It was a pleasant enjoyable stay.

The owner was warm and hospitable. Myself and my daughter enjoyed the convenience of the cottage; it had everything you might need and was really awesome to still have access to the WiFi during load shedding. Will definitely recommend.

Baie lekker gebly by The Secret Cottage die naweek.

Die Cottage is op 'n baie goeie location en in 'n lekker stil area. Dit is naby aan die N1 en het ons trip baie gerieflik gemaak. Oswald was 'n baie goeie host en ek sal vir seker weer by The Secret Cottage bly.

Netjies en skoon.

Dit is presies soos in die foto's. Ons het die koffie, suiker, tee, rusks, sout, pepper en olyfolie waardeer. Dis nie iets wat jy sommer kry by besprekings nie. Daar was ook oorgenoeg handdoeke, alhoewel ons net vir die naweek daar was. Was baie beïndruk. Dankie Oswald.

It is exactly as in the photos. We appreciated the coffee, sugar, tea, rusks, salt, pepper and olive oil. It's not something you just get from bookings. There were also plenty of towels, even though we were only there for the weekend. Was very impressed. Thank you Oswald.

Ons het 'n hartelike ontvangs gehad. Die gasheer en -vrou was uiters behulpsaam en vriendelik, hulle het selfs die tweede myl met ons gestap. Voorwaar 'n aanbeveling en my toekomste oornagplek wanneer ek weer in Kaapstad moet wees.

Teleurstellend.

Plek is onversorg. Mikrogolf vuil, nie skoon gemaak na vorige gaste nie. Buitekant ook baie lanklaas skoongemaak. Tamatiesousspatsels teen die muur. Seep Bakke vol seep opdrifsels. Gordyne stukkend en vuil. Geen hangers. Stort vuil. Kaste onder wasbak het 'n muwwe reuk. Die plekkie kan kan 'n goeie oornag wees nadat dit diep skoon gemaak is en sekere items vervang is.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Disappointing.

Place is unkempt. Microwave dirty, not cleaned after previous guests. Exterior also not cleaned for a long time. Tomato sauce splatters on the wall. Soap Bowls full of soap scum. Curtains broken and dirty. No hangers. Dump dirt. Cabinets under sink have a musty smell. The place can be a good overnighter after it has been deep cleaned and certain items have been replaced.

The Secret Cottage 's response

Ons is baie jammer om te verneem van julle ervaring, en waardeer die terugvoering.

Indien julle ons sou kontak tydens julle verblyf, sou ons dadelik 'n plan gemaak het om seker te maak alles is soos julle dit graag wil he en dat julle alle benodighede het.

Ons het 'n skoonmaker wat elke keer nadat iemand daar gebly het skoonmaak en ook areas disinfekteer (Covid-19 protokol), en sal by haar opvolg om seker maak daar word deeglik skoongemaak.

Ons was nie bewus van die skeur in die kantgordyn nie en het dit vervang. Daar is ook altyd hangers in die kas, so vra om verskoning dat dit weg was. Indien julle gevra het sou ons dadelik nog kon verskaf.

Weereens dankie vir die terugvoering. Ons streef daarna om net die beste vir ons gaste te bied en seker te maak hulle is gelukkig en tevrede. Hoop om julle weer in die toekoms te sien.

Die kothuis was naby die plekke waar ons moes wees sowel as winkels. Dit is ook in 'n rustige omgewing met min verkeer geleë. Dit het voldoen aan al ons behoeftes. Net reg vir 2 mense. Die eienaars was baie gasvry en behulpsaam. Sal dit vir ander aanbeveel en sal ook weer daar wil bly.

Wat 'n aangename ervaring!

Skoon, netjies en toegerus met alles wat jy moontlik kan benodig en dan nog 'n paar ekstras ook. Die eienaars is op die perseel en altyd beskikbaar indien jy iets sou benodig. Daar word baie moeite gedoen om seker te maak gaste is gemaklik en het alles wat nodig is. Die vouer met inligting oor waar skoonmaakmiddels, komberse, ens. gevind kan word, is regtig 'n baie oulike idee. The Secret Cottage sal beslis my eerste keuse wees wanneer ek weer in die Kaap oorbly.

What a pleasant experience!

Clean, tidy and equipped with everything you could possibly need and then some extras too. The owners are on site and always available if you need anything. A lot of effort is made to make sure guests are comfortable and have everything they need. The folder with information about where cleaning products, blankets, etc. can be found is really a very cool idea. The Secret Cottage will definitely be my first choice when I stay in the Cape again.

Het lekker gebly en alle basiese goed wat jy nodig het was daar. Eienaar was heeltyd beskikbaar.

Dit is heel veilig. Dink net dit sou bietjie beter gewees het indien die ingang privaat was, nie dat daar probleme was nie, maar voel net asof jy minder oortree omdat jy elke keer by die voordeur met verby loop na die blyplek wat op dieselfde erf is.

Had a nice stay and all basic things you need were there. Owner was available all the time.

It is very safe. Just think it would have been a bit better if the entrance was private, not that there were any problems, but just feel like you're trespassing less because you walk past the front door every time to the accommodation which is on the same plot.
