We had a great time, thank you very much.

We really enjoyed the stay and the house was everything we needed. The only negative thing was that we had to wait a long time to be let in. The water went off before we could take a bath. Apparently there is a water outage in the town and we were not informed about it.

Baie potensiaal, maar basiese dinge ontbreek.

Badkamerdeur het nie 'n handsvatsel aan die binnekant nie. 'n Alaramstelselbattery moet as deurstopper gebruik word om die deur toe te hou. Basiese higiëne ontbreek - broodrooster geroes, sekere kombuistoestelle is vetterig. Matte, bank en stoelkussings, komberse en gordyne is vuil. Hannddoeke is grof en is nie getuimeldroog nie. Skottelgoedseep mors a.g.v. onbruikbare houer. Plek vertoon goed maar verskil baie van foto's.

Lots of potential, but basics are missing.

Bathroom door does not have a handle on the inside. An alarm system battery must be used as a door stopper to keep the door closed. Basic hygiene is lacking - toaster is rusty, some kitchen appliances are greasy. Carpets, sofa and chair cushions, blankets and curtains are dirty. Towels are coarse and do not tumble dry. Dish soap spills due to unusable container. Place shows well but very different from photos.

Die woning is naby die informele nedersetting en die elektriese hek het nie gewerk nie.

Die kombuis se eetgerei is nie na wense nie as jy slaapplek het vir 8 mense moet jy dan eetgerei ook he vir 8 mense. Die plek is oud en kort maar werk maar dis reg oor die informele area en die hek het nie gewerk nie en toe is genoem die battery gee in oor die beurtkrag, so ons het veiligheidsissues gehad juis oor die hek. Verder heel lekker as jy nie te veel verwag nie bv die kussings is baie pap en oud en so ook die beddegoed en die plek kort maar opknapping en dan sal hulle meer kan vra ook vir die eenheid. Nelsbells is maar net nie wat ons verwag het nie. Eienaar het met my geskakel maar die ligging is groot probleem en veral van die nedersetting se kant af en die lawaai saans oor naweke is ook 'n groot probleem.

Translate to English.

The residence is close to the informal settlement and the electric gate did not work.

The kitchen's cutlery is not to our liking, if you have sleeping space for 8 people then you must also have cutlery for 8 people. The place is old and short but works but it's right over the informal area and the gate didn't work and then it was mentioned that the battery gave in over the load shedding, so we had security issues precisely about the gate. Furthermore, very nice if you don't expect too much, for example the pillows are very soft and old and so are the bed linen and the place needs renovation and then they will be able to charge more for the unit as well. Nelsbells is just not what we expected. Owner contacted me but the location is a big problem and especially from the settlement side and the noise at night on weekends is also a big problem.

We had a lovely stay at The Nelsbells Cottage, however, we have a few concerns to share.

The stairs are unsafe for young children, with the space at the top of the stairs being too open, making it too easy for a young child to fall from the top floor to the bottom. We blocked the space with items of furniture we found in the house. The other concern, which the owners should be aware of is the loud music coming from the informal settlement area to the east of the house. It was noisy all night long for both the nights we stayed at the cottage. Perhaps they can take it up with the community leaders? When visiting a 'country' destination like Clarens, you want peace and quiet, unfortunately with this blaring music we didn't have that experience.

Ons het heerlik gekuier, die naweek was te kort!

Die atmosfeer is fantasties met die kaggel op die grondvloer, wat selfs die badkamer op die boonste verdieping warm en snoesig maak. Wat ek wel wil aanbeveel is dat daar 'n nuwe ketel voorsien word. Verder is alles na wense. Die eienaars het goeie kliëntediens gelewer.

Ons het Nelsbells Cottage bevestig om naby-familie te kon onthaal. Ons was so bietjie in die verleentheid gestel.

Die paartjie wat ons genooi het om saam met ons te kom bly het 'n 4 maande oue babatjie. Ons het 13:50 daar aangekom, omdat die babatjie begin moeilik raak het in die dorp. Die skoonmaker was daar en ons het gevra of ons maar solank kan inkom. Sy het eenvoudig gesê: "You can wait". Sy was eers 16:00 klaar en daar was seker items soos pizza-bokse ensovoorts wat nog van die vorige gaste rondgestaan het wat ons haar moes vra om asseblief te verwyder. Nelsbells is perfek geleë en die eienaars is uiters vriendelik, hulpvaardig en professioneel. Ongelukkig het hulle wel geen moeite gedoen om opgraderings en instandhouding aan die huis te doen nie. Die beddegoed is oud en afgeleef en die stort is steeds nie gebruikers-vriendelik nie, al het ons dit met ons vorige kuier aangemeld twee jaar gelede. Ons het met 'n oop gemoed weer Nelsbells toe gegaan, maar is teleurgesteld dat daar nie aandag gegee is aan ons vorige aanbevelings nie.

We have confirmed Nelsbells Cottage to host close family. We were a bit embarrassed.

