    It was the hottest days of the year in Tulbagh and the air conditioning, when it worked, was wonderful. For some reason it would shut down and no amount of fiddling with the remote would revive it. It would then spring in to life in the middle of the night which was great.

    Jo the host was most welcoming as were the dogs. It fitted our needs for the three days we were there. The air conditioning.

    The kitchen area of our room was a little bit dirty. We did see a few cockroaches which can be expected on a farm. Other than that, no complaints about the place.

    The host was very friendly, offering assistance. The whole property is a beautiful estate with a very beautiful environment. Nice to see a swimming pool and communal area so clean. The ease of access was also appreciated. Very nice outside fireplace.

    The walking path seems to have overgrown, it might be an idea to recreate a path to make it easier for visitors to find.

    The host was VERY helpfull and over friendly after we had an serious accident in front of her property's gate, but she was VERY drunk and tried to calm us with wine and mampoer... We were booked into a TENT (IN MID WINTER) that we didn't ask for and my mother in law (86) and her crippled brother(82) were expected to sleep on stretchers. In the end she quickly fitted them into a VERY filthy room with a very THIN mattress and summer duvet. It was VERY COLD and we had to go to an OUTSIDE toilet and kitchen with NO HOT WATER to shower with in a VERY filthy bathroom. The hand towel was frayed and not clean. I realey don't understand how you can book your guests into a place like this...It was the most AWFULL place to stay ever

    no breakfast. good location

    We were disappointed with our experience at this guesthouse. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess, who was clearly intoxicated and using inappropriate foul language. This was not only unprofessional but also made us feel extremely uncomfortable. First impressions matter, and this one unfortunately set a negative tone for our stay.

    Not much at all

    Kitchen, no salt, pepper, coffee or tea. Crockery chipped. The bathroom, shower floor, painted, was peeling. The water outlet poor or blocked. Basin taps loose. I understand rustic, but for this price and location I think they can do much better. A huge army of mosquitoes .The ac worked perfect. Our son came from the United States for a visit , we wanted to be together and I made a mistake to book a family room. The host offered another location on the premises, but we were not interested.

    No breakfast.

    This place is suited to guests that want to interact with other guests and all the dogs on site.

    Didnt end up staying but it could have been very pleasant in the tented accommodation. Unfortunately the onsite dogs are very much in your personal space.

    There's not enough privacy from the host and her 5 dogs. It wasn't mentioned that there would be dogs free roaming and unwatched. Straight away we were out on the back foot because of this, because our dog is half blind and not comfortable around so many other dogs. The dogs are very curious and kept 'invading' the area we occupied. We were unable to relax and the dogs did not get on. I feel this was extremely unfair for a location advertising privacy. Secondly, the tent was not clean from large (to us) dead spiders, and webs, and the couch smelled. The host told us a story about a much larger tame spider that likes to inhabit the tent. This lead to a horrible feeling for my family, not feeling safe, not knowing if there were more spiders or where the next sighting would be. Lastly, the host and her friend sat next to the pool the entire day drinking and talking. This did not make the pool area feel very inviting. Towards the end of the first evening it became clear that the experience would not get better. It would not be a relaxing stay. My wife and daughter were upset and wanted to leave. I felt the same. We paid for 3 nights, but that would be 3 too many. We packed our bags and left.

    The location is very scenic and very close to town. The tent is well equipped. I can see the potential for those without dogs or small kids to have a relaxing time.

    Everything was to my liking

    My stay at the cottage was very safe and private and although security like cameras and code gate is in place an extra security was the dogs 🐕 which were a great alarm for any intruders whatsoever but it was not the case but only guests.The environment is very clean and the nature is a stress reliever from the rush of the city .The host Joanne is very friendly and create an environment of family and make all guests feel at ease and comfortable.The environment is also children and pet friendly It's realy a comeback for me to experience the warmth of winter ✨️ Thx 😊 muchness Joanne for your hospitality and your friendly staff.You are a star 🌟
