Disappointing. We were disappointed with the accommodation. Things were not as clean as other places even though there is a R350 cleaning charge. The tap water was dark brown. The cockerels crowed from 3.30 am.

Dear Dave, I am sorry about the cleanliness issue. However, this was peak season and I normally don't do single night bookings over this period, but I still accommodated you. I had only two hours to clean your house since you requested an early check-in. I am quite sure you can understand this. Moreover, I am certain your bathroom and bedding were perfectly clean. Further, I was on my phone the whole time with you. You knew this was a self-check-in booking, so I don't understand the low rating for customer service. It's routine when you book on a farm, to expect chickens and other animals which might sometimes be a nuisance. Please read all the information about farm stays and you will see that there are a lot of animals. I do not have control over a cockerel, believe me... The cleaning fee is actually an admin fee for one-night bookings and it doesn't relate to cleaning. This is a standard fee across SA and LekkeSlaap. It was a pleasure assisting you at short notice since accommodation was a big problem during this time of year. Blessings.

Liewe Dave, Ek is jammer oor die netheid kwessie. Dit was egter hoogseisoen en ek doen gewoonlik nie enkelnag besprekings oor hierdie tydperk nie, maar ek het jou steeds geakkommodeer. Ek het net twee uur gehad om jou huis skoon te maak sedert jy 'n vroeë inklok versoek het. Ek is seker jy kan dit verstaan. Boonop is ek seker jou badkamer en beddegoed was heeltemal skoon. Verder was ek die hele tyd saam met jou op my foon. Jy het geweet dit was 'n self-inboekbespreking, so ek verstaan nie die lae gradering vir kliëntediens nie. Dit is roetine wanneer jy op 'n plaas bespreek, om hoenders en ander diere te verwag wat soms 'n oorlas kan wees. Lees asseblief al die inligting oor plaasverblyf en jy sal sien dat daar baie diere is. Ek het nie beheer oor 'n haan nie, glo my... Die skoonmaakfooi is eintlik 'n administrasiefooi vir een-nag besprekings en dit hou nie verband met skoonmaak nie. Dit is 'n standaardfooi regoor SA en LekkeSlaap. Dit was 'n plesier om jou op kort kennisgewing by te staan aangesien verblyf 'n groot probleem was gedurende hierdie tyd van die jaar. Seëninge.

This was disappointing to say the least. I suggest you change their criteria around places they work with. The money was hopelessly too much and the place was messy and untidy.

Hierdie was teleurstellend om die minste te sê. Ek stel voor julle verander hulle kriteria rondom plekke waarmee hulle saamwerk. Geld was hopeloos te veel en die plek was morsig en onnet.

I would like to address some concerns regarding a recent guest feedback. I always appreciate constructive criticism, but in this case I feel that the feedback was unfair and does not accurately reflect my service and standards. I always strive to maintain a high standard. My properties are managed with great care, and we regularly receive positive comments from guests who stay with us for longer periods.

Ek wil graag ‘n paar bekommernisse uitlig rakende die onlangse terugvoer van 'n gas. Ek waardeer altyd konstruktiewe kritiek, maar in hierdie geval voel ek dat die terugvoer onredelik was en nie ‘n akkurate weerspieëling van my diens en standaard bied nie. Ek probeer altyd om ‘n hoë standaard te handhaaf. My eiendomme word met groot sorg bestuur, en ons ontvang gereeld positiewe kommentaar van gaste wat langer periodes by ons bly.

Would not recommend Oakdale Cottages to anyone. Worst stay at Oakfields Cottages. I was told to go and change a gas bottle myself at 8:30 PM to try and get warm water. We couldn't shower. The front security gate lock doesn't work and the host was unhelpful.

You had a husband with you and I am sure this was not that much trouble to change a bottle since it was an easy thing to do. The gate works perfectly and everyone before and after you had no problems at all. You stayed one night after I went out of my way to help you since you had no place to go. I am sorry if you feel this way but I am always helping my guests as far as I can.

Lovely stay on the farm! Oakdale Cottages is a lovely peaceful overnight stay that I would definitely recommend!

Heerlik gebly op die plaas! Oakdale Cottages is 'n heerlike rustige oornagplek wat ek beslis sal aanbeveel!

