Ons het slegs oornag maar fasiliteite was baie netjies en skoon.

Baie oulike gastehuis. Eienaars het ons tegemoet gekom met inkloktyd en alles was baie netjies en skoon.

Baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige personeel. Baie, netjiese skoon kamers. Aanbeveel aan enige reisiger deur Vaalwater of omgewing.

Geen moeite te veel vir personeel t.o.v. administrasie, reël van ontbyt vroeër as gewoonlik in die vorm van wegneemontbyt. Was smaaklik, goed verpak en gereed ten tye van vertrek. Personeel baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of neat clean rooms. Recommended to any traveler through Vaalwater or surroundings.

No trouble too much for staff regarding administration, arranging breakfast earlier than usual in the form of takeaway breakfast. Was tasty, well packed and ready at the time of departure. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Uitstekende diens en waarde vir geld.

Ons het oorgeslaap as groep van 5 persone en ons het met ons avontuur motorfietse gery en Esbe en haar dogter het een van ons groep selfs met die voertuig dorp toe geneem asook was daar vir ons 'n braai teen billike pryse as deel van ons aandete met ys en alles wat aan ons behoeftes voorsien het baie dankie, Esbe en jou span.

We slept over as a group of 5 people and we rode motorbikes with our adventure and Esbe and her daughter even took one of our group to town with the vehicle as well as there was a braai for us at reasonable prices as part of our dinner with ice and everything that met our needs, thank you very much, Esbe and your team.

Ek het net oorgeslaap vir een aand. Alles was 100% en ek kan nie fout vind met geriewe beskikbaar nie.

Ek was nie daar vir vakansie. Het ongeveer 17:30 gearriveer en het die volgende oggend 0:H00 weer vertrek. Alles was skoon, netjies en in werkende toestand.

Overcharged for service.

No aircons, no DStv, selected channels, no breakfast at that price ─ I think it is a bit unrealistic to request this rate in Vaalwater without any of mentioned included.

Baie netjies en skoon, pragtig ingerig.

Ons het heerlik gebly en alles was in tip-top kondisie. Ons het als gehad wat ons nodig kon kry. Enigste kritiek is dat ons gedink het daar is 'n ontbyt ingesluit by die oornagprys, wat toe nie die geval was nie.

Kort.

Esbe was baie vriendelik, behulpsaam met inligting en tegemoetkomend. Die kamer was skoon en netjies. Indien ek langer kon bly, sou ek die tuin ook geniet het. Die volgende punte noem ek slegs adviserend en nie as kritiek nie. Ek verstaan dat hulle nog nie lank oop is nie en wil daarom net ietsie uitlig. Die stort se warm water was nie regtig warm nie. Het nie eers nodig gehad om die koue water oop te maak nie. Beligting baie swak. Hoewel die ambient lighting 'n goeie atmosfeer skep oor die algemeen voel ek dat daar ten minste een skerp lig moet wees. Ek het vreeslik gesukkel om te sien toe ek grimering gedoen het byvoorbeeld. Verder geen klagtes. Het heerlik geslaap op 'n gemaklike knus bed. Ek wens hulle alle sukses toe met hulle onderneming.

Translate to English.

Short.

Esbe was very friendly, helpful with information and accommodating. The room was clean and tidy. If I could stay longer, I would have enjoyed the garden too. I mention the following points only as advisory and not as criticism. I understand that they haven't been open long yet and therefore just want to highlight something. The shower's hot water was not really hot. Didn't even need to turn on the cold water. Lighting very poor. Although the ambient lighting creates a good atmosphere in general, I feel that there should be at least one bright light. I had terrible trouble seeing when I was doing makeup, for example. Other than that, no complaints. Had a wonderful sleep on a comfortable cozy bed. I wish them every success with their venture.

Bernadette, baie dankie vir jou mooi resensie. Ons sal beslis aandag gee aan die ligte. Die waterprobleem is 'n eerste, maar dit het ons laat besef dat as gastehuis vol is, ons nou defnitief nog 'n geyser sal moet installeer. Hoop dat alles reg sal wees as julle weer kom. So help ons mekaar.

Skoon en gerieflik, maar lawaaierige omgewing.

Kamers is skoon en gerieflik, maar die omgewing was lawaaierig tot laat die nag. Die gesamentlike eet- en sitarea kan doen met 'n opknapping en die TV is stokoud. Veiligheid van geparkeerde voertuie is ook 'n bekommernis.
