Unprepared for our arrival.

We arrived around 7pm after travelling since the morning. This was the last night and supposed to be highlight of a family reunion. Despite receiving pre arrival communication from the host, they were not prepared for out arrival. Electricity and geyser was not switched on. Everything was absolutely filthy; I wish I could post photos here. Stove top rusted and tears of filth running down the side of the stove. Coffee machine rusted and filthy. Cobwebs. Dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. Dirty kitchen sink. Towels in the bathroom were used. Light fitting in the bathroom was lying on the edge of the bath. The flatlet had mouse droppings everywhere. We killed four cockroaches in the flatlet in less than an hour of our arrival. I called the owner and although she offered to send someone to clean; it was way past seven and I said we would just do it ourself. Thus we swept and mopped both the main house and flatlet. Washed out the bathrooms. Wanted to change the bedding but the spare set in the bottom of the cupboard had mouse droppings and a live cockroach. I owner said the bedding and towels had to be clean as she changed them herself in November. Our booking was for mid December? More than two weeks after the last linen change? Braai is a flimsy rusted steel contraption hidden behind the house. There were five plastic chairs also behind the house that we needed to clean before we could used them. We decided to not clean anymore and carried out the living room chairs. The owner refunded me in full but I should have charged a cleaning fee as well! Turns out there was a miscommunication about who needed to clean the place and it was never cleaned. Hands down the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. If Langebaan was not as full, we would not have stayed. The house has huge potential and great views but is severely neglected and needs a lot of money spent on it to make it passable.

Acceptable.

The property is not fenced off from the road, so there is no secure parking. The property is in desperate need of attention and has no shade, making it an unpleasant stay in summer. The 3 sleeper accommodation is a waste of time and if not part of the main house, you have no extras, like towels, blankets, cutlery, TV. We had to be moved to the main house as we complained about the condition of the flatlet. As an 8 sleeper property, it is totally overpriced for what you are getting. Will not stay there again.

Dear Greg,

I'm so sorry that you had an unpleasant experience. I appreciate the considerate way in which you stated your grievances, so I can attend to it.

The fact that the flat was not stocked according to the checklist is unacceptable and I did bring it up with the new cleaning services. This happened when the previous occupants moved stuff from the flat to the house, I should have checked with the ladies, I thought it was obvious as they have the list. It is very concerning to me that neatness was also mentioned.

The shower door was not mentioned by the previous guests who left on the 4th, I had no idea and will attend to that asap. I don't want to fence off the property, it will spoil my unobstructed view, The lock up double garages serves as secure parking, but I understand that all the keys were bunched together and not marked. I was also not aware of this and will have it sorted.

The heat in summer is a problem and I did request quotes for wooden decking to cover part of the patio. The house was off the market for most of last year, I had the plumbing and electrics redone. The TV in the flat I'm also aware of, there always seems to be more pressing expenses. I usually clearly state that there is no TV when receiving a quote request.

I am moving down there temporarily and check out everything personally and attend to the garden. I truly thought the new management is working out, please, if there is anything else I should be made aware of, do not hesitate to bring it under my attention.

I'm busy having plans drawn up to renovate the property with a new kitchen-living area, braai room and having 5 en-suites.

Ons verblyf van 3 dae was heerlik. Het die uitsig oor die see baie geniet en het 'n rustigheid oor ons gebring. Sal beslis graag weer wil besoek.

Sal beslis aanbeveel vir mense wat stilte soek.

Our 3 day stay was wonderful. Really enjoyed the view over the sea and brought a sense of calm to us. Would definitely like to visit again.

Would definitely recommend to people looking for quiet.

Akkommodasie nie op standaard nie.

Tomma se Huis se standaard is baie swak en kan doen met opgradering. Geen TV of mikrogolf beskikbaar nie.

Accommodation not standard.

Tomma se Huis's standard is very poor and can do with upgrading. No TV or microwave available.

Mooi, skoon huis met uitsig oor die water en geriewe vir die gesin.

Ons het op kort kennisgewing by Tomma se Huis bespreek en die eienaar het vinnig die huis beskikbaar gestel en die huis laat oopsluit. Dit was gerieflik en naby alles geleë, skoon en netjies en het aan ons verblyf vereistes voldoen. Baie dankie.

Nice, clean house with a view of the water and amenities for the family.

We booked at Tomma's House at short notice and the owner quickly made the house available and had the house unlocked. It was comfortable and located close to everything, clean and tidy and met our accommodation requirements. Thank you very much.

Aankoms was nie lekker, maar met behulp van die webtuiste se konsultant het ons probleme gou uitgestryk.

Sal plek aanbeveel. Eienaar moet net inspeksie doen voor nuwe gaste arriveer.

Arrival was not pleasant, but with the help of the website's consultant, our problems soon gone.

Would recommend the place. Owner should do inspection before new guests arrive though.

Ons het heerlik gekuier en die uitsig baie geniet.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en sal weer daar bespreek. Daar was egter nie enige messe of vurke nie. Die mikrogolf werk ook nie aangesien die prop stukkend is en die drade steek by die prop uit.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the view.

We had a great time and will book there again. However, there were not any knives or forks. The microwave also does not work as the plug is broken and the wires are sticking out of the plug.

Beste Marzahn,

Baie dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer.
Ek vra om verskoning oor die messegoed en mikrogolf. Ek het tans logistieke kwessies met die onderhoud, maar die perseel word nou algeheel opgeknap en onder nuwe bestuur geplaas om tip top te wees vir Desember. Al die klein jakkalsies behoort dan uitgesorteer te wees.

Vriendelike groete
Hendrien