The couple who invited us to stay with us has a 4 month old baby. We arrived there at 1:50 p.m., because the baby started to have trouble in town. The cleaner was there and we asked if we could come in for the time being. She simply said, "You can wait". She didn't finish until 16:00 and there were probably items such as pizza boxes and so on still lying around from the previous guests that we had to ask her to please remove. Nelsbells is perfectly located and the owners are extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Unfortunately, they did not bother to do upgrades and maintenance to the house. The bedding is old and tired and the shower is still not user friendly, even though we reported this on our last visit two years ago. We went back to Nelsbells with an open mind, but are disappointed that our previous recommendations were not heeded.

Lekker naweek saam met familie.

Ons het geen inligting van Veronica ontvang oor waar ons die sleutel moet kry nie. Dit is die eerste keer vandat ons die webtuiste gebruik dat ons moet inboek en nie al die inligting het wat nodig is nie. Die advertensie sê daar is twee badkamers in hoofhuis, maar die boonste badkamer het geen warm water gehad nie. Die toilette lek en rioolwater loop op grasperk uit. Die ligging is goed en andersins het ons die naweek baie geniet.

Nice weekend with family.

We did not receive any information from Veronica about where to get the key. This is the first time since we have been using the website that we have had to check in and not have all the information we need. The ad says there are two bathrooms in main house, but the upstairs bathroom had no hot water. The toilets leak and sewage runs out onto the lawn. The location is good and otherwise we really enjoyed the weekend.

Clarens bly spesiaal.

Nelsbells is 'n pragtige plekkie. Ongelukkig was daar miskommunikasie tussen eienaar en skoonmakers, wat beteken het dat ons by 'n plek kom wat nog nie skoongemaak is nie, en veral met COVID was dit onaangenaam. Die eienaar het ook nie direk met ons gekommunikeer waar om sleutels te verhaal en af te laai nie. Verder was als in plek, en mooi toegerus. Dankie vir 'n lekker naweek.

Nelsbells is a beautiful place. Unfortunately, there was miscommunication between owner and cleaners, which meant we ended up at a place that hadn't been cleaned yet, and especially with COVID that was unpleasant. The owner also did not communicate directly with us where to retrieve and drop off keys. Furthermore, everything was in place, and nicely equipped. Thanks for a nice weekend.

Wonderlike atmosfeer.

Baie goed toegeruste, lekker kuier huis. Die kaggel is fantasies en die camping cot was 'n treffer. Alles was net te lekker, niemand wou huis toe kom nie. Baie dankie, Clarens was die perfekte geskenk vir my dogter se 21ste, maar The Nelsbells Cottage was 'n treffer, en het in elke opsig gesorg vir soveel precious memories vir ons as gesin. Ons sien julle definitief weer. Kosbare herinneringe vir my en my kinders en kleinkinders, soveel pret en gelag rondom die braai op die stoep en gesellige kaggel, die heerlikste oggend-oomblikke wanneer die son van agter die berge sy gesig wys, op die stoep sit, koffie drink en groet die mooiste herfsdae. Die tyd wat ons by The Nelsbells Cottage en in Clarens deurgebring het, het ons net as een saamgebind, oomblikke wat ons as skatte kan hou, dankie.

Very well equipped, pleasant house. The fireplace is fantastic and the camping cot was a hit. Everything was just too good, nobody wanted to come home. Thank you very much, Clarens was the perfect gift for my daughter's 21st, but The Nelsbells Cottage was a hit, and in every way provided so many precious memories for us as a family. We will definitely see you again. Precious memories for me and my children and grandchildren, so much fun and laughter around the barbecue on the stoep and cozy fireplace, the most delicious morning moments when the sun shows its face from behind the mountains, sitting on the stoep, drinking coffee and greeting the most beautiful autumn days. The time we spent at The Nelsbells Cottage and in Clarens just bonded us as one, moments we can treasure, thank you.

Pragtige ruim akkommodasie met alles en nog wat!

'n Absolute pragtige plek om in te bly met alles wat jy nodig het en nog meer. Daar is selfs items in daardie kombuis wat ek nie eers in my eie huis het nie. Die tuin is 'n lushof en ons hondjie het heerlik rond baljaar. Ek sou net nie sê dat dit loopafstand van die dorp af is nie (behalwe as jy 'n kranige stapper is wie se stapstewels ingepak was). Ek gaan beslis weer hier kom bly!

Beautiful spacious accommodation with everything and more!

An absolutely beautiful place to stay in with everything you need and more. There are even items in that kitchen that I don't even have in my own home. The garden is a loop court and our dog had a great time frolicking around. I just wouldn't say it's walking distance from town (unless you're a keen hiker whose hiking boots were packed). I will definitely stay here again!

Pleasant but needs a few things.

