    Location good, cleanliness good.

    Staff management and communication extremely disappointing. Huge inconvenience of not being able to get into room 4 late at night as a result of a broken lock/key. Likewise, most infuriating not being able to have someone answer a phone and come out to attend to the issue.

    Property response:

    Good day Howard. Check in time at the latest is 19h00. I've send multiple massage to you, which you did not answer. Only after I called you, you answered my calls. Sometimes things do broke and I will respond at anytime if you called. the only call that I received was from our security company when the alarm went off when you entered a room without my concent. after that I called you and since you were already in the other room, it was good with me.

    Only three things that were either not in the room or that can be changed. 1) Lighter or matches for the nice candles put out 2) Wine bottle opener 3) The instant coffee can maybe be a better make than frisco, like Jacobs or Nescafe

    Property response:

    Good day. Thank you for the review. We will definitely put bottle openers in the room and see what we can do about the coffee. as for candles, it's a definite no because of the fire risk. we previously had an incident and had to replace bedding.

    I did not read the video instruction send to me prior to contacting the site . Garrid help us over phone. The aircon worked well. considering the outside temperature was in the high 38C

    Step accessing the room caught us by surprise, and bath shower was great but the water pressure was on the low side.

    Well-equipped room with TV, fridge and coffee machine. Great location.

    No door on bathroom and toilet, only a curtain. My wife had to leave the room when I used the toilet.

    The accommodation is centrally situated. The room exceeded our needs and expectations. There was an immediate response to an enquiry. We will definitely make use of the services again.

    I cannot think of anything right now.

    We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

    I think that someone should make sure that the internet is working prior to someone arriving. We had no TV/ Netflix at all

    Property response:

    Good day. Thank you for your review. Regarding the internet. We always test everything before we hand over the rooms, but sometimes you do get small downtime from the internet suppliers, which is out of our control, however, i do apologize for any inconvenience.

    The room was an adequate size. There was a bath. Location was good.

    I phoned the owner before our stay and requested that there is clear communication about check in. We choose not to use Whats App so I requested that any entry codes could be sent before we set off on our journey. The owner gave us a code to access the car park but neglected to tell us where the car park was. When we arrived it seemed that we were not expected. A woman directed us to the parking (across the road at another building) But back at the actual accommodation, even though the woman worked there, she had not been given the key code for the box to retrieve our keys. So we stood in the pouring rain and phoned the owner a second time to ask again for clear instructions to access the key. Reflecting on our stay and the facilities, the accommodation is over-priced for bed, no breakfast. We never met the owner during our weekend stay. There were no personal recommendations. There was no warm welcome. It is a 'faceless' check in, where you are sent a code to get in (or maybe not). A request to booking.com: Please indicate SELF CHECK-IN on your website for this type of accommodation. We book a lot of accommodation via this site. We would like the option to avoid self check in places, as things so often go wrong on arrival and the owner is not on site to help.

    Property response:

    After I thought this through, 99.99% of our customers do use WhatsApp and is our preferred way of communicating to them. It makes life really easy for everyone. As for the comment regarding the breakfast, it is indicated on booking.com, "no meal provided." Regarding your comment on the self check in system. I'm not always at the property as I do have other work also, and for that reason,we gave the customer the freedom to check in anytime they want to. Regarding the parking arrangements, the other property referred to, Gabriella's accommodation, belongs to us also and we provide access for safe parking for your car, but it is your choice where you would like to park. I do hope this answers your concerns.

    Beautifully built property. One of the best bathrooms we've ever stayed in, anywhere. A small wobbly on arrival with the code for the key box was promptly sorted out by the owner. Communication was excellent in that regard. Location is fantastic and the overnight parking is a nice touch. This is a great choice for anyone in the area.

    Nitpicking now, but the TV is mounted quite high. If you don't want your evening Netflix fix to be while lying on the bed, you'll struggle with it. That's such a minor thing though.
