. Die kunsgras voor die deur was meer sand as gras. Geen deurmat. Onkruid groei woes om die plek. Positief was die buitebraai alhoewel nie vooraf in kennis gestel om hout te bring nie. Kaggel uitstekend. Genoeg warm water. Pragtige omgewing.

Home needs attention.

The toilet was splashed upon our arrival. There is no storage space for personal belongings and no wardrobes. The linen is tired and certainly not up to standards. Mattress too. The spiral staircase to the bed is life threatening with no toilet facilities in the room for night time. Older people find it difficult and there is no warning for persons who cannot climb spiral stairs. So I had to sleep downstairs on the sofa bed without bedding. The kitchen has hopelessly too little work surface. A work bench next to kitchen cupboard will definitely help. Blinds dirty. The artificial grass in front of the door was more sand than grass. No doormat. Weeds grow wildly around the place. Positive was the outdoor barbecue although not notified in advance to bring wood. Fireplace excellent. Enough hot water. Beautiful surroundings.

We have a new mattress, the old mattress was 4 years old and purchased brand new. The linen is all high thread count and is very high quality.
Unfortunately with it being a farm stay the wind does blow and we have wild daisies which pop up regularly as we are in Namaqualand.
Storage space for bags is available under the spiral staircase and a new kist in the room upstairs for bags. We have added storage space in the braai area as well to prep food and built up the wall to shield from the wind should it blow.

Die uitsig wanneer die son sak is asemrowend en die vars lug van die natuur het my baie goed gedoen.

Soggens het ek vanaf my slaapkamer na 'n indrukwekkende uitsig gestaar. Smiddae het ons in borrelbad gesit en die sakkende son dopgehou wat baie mooi was.

Die idee en ligging is fantasies, maar dit het ongelukkig nie 'n positiewe indruk gelaat nie.

Die plekkie het baie potensiaal, maar die basiese ontbreek. Maak seblief die plek goed skoon voor aankoms, vee vloere, stof af, was die vensters. Maak seker alles is in werkende toestand, soos handvatsel van toiletdeur val uit die deur. Soos genoem, plek met baie potensiaal, maar moet beter in stand gehou word.

The idea and location are fanciful, but unfortunately it did not leave a positive impression.

The place has a lot of potential, but the basics are missing. Please clean the place well before arrival, sweep floors, dust, wash the windows. Make sure everything is in working order, such as toilet door handle falling out of the door. As mentioned, place with a lot of potential, but needs better maintenance.

Rustic and tranquil.

A few things offered but were not supplied, mosquitoes a huge problem. I think a few citronella candles etc. could have been supplied. Water supply a huge problem to the cottage. Joan and her son went out of their way to assist. Arrived with a flat tyre after traveling 100 km on a dirt road. Think guest must be told to only take the N7 route for that reason. Fortunately Joan's son came to the rescue and put the spare on and told us where to go to get the tyre repaired.

Very nice, but photos on the website are misleading.

On arrival, faults in the cottage were pointed out. Jacuzzi not working properly (unacceptable). No closets or hanging space for clothes, had to live out of suitcases. Can opener broken and many more. Only when we were almost there were we contacted not to forget wood, turned around and went to the nearest town for wood. Stairs to bedroom very steep and dangerous for older people. Bathroom very very small, must open door to turn if in front of face tray. No WiFi reception as advertised. The marketing of the cottage is misleading and does not justify the price. Extremely disappointing.

He popped the question!

My partner and I went to the Love Bubble for a weekend away to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. On the night we arrived, it was the most perfect weather, the sunset was gorgeous and we had a fire on outside. Very relaxing, next thing I know the man of my dreams gets down on one knee and asks me to marry him. Of course I said yes! Cannot wait to come back to this gorgeous place. Was the most relaxing and beautiful place to have stayed for the weekend.

Lieflike plek om saam met jou ander helfte te spandeer.

Ons het ons verblyf terdeë geniet. Die plek was mooi skoon en ons het ook 'n oproep die oggend gekry om ons te verwelkom. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik. My gunsteling was die 2 honde op die erf, 'n labrador en 'n skaaphond met die mooiste geaardhede. Ek sal vir seker weer daar gaan bly. Ek voel ek moet noem dat die huis nie juis geskik is vir die ouer gardes wat sukkel met trappe nie aangesien dit 'n loft is. 11/10 vir hulle!

Lovely place to spend time with your other half.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was nice and clean and we also got a call in the morning to welcome us. The hostess was very friendly. My favorite were the 2 dogs on the yard, a labrador and a sheep dog with the most beautiful personalities. I will definitely stay there again. I feel I should mention that the house is not particularly suitable for the older guards who struggle with stairs as it is a loft. 11/10 for them!

Disappointing.

Service was not professional at all, accused of checking out late when that is not true. Cheese grater was so rusted that it is dangerous to use. Couldn't use spa bath second night as water pressure was non existent. I feel as though I paid for false advertising. It was my birthday on Saturday and I feel as though it was kinda ruined.

The cheese grater has been replaced.
Check-out is strictly at 10:00 due to new guests arriving at 15:00 and in order for us to clean. If no guests are coming we allow our current guests to have a late check out.
We installed a pump in case the water pressure is low, which happens on a rare occasion.

Nie aan te bevele vir ouer mense wat nie in staat is om by 'n steil trap op te klim tot by die bed nie.

Deur 'n rooskleurige bril kan dit romanties wees, maar dis nie prakties om die steil trap te moet aandurf tussen die slaapkamer en die toilet nie.

Ongelooflike mooi eenheid met mooiste uitsig!

Die Love Bubble was regtig verfrissend anders. Die eenheid is regtig mooi en ruim met die mooiste uitsig op die Olifantsrivier. 'n Heerlike plaasatmosfeer. Die Jacuzzi op die houtdek is 'n absolute wenner. Die TV is toegerus met 'n verskeidenheid films en 'n mens kan na hartelus kies. Die eienaars was regtig baie besorg en het gesorg dat alles seepglad verloop.

The owners were really very concerned and made sure everything ran smoothly.
