Slept very well on a firm bed. Bedside tables have lights on them which makes it easy. The place is located in a quiet neighborhood, but quite close to everything. What I appreciated the most was the unique way to check in; no staff required. You get a message with the gate code. Press it in and turn the handle. Then you have your remote control. Park the car. Then you open the container with a code with your room key in. Absolutely fantastic. You can check in anytime from 2pm to 11pm, because there doesn't have to be someone to check you in. In my opinion, brilliant idea. Also, just wanted to say thank you for my surprise discount and upgrade.

Baie lekker geslaap op 'n ferm bed. Bedkassies het ligte op wat dit maklik maak. Die plek is in 'n stil woonbuurt geleë, maar redelik naby aan alles. Wat ek die meeste waardeer het, is die unieke wyse om in te boek; geen staf benodig nie. Jy kry 'n boodskap met hek se kode. Druk dit in en draai die handvatsel. Dan het jy jou afstandbeheer. Parkeer die motor. Dan maak jy die houer oop met 'n kode met jou kamer sleutel in. Absoluut fantasties. Jy kan enige tyd van 2pm tot 11pm inklok, want daar hoef nie iemand te wees wat jou inteken nie. Volgens my briljante idee. Wil ook net dankie sê vir my verrassingsafslag en opgradering.

Thank you, Johnny, for the excellent report. It was a real pleasure to host you at (Abelia Guesthouse). Even though we never met in person, you were always quick to respond on WhatsApp and it was a pleasure to work with you.

Dankie, Johnny, vir die uitstekende verslag. Dit was regtig lekker om jou by (Abelia Gastehuis) te ontvang. Al het ons mekaar nooit persoonlik ontmoet nie, was jy altyd vinnig om op WhatsApp te reageer en dit was ’n plesier om met jou saam te werk.

Most inhospitable host - couldn't wait to leave. Thu. During an already stressful journey due to a high volume of business calls whilst en route, received a string of instructions on how to access the unit. Let the escape room challenge begin. Arrived, opened the outside key box, found a sticky single remote lying loose at the bottom of the box. Shrugged and took the remote, opened the gate, searched and found another key box with keys and a remote - perplexed, but late for the next appointment. Not allocated the downstairs room as booked, but upgraded to the upstairs room. Yes, the view is lovely, but the stairs feel like an episode from the Hunger Games (and why we picked the bottom room originally). Lugging everything upstairs and quickly leaving for the next event. Sat morning. Message from the host regarding the missing remote - explained we thought it was the remote to be used. Received a rather unpleasant reply asking what the reason was and why we removed it when it was taped to the box, when the instructions didn't say so. LOL, she said. Sat evening 21:45 - new escape game instructions on how to leave "Hotel California". (Only out by 10) but if you leave before 7am, leave the keys in the outside box. If you're a slacker and leave after 7am, you can leave the keys in the door, hunger games down the stairs and try to make it in time for the auto closing gate. (There's no one). And just to make sure you're up early, here's the loadshedding schedule (LS already started Fri and everyone has ESP) sent via WhatsApp at 06:45 Sun morning. We couldn't leave fast enough.

Dear Nicolette, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m surprised to hear that you were unhappy with the complimentary upgrade from the budget room. Most guests have appreciated this upgrade, and I’m sorry it didn’t meet your expectations. I regret that the one set of steps to the room with such a beautiful view caused you frustration. I intended to enhance your stay, and I’ll be more thoughtful in the future. I also apologize if there was any inconvenience with the check-in process. A quick call or message would have allowed us to resolve any issues immediately rather than you having to leave a review. I appreciate your feedback and will take it into account moving forward.

Great. I was there for a conference, so I didn't spend much time in the room, but the view was great when I was there, and the room was always clean.

Pleasant and comfortable. Had a great stay/slept, but wasn't there during the day.

Aangenaam en gerieflik. Heerlik gebly/geslaap, maar was bedags nie daar nie.

Pleasant. We had a great stay, everything was good and well. Those who visit the guest house will not be disappointed at all.

Aangenaam. Ons het baie lekker gebly, alles was goed en wel. Diegene wat die gastehuis besoek sal glad nie teleurgestel wees nie.

Dear Ilze, Thank you for the rating and I hope you enjoyed your complimentary upgrade to one of our luxury rooms. There was nothing wrong with our solar system or the inverter. The only time when the inverter has to reset itself is to protect itself from a spike or when some of our clients use heating devices and recharge personal items that use high voltage. We do ask in our welcoming letter that people stay mindful of the load shedding time and 99.9% of the time everyone does. I hope this once off situation was not too much of an inconvenience for you. Please note, not many guesthouses in this area provide solar electricity for entire rooms, from boiling kettles to blow drying your hair. Most just provide emergency light and WiFi. We hope that we can welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Carla, Abelia Guesthouse Owner.

Liewe Ilze, Dankie vir die gradering en ek hoop jy het jou komplimentêre opgradering na een van ons luukse kamers geniet. Daar was niks fout met ons sonnestelsel of die omskakelaar nie. Die enigste tyd wanneer die omskakelaar homself moet terugstel, is om homself teen 'n piek te beskerm of wanneer sommige van ons kliënte verwarmingstoestelle gebruik en persoonlike items wat hoëspanning gebruik, herlaai. Ons vra wel in ons verwelkomingsbrief dat mense bedag moet bly op die beurtkrag-tyd en 99,9% van die tyd wat almal doen. Ek hoop hierdie eenmalige situasie was nie te veel van 'n ongerief vir jou nie. Neem asseblief kennis, nie baie gastehuise in hierdie area voorsien sonkrag vir hele kamers nie, van kookketels tot die droogblaas van jou hare. Die meeste verskaf net noodlig en WiFi. Ons hoop dat ons jou in die toekoms weer kan verwelkom. Vriendelike groete, Carla, Abelia Gastehuis Eienaar.
