โฮมสเตย์ในเวสเทิร์นเคป แอฟริกาใต้

Pros Great location - a short drive to the waterfront and close to Table Mountain, Lions Head and the Botanical Garden where Uber will get you there quickly and for a good price. Staff were very good Breakfast was cooked very well and with good quality ingredients and a varied selection. It would be better if they had soft bread rather than the heavier one provided (althouh this could be a more European variety i havent come across before). The room was homely, as is the whole building (a bit of a British Grade 2 listed building kind of feel). Nice views over capetown in some rooms and a mountain view from the back. Room has heating and air con for all seasons. Cons As mentioned in a previous review, the room is quite dusty so if you are messing around with plugs behind the bed or tv, it's a challenge not to breathe in the dust. I think this could be a SA thing rather than the hotel itself but they only provide 1.5l of water which for a week is not enough, even for a solo traveller. You have to pay for any more. I have never come across this in 25 years of travel across 35 countries but again, i know there is a water issue in SA sometimes and I believe the tap water is drinkable (although I wouldn't attempt this as a tourist). Bathroom towels not replaced - just left to dry which doesn't work particularly well in winter. The photo of the hotel being near blue water is a little deceptive - obviously it is not near a beach and they don't suggest so but the body of water across the road is a water storage facility (currently empty) so don't expect tropical views. Having said that, if you get a city view room, the sunrise is right in front of you and a perfect time lapse opportunity as the scenery changes dramatically during the sunrise. Stunning experience. Overall, I would stay again and recommend the hotel which is in a quiet location.

ที่พักพร้อมอาหารเช้าแห่งนี้ตั้งอยู่ในทําเลที่เหมาะสําหรับการเยี่ยมชมเมืองของไซม่อนและแนวชายฝั่ง แต่การตั้งค่าที่พักพร้อมอาหารเช้าที่แท้จริงนั้นน่าผิดหวังอย่างมาก เรามาถึงและพบว่าห้องของเรายังไม่พร้อมเมื่อมันมาถึงสถานที่นี้ยังคงดูไม่เรียบร้อยมีถังในอ่างอาบน้ําเฟอร์นิเจอร์ไม่ได้กลับไปยังสถานที่เดิมและรายการฟรีดูเหมือนจะใช้ ในคืนที่สองของเรามีการลดภาระเป็นเรื่องปกติ แต่ดูเหมือนว่าไม่มีมาตรการป้องกันเราต้องใช้ไฟโทรศัพท์เพื่อปีนบันไดสามชั้นไปยังห้องของเราเพื่อหาไฟชาร์จ เห็นได้ชัดว่าในโอกาสดังกล่าว ไม่มีแบตเตอรี่ดังนั้นจึงไร้ประโยชน์ ในฐานะพลเมืองแอฟริกาใต้เราเข้าใจความไม่แน่นอนของพลังงานอย่างเต็มที่ แต่สําหรับค่าใช้จ่ายและลูกค้าปกติของที่พักนี้เราคาดหวังที่จะอยู่ในสถานที่มากขึ้น เวลาอาหารได้รับการปรับเพื่อความสะดวกของพนักงานที่อยู่ในสถานที่เมื่อเทียบกับรายละเอียดของแผ่นต้อนรับที่เราได้รับเมื่อเดินทางมาถึง ในช่วงสามวันที่เราอยู่ที่นั่นสถานที่ทั้งหมดดูเหมือนจะดําเนินการโดยพนักงานสนับสนุนไม่มีผู้จัดการที่ชัดเจนในที่เกิดเหตุ เราพักหนึ่งสัปดาห์และฉันคิดว่ามันเป็นช่วงเวลาสําคัญ มีกีฬาที่จอดรถประมาณ 4 คันหน้าอาคาร แต่พวกเขาไม่ได้คุ้นเคยกับศักยภาพที่สมบูรณ์ของพวกเขาและมักจะเราต้องจอดรถอีกเล็กน้อย โดยรวมแล้วทําเลที่ตั้งเป็นบวกหลัก เมื่อพิจารณาจากราคาเราหวังว่าจะมีสิ่งอํานวยความสะดวกที่ดีกว่าและหวังว่าโปรไฟล์สําหรับที่พักนี้จะสามารถแก้ไขได้เนื่องจากไม่มีสระว่ายน้ําในที่พักซึ่งแตกต่างจากคําอธิบายที่ทําให้เราเชื่อ โชคดีที่เสน่ห์ของเมืองไซม่อนและชายหาดชดเชยการขาดความใส่ใจในรายละเอียดและความหรูหราอย่างจริงจังคุณจะคิดว่าสถานที่ในราคานี้และในสถานที่นี้ 3/10 คงไม่ไปที่นั่นอีก

Отель находится в 10 минутах ходьбы от центра города. Хозяйка помогла забронировать экскурсию к китам. Спать холодно, но есть тёплые одеяла и электро простынь. В номере есть микроволновка, чайник, холодильник. Очень вкусный завтрак, за это отдельное спасибо. Мы забыли наши вещи в отеле и отель тут же нам написал е-мейл. Городок безопасный и мы первый раз за 2 недели ночью гуляли.

