It was fantastic! Had a friendly welcome, the hospitality was great! Our stay was good and we had a great view of Great Brak River and the river.

Dit was fantasties! Baie vriendelik ontvang, gasvryheid van die beste! Ons verblyf was baie aangenaam met 'n asemrowende uitsig oor Groot-Brak en die rivier.

It was fantastic. I lived as a backpacker for the first time. My wife couldn't adjust to the limited space. I would like to visit again.

Dit was fantasties. Ek het vir die eerste keer as 'backpacker' gewoon. My vrou kon nie lekker aanpas met die beperkte ruimte nie. Ek sal weer so wil kuier.

Hi Jerome, Thank you very much for your review. Remember to book in time next time, then you can stay in the B&B, there is much more space and also fully furnished. Friendly greeting

Good day Jerome, Baie dankie vir jou resensie. Onthou om volgende keer betyds te bespreek, dan kan julle in die B&B tuisgaan, daar is baie meer ruimte en ook ten volle ingerig. Vriendelike groete

The B&B is a very neat place to stay overnight in a beautiful environment. We were disappointed in the location of the B&B as the sea is not within walking distance from the accommodation as indicated on the website. There is also one hell of a climb if you decide to visit the beach/sea on foot for your return walk. The Backpacker unit is very nice and my husband scraped his whole shoulder against the TV stand on the wall because the area is so narrow and he has to crawl past the bed to visit the bathroom. The toilet/bathroom is so small that one of us dries off and gets dressed in the kitchen area as two people cannot move in the room at the same time.

Die B&B is 'n baie netjiese oornagplek in 'n mooi omgewing. Ons was teleurgesteld in die ligging van die B&B aangesien die see nie loopafstand is vanaf die bly plek soos aangedui op die webtuiste nie. Daar is ook een helse opdraand indien jy sou besluit om te voet die strand/see te gaan besoek vir jou terugstap. Die Backpacker-eenheid is vreeslik knap en het my man sy hele skouer oopgeskaaf teen die voetstuk van die TV teen die muur omdat die area so nou is en moet hy teen die bed verbyskuur om die badkamer te besoek. Die toilet/badkamer is so klein dat een van ons in die kombuisarea gaan afdroog en aantrek aangesien twee mense nie gelyktydig in die kamer kan beweeg nie.

Sorry that you found the accommodation uncomfortable, but as the name suggests, the accommodation is actually intended for young people who travel with a backpack, want to stay cheap and not stay for long periods of time. The distance to the beach is about a 5-minute walk, with some stairs and down a dune to the beach, for which you must have a certain level of fitness, otherwise the beach's parking is about 600m from the residence .

Jammer dat julle die verblyf ongemaklik gevind het, maar soos die naam aandui, is die verblyf eintlik bedoel vir jong mense wat met 'n rugsak reis, goedkoop wil bly en nie vir lang tydperke oorbly nie. Die afstand na die strand is so 5-minute se stap, met 'n paar trappe en 'n duin af na die strand, waarvoor jy sekerlik oor 'n mate van fiksheid moet beskik, anders is die strand se parkeerplek so 600m vanaf die woning.

I would highly recommend accommodation. We stayed in the backpackers section. It is really very cute and well appointed. We received so much hospitality. We could have a great barbecue and visit without stress. Everything is neat and clean. Very nice view. Felt like a home away from home.

Ek sal verblyf ten sterkste aanbeveel. Ons het in die rugsakreisigers deel gebly. Dit is regtig baie oulik en goed ingerig. Ons het soveel gasvryheid ontvang. Ons kon heerlik braai en sonder spanning kuier. Alles is netjies en skoon. Baie mooi uitsig. Gevoel soos 'n huis weg van die huis af.

Beautiful place, safe area, owner very hospitable. Guesthouse has the perfect location with a beautiful veiw over Great Brak River. The facility itself is highly recommendable and the owner and her dog came to welcome us in a friendly manner. Will definitely recommend.

Pragtige plek, veilige area, eienaar baie gasvry. Gastehuis is perfek geleë, met pragtige uitsig oor GBR. Die fasiliteit self is hoogs aan te beveel en ek was vriendelik ontvang deur die eienaar (en haar hondekind). Sal definitief aanbeveel.

Very uncomfortable. We were booked in the backpackers room. It was very small. The bed was a sleeper couch. The mattress was rock hard and the bed very low on the floor for two old people. The bathroom was very, very small. The water to the shower and toilet was completely unexceptable - there was instructions on how to use the taps and toilets as well as an apology against the wall. The water from the tap in the kitchen was undrinkable and tasted bad. Not worth R500. The back packer room is definitely not suitable for seniors.

Baie ongemaklik. Ons was in die back packers kamer ingeboek. Dit was baie klein. Die bed was 'n "sleeper couch". Die matras was kliphard en die bed baie laag op die vloer vir twee ou mense. Die badkamer was baie, baie klein. Die water toevoer na die stort en toilet was totaal onaanvaarbaar - daar was instruksies hoe om die krane en spoeltoilet te gebruik sowel as 'n verskoning teen die badkamermuur geplak. Die water uit die kraan in die kombuis was ondrinkbaar sleg. Nie R500 werd nie. Die back packer kamer is beslis nie vir seniors bedoel nie.

I'm really sorry it was inconvenient for you. I would like to know who you are. I don't know if the other people who stayed there may not have been telling the truth but, everyone said they had a nice stay and some even said they would come back. I made sure everyone knew what they were booking and that it was meant for people who want to sleep cheap and backpack. If you were to go to the web page and read more about the place, you would also see that there is a very good explanation. I also explained to people who called me that it is small and not suitable for older people. It is not part of my bed and breakfast. As I already said, I put it in for booking at the last minute, because people couldn't get a seat. I kindly invite you to stay one night, free of charge, in my guest house and ask that in the future you will make sure before booking places. I am in the process of having a suitable bed made.

Ek is regtig jammer dat dit vir u ongerieflik was. Ek sou graag wou weet wie u is. Ek weet nie of die ander mense wat daar gebly het dalk nie die waarheid gepraat het nie maar, almal het gesê hulle het lekker gebly en party het selfs gesê hulle kom terug. Ek het baie seker gemaak almal weet wat hulle bespreek het en dat dit wel bedoel is vir mense wat goedkoop wil slaap en met 'n rugsak toer. Indien u op die web blad sou ingaan en meer lees oor die plekkie sou u ook sien dat daar baie mooi verduidelik word. Ook aan mense wat my gebel het, het ek verduidelik dat dit klein is en nie geskik is vir ouer mense nie. Dit is nie deel van my bed en ontbyt nie. Soos ek alreeds gesê het, het ek dit op die laaste minuut ingesit vir bespreking, omdat mense nie kon plek kry nie. Ek nooi u vriendelik uit om een nag, gratis, in my gastehuis deel te kom bly en vra dat u in die toekoms sal seker maak voordat u plekke bespreek. Ek is in die proses om 'n geskikte bed te laat maak.

Thank you very much, Jakkie, Appreciate your input, for someone who has slept more than one night in the backpackers and is no longer a young student. I also offer you and your wife a free night in the guest house. You just have to please booked on time.

Baie dankie, Jakkie, Waardeer jou insette, vir iemand wat meer as een nag in die backpackers geslaap het en ook nie meer bloedjong studente is nie. Ek bied vir jou en jou vrou ook 'n gratis nag aan in die gastehuis. Julle moet net asb. betyds bespreek.
