It's more like a boarding house.

The place is out of the box, bath was dirty and old, bedside lamp and table were dilapidated. One of the other guests kicked me out for apparently stopping in his parking lot.

Baie vriendelik ontvang deur Vivian die eienares self.

Eenheid was vroeër reg as toegelate tyd en sy het ons laat ingaan. Diens deurentyd en vriendelikheid van hoe gehalte. Eenheid skoon en netjies sonder gebrek.

Beautiful place.

We really enjoyed our stay at Vivian's Cottage. It is a nice, clean, and friendly place and the owners are very hospitable. Garden and swimming pool areas are beautiful and relaxing, especially for early morning coffee.

Rustig en 'n baie mooi tuin!

Ons wou 'n vertoning gaan kyk by die Pierneef Teater en het oornagplek gesoek. Hierdie plek was ideaal en baie naby aan die Pierneef Teater. Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang by die gastehuis. Die bestuurder het ons tot 'n keuse gegee van 'n eenheid met 'n bad of 'n stort. Die eenheid was baie mooi skoon en ons kon oor niks kla nie. Die tuin is baie mooi en ons het na die vertoning 'n "night cap" in die tuin geniet. Die enigste nadeel is dat ons gedink het dat hulle ontbyt bedien wat nie so was nie. Andersins was alles baie mooi en lekker!

Quiet and a very nice garden!

We wanted to see a show at the Pierneef Theater and were looking for a place to stay. This place was ideal and very close to the Pierneef Theatre. We were very kindly received at the guest house. The manager gave us a choice of a unit with a bath or a shower. The unit was very nice and clean and we could not complain about anything. The garden is very beautiful and we enjoyed a "night cap" in the garden after the show. The only downside is that we thought they served breakfast which was not the case. Otherwise, everything was very nice and nice!

Definately not worth the money.

Room booked wasn't available. Had to sleep in flat with bed and sleeper couch. Very hard and uncomfortable sleeper couch. Had to shower in cold water, taps apparently switched. Will never recommend or sleep there again.

Vivian's Cottage 's response

Hi Ronel,
I am sorry to hear this feedback. In the first week of July we were fully booked and if you used the flat I am sure I explained that there is only one bed and a sleeper couch, which naturally are not as comfortable as a bed. The flat is the furthest from the geyser and one has to wait a little for the hot water to come through. Many clients has used it since and had no problem, not even with the taps. I am sorry for your experience. If you mentioned it at that time I would have addressed it then, but we want our clients to have a good experience and will continue to improve our service. Your sincerely, Jan Wilken.

Teleurgesteld.

Eenhede kan doen met nuwe beddens. Ontbyt was baie teleurstellend, slegs brood, ontbytpap en geen warm ontbyt, geen opsie vir spek/eiers ens. nie. Moet alles self doen. Sal definitief nie weer daar tuisgaan nie.

Disappointed.

Units could do with new beds. Breakfast was very disappointing, only bread, breakfast porridge and no hot breakfast, no option for bacon/eggs etc. not. Have to do everything yourself. Definitely will not stay there again.

Vriendelike diens.

Vivian het ons baie welkom laat voel. Die kamer en badkamer was baie skoon en netjies maar die lakens en beddegoed is oud en lyk moeg alhoewel dit baie skoon was, dalk kort hulle nuwe beddegoed.

Vivian made us feel very welcome. The room and bathroom were very clean and tidy but the sheets and bedding are old and look tired although it was very clean, maybe they need new bedding.
