Gerieflike en rustige oornag akkommodasie.

Die bespreking was baie gerieflik en maklik. Die plek is maklik om te vind. Kamer was netjies en skoon met alles wat nodig is vir oornag.

Skoon en netjies, maar nie 4-ster verblyf nie. Eerder meer na 3-ster.

Braaigeriewe het ontbreek en sal 'n pluspunt wees. Met beurtkrag was hul nie bereid om kragopwekker vir volle tyd aan te sit nie, as gas op reis is mens nie ingerig om sonder krag klaar te kom nie. Matrasse baie hard en ongemaklik.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Clean and tidy, but not 4-star accommodation. Rather more towards 3-star.

Braai facilities were missing and would be a plus. With load shedding, they were not prepared to turn on the generator for full time, as a guest on a trip one is not equipped to do without power. Mattresses very hard and uncomfortable.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek in 'n bitter mooi en netjiese plek.

Die kamers is baie mooi en netjies. Ons het heerlik geslaap en kon lekker kuier by die koffiewinkel. Personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ek beveel dit enige dag aan vir iemand. Baie dankie.

Goeie oornagstop.

Ons het by The Venue oor geslaap op pad Kaap toe en dis vir seker 'n goeie stop vir so iets. Plek was goed ingerig alhoewel ek persoonlik net 'n stofsuier op die bank sou gebruik om tussen die kussings bietjie skoon te maak maar dit was nie 'n "dealbreaker" nie net 'n persoonlike voorstel.

Good overnight stop.

We slept over at The Venue on the way to the Cape and it's probably a good stop for something like this. Place was well furnished although personally I would just use a vacuum cleaner on the couch to clean between the cushions a bit but it wasn't a "deal breaker" just a personal suggestion.

Teleurstellend.

Die plek is gemaak vir troues en hul gaste. Ja daar is borde en.s met feitlik alles wat jy nodig het vir selfsorg, maar bv. geen afdroogdoeke of opwasseep nie. Die yskas was in maande nooit skoongemaak nie en die skottelgoed was alles half gewas in die kaste. Ek het by plekke gebly teen helfte van die prys met geen sterre nie wat 100 keer beter toegerus en skoner is. Dit was my laaste nag van 'n wonderlike vakansie wat ek amper 5000 km deur die land gereis het, maar my grootste teleursteling. Vir troues is dit perfek want jy eet op ander plekke, maar hier het jy nie eens 'n tafeltjie binne of buite nie. Baie onprakties vir iemand wat werklik selfsorg soek.

Translate to English.

Disappointing.

The place is made for weddings and their guests. Yes there are plates etc. with practically everything you need for self-catering, but e.g. no drying cloths or dish soap. The fridge had never been cleaned in months and the dishes were all half-washed in the cupboards. I've stayed at places for half the price with no stars that are 100 times better equipped and cleaner. It was my last night of a wonderful holiday that I traveled almost 5000 km across the country, but my biggest disappointment. For weddings it's perfect because you eat in other places, but here you don't even have a table inside or outside. Very impractical for someone who is really looking for self-care.

Comfortable enough, but we arrived to find that the venue was closed.

A caretaker was there to check us in, but the restaurant / coffee shop was closed until after we left. There was little to no notice given of the closure, either while booking or before arrival.

Really unpleasant not to have access to a room in time for you to get ready for function after a very early booking and 550km of travel.

We got there on Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm and had to wait 35 minutes before someone showed up at the premises so we could check in and get to our room. There were staff in the kitchen but they said they couldn't help us. The kitchen staff ended up calling 2 different people who were both supposed to be there within 5 minutes, but no one came until just after 3pm. In the end we only had half an hour to get ready for and drive to the wedding. I made calls to The Venue's phone number, but it kept going to music. When the person at reception finally arrived, I already told her during the check-in that we were very dissatisfied and would not be staying for the 2nd night. We tried to check out at The Venue at around 08:30 on Sunday morning, but there was no one at reception. So we left the key in the room and drove off.

Effens teleurgesteld.

Ons het so baie uitgesien na ons verblyf by julle - maar was baie teleurgesteld. Ons het glad nie geslaap waar ons verwag het nie. Ons moes in 'n plot huis slaap en dit boonop deel met totale vreemdelinge. Ons is glad nie vooraf daarvan in kennis gestel nie. Op die koop toe moes ons ook nog deur die gang badkamer toe loop (nadat die advertensie gesê het dis en suite-kamers). Let wel: met ander mense wat die huis met jou deel. Die badkamerdeur wou ook nie oop of toe. Hul het ons in kennis gestel jy moet maar net bietjie aggressie gebruik. Ons is regtig baie teleurgesteld! Eerste oggend met ontbyt moes ons ook vra vir botter/margarien saam met ons toast. Filterkoffie was ook min - jy kon nie 'n tweede koppie drink nie. Ek sal aanbeveel dat jy in kennis gestel word as verblyf gewysig word. Die grondpad na die plothuis is ook baie swak - ek weet nie hoe gaste met motors dit gaan ry nie? Veral as jy nie weet jy gaan so ver grondpad ry nie aangesien The Venue eintlik reg langs die pad is.

Slightly disappointed.

We were so looking forward to our stay with you - but were very disappointed. We didn't sleep at all where we expected. We had to sleep in a plot house and share it with complete strangers. We were not informed about it in advance at all. At the time of purchase, we also had to walk through the corridor to the bathroom (after the advertisement said they were en-suite rooms). Note: with other people who share the house with you. The bathroom door wouldn't open or close either. They informed us that you should only use a little aggression. We are really very disappointed! First morning at breakfast we also had to ask for butter/margarine with our toast. Filter coffee was also scarce - you couldn't have a second cup. I would recommend that you are notified if accommodation is changed. The dirt road to the plot house is also very poor - I don't know how guests with cars will drive it? Especially if you don't know you're going to drive that far on a dirt road as The Venue is actually right next to the road.

The Venue 's response

Beste Ronelle
Ek is so jammer dat jy teleurgesteld is. Ek kan jou belowe dat elke gas wat by ons oorbly se behoeftes van belang is. Ek sien dat jy nie direk by ons bespreek het nie, ek glo dat die misverstand daar ingekom het.
Oral waar ons gelys is, is die kamers wat op die ander perseel is gelys as Annex. Ons het dit juis gemerk as Annex omdat dit die volgende beteken. "a building joined to or associated with a main building, providing additional space or accommodation."

Kan jy asb die advertensie vir ons aanstuur wat adverteer dat dit 'n en-suite is. Ons sal dit graag onmiddellik wil verander, baie jammer hieroor. Ons is nie bewus hiervan nie.
Ek vra ook om verskoning oor die botter en die koffie, ons is baie gemaklik en hanteer ons gaste as familie en vriende, dus sou ons nie gehuiwer het om meer aan te bied nie.
Ek nooi jou uit om ons in die toekoms direk te kontak vir 'n bespreking.
Hoop jy vind dit in orde.
Vriendelike Groete