Very comfortable stay. We were very comfortable, and everything we needed was there. We would definitely stay again. The kids enjoyed the animals which wandered around the yard outside the cottage.

Slept well but still disappointed. Does not comply with advertisement. Booked specifically for bathroom with bath (house 2) and there was only a shower. Lighting is also not sufficient. Why not increase the fee and scrap the cleaning fee. Will give more realistic idea of price. Would also be nice if the situation with the water is posted on ad and not after booking.

Lekker geslaap maar tog terleurgesteld. Voldoen nie aan advertensie nie. Het spesifiek geboek vir badkamer met bad (huis 2) en daar was slegs 'n stort. Beligting is ook nie voldoende nie. Waarom nie die fooi verhoog en die skoonmaakfooi skrap nie. Sal meer realistiese idee van prys gee. Sal ook gaaf wees as die situasie met die water op advertensie geplaas word en nie eers na bespreking nie.

Dear Njs There is only one house that has a bath in the bathroom and it is very clearly marked on my website as Cottage 6. As for the water, it is only in dry times and is a standard letter that I send out. To the best of my knowledge there was absolutely nothing wrong with any water during your stay. Our water in our taps is mountain water and much cleaner and healthier than any town water. Each room has bedside lights and main light as well as all the other rooms. There are even extra lamps and charging lights for power outages that you could have used. So I completely disagree with your comments and would also have appreciated it if you had taken these issues up with me while you were there.

Beste Njs Daar is slegs een huis waar 'n bad in die badkamer het en dit is baie duidelik op my webwerf gemerk as Cottage 6. Wat die water aan betref is dit slegs in droeë tye en is dit n standaard skrywe wat ek uitstuur. Sover my kennis strek was daar absoluut geen fout met enige water terwyl julle oorgebly het nie. Ons water in ons krane is bergwater en baie skoner en gesonder as enige dorpswater. Elke kamer het bedliggies en hooflig sowel as al die ander vertrekke. Daar is self ekstra lampies en laai ligte vir kragonderbrekings wat jy kon gebruik het. So ek verskil heeltemal van jou opmerkings en sou dit ook waardeer het as jy hierdie probleme met my opgeneem het terwyl jy daar was.

Oakdale Cottages is sub-standard in my opinion. We travel a lot, but this place was the lowest standard we have ever stayed at. The TV didn't work (I called the owner and she said my husband just needed to install the rabbit ears - there were no rabbit ears). When I turned on the hot water tap in the kitchen, there was such a loud bang that my husband and I looked at each other in shock - needless to say we turned off the hot water cylinder and then didn't shower at all the next morning! Nothing in the cottage fits together - everything looks run-down!

Oakdale Cottages is volgens my sub-standaard. Ons travel baie, maar hierdie plek was die laagste standaard waar ons al gebly het. Die TV het nie gewerk nie (ek het die eienaar gebel en sy het gesê my man moet net die haasore installeer - daar was nie haasore nie). Toe ek die warmwaterkraan in die kombuis oopdraai, gaan daar 'n helse knal af dat ek en my man in skok vir mekaar gekyk het - nodeloos om te sê ons het die warmwatersilinder afgesit en toe glad nie die volgende oggend gestort nie! Niks in die cottage pas bymekaar nie - alles lyk run-down!

It is very strange to read these complaints. The gas geyser works 100% and very many people live in these houses and never have any problems. You can't turn off the geyser, and I'm sorry to say but maybe you don't know anything about gas geyser then. You insisted on DStv and were unhappy because I said I didn't have this available.

Dit is baie vreemd om hierdie klagtes te lees. Die gas geiser werk 100% en bitter baie mense bly in hierdie huise en het nooit ooit probleme nie. 'n Mens kan nie die geiser afskakel nie, en ek verstuit my om te sê maar dalk weet julle niks van gas geiser af dan nie. Julle het aangedring op DStv en was ongelukkig omdat ek gesê het ek het nie hierdie beskikbaar nie.

Quiet environment. Was a nice, spacious house with everything you need.

Rustige omgewing. Was 'n lekker, ruim huisie met als wat nodig is.
