Sehr geräumiges Haus mit bequemen Betten. Im Wohnbereich ist ein Kamin und große Bodentiefe Fenster mit einem schönen Ausblick in die Berge. Das Personal war super freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit.

Een aanrader omdat het je op alle fronten verzorgt.

10.0

Het verblijf in zijn totaliteit. Mooi karakteristiek huisje met alle benodigdheden. Op een farm(ja je hoort de ganzen snachts wel, maar hoort erbij) goed restaurant, voorzieningen voor de kids (voetbal, volleybal, Pool, zwembad etc) met superfijn personeel voor wie geen vraag teveel was. Leuke ingang naar Drakensberg, omgeving veel te doen.

Meubilair hier en daar wat verouderd, maar wel karakteristiek

We hebben genoten van deze guesthouse. Het personeel is top!

9.0

De ligging en de sfeer.

Het meubilair was gedateerd of niet comfortabel. Ik miste ook een ligbed in de tuin of weide.

Schitterend verblijf

9.0

Peijs-kwaliteit is heel goed. Personeel was zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam Locatie was prima om te wandelen bij Monks Cowl

Prijs-kwaliteit is goed. Als iets ontbreekt of defect is wordt t snel opgepakt. Maar er mogen ook wat dingen vervangen worden.

Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance. You can use the Special Requests box when booking, or contact the property directly using the contact details in your confirmation.
