Value for money guest house. Nice and clean guest house, with a very welcoming lady who made a delicious breakfast in the morning.

Outstanding. Lovely place. Value for money. Safe, clean and hospitable. Not to mention the breakfast. First B&B where I get a real farm breakfast included in your price. No fast food. Real breakfast that would put Wimpy to shame. Delicious. And the view. Just wow!

Uitstekend. Lieflike plek. Waarde vir geld. Veilig, skoon en gasvry. Om nie van die ontbyt te praat nie. Eerste B&B wat ek 'n regte boereontbyt kry wat ingesluit is by jou prys. Gun kitskos nie. Regte ontbyt wat Wimpy sal laat skaam kry. Heerlik. En die uitsig. Net wow!

Hi Adrie Thank you very much for the positive feedback. We want our guests to be comfortable. They should feel at home. And your review says exactly that. Thank you very much. Can you believe that some of the guests want to eat with us instead of other places? I'm glad you felt at home. Nice stay. Regards, Sharon

Hi Adrie Baie dankie vir die positiewe terugvoering. Ons wil hê ons gaste moet gemaklik wees. Hulle moet tuis voel. En jou review sê presies dit. Baie dankie. Kan jy glo dat van die gaste wil by ons kom eet i.p.v. ander plekke? Ek is bly julle het tuis gevoel. Mooi bly. Groete, Sharon

It met our needs and was reasonably comfortable. Valencia made us feel very welcome and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. She is an asset to the business. I feel the bathroom needs serious attention as it is very dated and appears 'grubby'. My friend complained about the small shower in the Loerie room. Overall, it met the requirements.

Hi Thank you for taking the time to review us. We really appreciate it. We are glad to hear that you felt comfortable. We want our guests to feel at home. The Lourie room is one of our smaller rooms, but it is the most popular for some reason. The B&B is small but clean, and the breakfast is good. I try to keep the prices as low as I can so it can be affordable. Take care. Kind regards Sharon

Would not want to stay at the guest house again. Rooms were good. But overall disappointed. Breakfast was extremely disappointing.

Sal nie weer by die gastehuis wil oorbly nie. Kamers was goed. Maar oor die algeheel teleurgesteld. Ontbyt was uiters teleurstellend.

Afternoon John The only problem we had is that Tyrone was under the impression that you paid on Friday. However, I allowed them to stay because you let me know that you would pay the next day. You even sent me the proof and messaged to say you would book with us again. That's why I'm a little confused now. I'm sure you've rated the wrong B&B. Our breakfast is rated very highly. I think sometimes the guests just want to stay for the breakfast. You can on booking.co. go see, everyone is talking about the breakfast. That's why I think you made a mistake. Regards, Sharon

Middag Johan Die enigste probleem wat ons gehad het, is dat Tyrone onder die indruk was dat jy die Vrydag betaal het. Ek het hulle egter toegelaat om te bly, want jy het my laat weet dat jy die volgende dag sou betaal. Jy het selfs die bewys vir my gestuur en 'n boodskap gestuur om te sê jy sal weer by ons boek. Daarom is ek nou 'n bietjie verwar. Ek is seker jy het die verkeerde B&B beoordeel. Ons ontbyt word baie hoog beoordeel. Ek dink partykeer die gaste wil net kom oorbly vir die ontbyt. Jy kan op booking.co. gaan kyk, almal praat oor die ontbyt. Daarom dink ek jy het 'n fout begaan. Groete, Sharon