Mooiplaas is a stunning venue for a clean, crisp peaceful getaway.  The views overlooking the orange skyline and Ostriches doing their thing was, Oh so lovely!! The place is well managed and the staff are a friendly bunch of good old happy country folk. Nothing was ever too much. The food was delicious and fresh fruits and vegetables were delivered everyday.  The rooms are old but neat. The wooden floors give the place a vintage feel.  The old brown  wall to wall carpet was not great but the beautiful rugs thrown over it made is bearable. They have some good quality books to read and enjoy. The breakfast and dinner menu was on point👌🏾👌🏾. I loved the home baked bread 😋 😋. The breakfast box prepared before my 5am-120km ride was excellent! It was prepared excavtly As I had requestes.  I have already booked for my next trip😍😍. I loved seeing the stuff happy and enjoying their work. It’s always a good sign when staff enjoy what they do. I think I might have made a friend or two. The curio shop is interesting and the service at the Spa was… you guessed it, Oh so lovely!!☺️

My wife and I recently escaped to Arendsrus for a quick breakaway, and it was absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a place that feels ”off-the-grid” and immersed in nature without sacrificing luxury, this is it. The setting at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains is spectacular. The wooden chalets offer a sense of total privacy and a ”wilderness” vibe that immediately makes you forget the hustle of daily life. The attention to detail is top-notch, especially the 800-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets—it’s clear the hosts care deeply about guest comfort. The absolute highlight of our stay was the a la carte breakfast served directly to our room. It was delicious, beautifully presented, and allowed us to enjoy a slow morning soaking in the views from our balcony in total peace. The hospitality was warm and genuine, and the entire atmosphere is one of tranquility and refined rustic charm. It truly is a hidden gem on the Garden Route. We left feeling completely refreshed and can’t wait to go back!

Accomodation is located on a separate island, which is a gem itself - stunning shoreline, lovely park for walks, a very peaceful place which is also very safe. Great location - road connecting it to the mainland, and just 10 minutes drive from Knysna harbour with all the best eat out places around. We've been treated by Pierre, who is the most friendly and welcoming host. He has designed the place with his love for sailing and the sea in general - everything is very stylish, clean and bright. He is also originally from Belgium, which means you'll also benefit from delicious Belgium waffles as a nice desert treat for your breakfast. You can also ask him about best places to visit, not just around Knysna but all across the West Cape. And there will also be a special something for dog lovers, as there are 2 absolutely adorable labradoodles hanging around when allowed by guests, and they really love to cuddle 🤗 Wish we could stay for more, but will definitely come back next time I'll be around.

Had a splendid 2 night stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The staff made us feel so welcome. They are exceptionally polite and well informed on the surrounding area. We were provided with a map full of helpful suggestions, and a thorough introduction to the lodge and all it's facilities upon check-in. The lodge is located right next to Hermanus New Harbour and a few steps from the cliff path, which is well worth the walk. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. It opens onto a beautiful, well maintained garden area but a few steps from the pool. Breakfast was fantastic (reccommend the Full English!), and a lovely selection of breads, cereals, fruits, cold meats, yogurts etc at the buffet. Truly, no complaints. Would absolutely stay again.

We had a truly fantastic stay at Hilltop Country Retreat. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The location is absolutely beautiful, with peaceful surroundings and stunning views that make it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The accommodation was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. You can really see the care and attention put into every detail. The amenities were excellent and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The service was also outstanding — warm, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our visit. It felt like a real home away from home. We would highly recommend Hilltop Country Retreat to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. We will definitely be back!

We booked this accommodations with high hopes given the good reviews but unfortunately the cleanliness was not up to standard. We got the room on the ground floor with a full kitchen but the fridge was full of mould. For the mould to get this many, black and clearly visible to the human eye, it should have been there for a while. As we were just staying 2 nights, we just decided it was safer not to use the fridge. Housekeeping puts a lot of effort into tidying the room, the beds and tables but it's odd that they have left the fridge alone. Otherwise, the location was great - one of the better value for money accommodations in Sea point, and guests are free to get coffee/tea from the coffee machine at the communal area anytime.
