Home away from Home - what a lovely place with everything you need and more. Beautiful canals - sit out in the garden and enjoy the beautiful view and fresh air

Nothing

spacious property, gas for load-shedding, inverter for tv and WiFi great.

trouble with hot water but severe load-shedding might have played a roll in that.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed, including comfortable bedding and clean towels. The rooms all have their own bathrooms and the kitchen is fully equipped with gas stove. There were lots of torches available for loadshedding. The binnebraai was especially useful as the nights were cold. The house is right on the canal with great views and has its own jetty. Checking in and out was easy and well communicated. Had some great meals at the nearby The Quays restaurant, which is a 10-15min walk away.

This is a panel handle house located at the back old and deteriorating property but is located on the canal. unfortunately it does not come with a boat or canoe or dinghy which is the reason you want to be on the canals.

Too disappointing! We arrived at dusk in time to prepare supper but the house was very untidy and not very clean -strange because of the list of rules we received prior to getting keys and which are conveniently pasted all over the house - some of the owners personal items were not put away. -the counter tops were greasy and not clean. cupboards were smelling and dirty and lots of chipped mixed cups and saucers. cutlery was covered in some type of sediment and again one in every design rather than a neat set. broken bottle openers and cork screw means we could not open our bottle of wine.. Then came bedtime and we found the linen was stained and smelling and we had to report back to the owners the very night we arrived. not ideal to be discussing cleaning processes when you meant to be relaxing. This is more frat house with basics - six double beds two of which are in the tv room upstairs. it’s great for large group of students and young adults but not a luxury getaway which the price tends to indicate. no luxury to be found here- no tea/coffee on arrival or soaps. in fact you will need to bring your own loo paper as only one per bathroom is provided. the owner did send her cleaner in the next morning to change bedding and wash all the crockery and cutlery.

Everything

Nothing

Wonderful house with good equipment. It was a bit complicated to get the keys at the Security Agency 3k away. The rest was very good.

location, comfort

no swimming pool

loved everything

only problem was transport. there was no public transport eg. taxi’s or uber. had to phone the hotel in st francis to hear who they use for guests without vehicles.