Suggestions: Little hands soaps and mini toiletries in each bathroom would be great, air fresheners in the bathrooms. Wi-Fi is essential these days. All the places we've stayed in Clarens all had Wi-Fi. Maybe little coffee and sugar sachets upon arrival. The flat just needs a mini bar fridge for storing milk when you make coffee there.

Pragtige huis, maar kort instanthouding.

Die stort sowel as die bad se krane het gelek en in alle rigtings gespuit. Die stort wat op die boonste vloer was het ook oorgeloop en teen die muur afgeloop tot in die onderste vloer. Deure kan nie toemaak as dit nie gesluit is nie. Die kaggel was heerlik en die braaigeriewe was lekker.

The shower as well as the bath taps were leaking and spraying in all directions. The shower that was on the upper floor also overflowed and ran down the wall into the lower floor. Doors cannot close if they are not locked. The fireplace was lovely and the braai facilities were nice.

Definitely a recommended accommodation place!

We had such a great stay at Nellsbells, house well equipped, did not require anything more. Really enjoyed the coffee table album (with a tear and a laugh) about the history of the house (especially the paint story on how the color of the house came out blue!) The cosy fireplace and location of the house was also a big positive. Will definitely go back!

Veilig.

Ons het die huis letterlik as slaap plek gebruik. DStv het nie gewerk nie, maar nie rêrig ons gepla nie. Die storte was nie great nie, maar vir die prys is dit klein goed wat nie rêrig saak maak nie. Res van die huis was mooi skoon, en warm beddens het die verblyf aangenaam gemaak. Weet net die mure en die vloer is baie dun, so as jy wil saggies poep of skinder, ander mense in die huis gaan jou vir seker hoor.

Safe.

We literally used the house as a place to sleep. DStv didn't work, but didn't really bother us. The showers were not great, but for the price these are small things that don't really matter. The rest of the house was beautifully clean, and warm beds made the stay enjoyable. Just know the walls and the floor is very thin, so if you want to gossip, other people in the house will certainly hear you.

Die plek is bietjie afgeleef. Nuwe beddegoed, dikker duvets, ekstra warm komberse en groter handdoeke sal dit klaar beter maak en beter waarde vir geld. Die huis is naby aan die plakkerskamp en alhoewel daar 'n alarm is het ons steeds nie te gemaklik geslaap nie.

Nelsbells is a neat, well-equipped and cozy house for a weekend getaway. The only negative is that the music of the township can be heard throughout the night.

Pragtige cottage met als wat jy benodig. Ideaal vir ons familie-byeenkoms en is loopafstand van al die winkels in die dorp. Enigste nadeel van die huis is dat dit glad nie klank dig is nie. Ons het die plek nogtans baie geniet.

Geensins waarde vir geld nie.

Die huis lyk oulik van buite af, maar huis lyk oud en afgeleef van binne af. Die aparte eenheid wat 2 mense slaap kort dringend aandag. Die bed is ongemaklik en oud, geen warm water, die venster kan nie toemaak nie en ons moes dit toeplak. Dit kos 'n fortuin om daar te oornag en ons het baie meer verwag.

Not value for money at all.

The house looks cute from the outside, but the house looks old and worn out from the inside. The separate unit that sleeps 2 people is in urgent need of attention. The bed is uncomfortable and old, no hot water, the window doesn't close and we had to tape it up. It costs a fortune to spend the night there and we expected much more.

Good morning Debbie,

Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you had to endure during your stay, with regards to the water situation in the garden flat. We have big renovation plans scheduled for the flat for January, which will give it a complete face-lift. However, we will look into replacing the bed and warming the cottage in the interim.

We value all feedback, positive or negative, as it assists us in making sure our guests have comfortable stays.

Die verblyf was oor die algemeen goed.

Clarens is egter toe nie die rustige dorpie wat ons verwag het nie. Die huis is prakties en groot genoeg. Ek het voor die tyd met die eienaar gepraat omdat ek bekommerd was oor die feit dat daar net een badkamer was in die huis. Ek was egter gerus gestel dat daar 'n tweede badkamer in die woonstel was. Dit sou op sigself 'n uitdaging wees, 2 badkamers tussen 8 mense, maar ons was bereid om dit te aanvaar in die lig van die goeie prys wat ons betaal. Wat die eienaar ons egter nie gesê het nie, is dat daar slegs een geiser tussen die twee badkamers is en ons het konstant te min warm water gehad. Die huis self is naby 'n informele kamp geleë en ons moes tot in die vroeë oggendure luister na doef-doef musiek. Verder is daar 'n skoolalarm wat elke uur afgaan wat die hele atmosfeer vir ons bederf het. Ek kan ongelukkig nie die gastehuis aanbeveel nie. Dit wys jou dat 'n goeie prys nie altyd kan opmaak vir slegte ligging, 'n tekort aan genoeg badkamers ensovoorts nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

The stay was generally good.

However, Clarens is not the peaceful village we expected. The house is practical and big enough. I spoke to the owner ahead of time because I was concerned about the fact that there was only one bathroom in the house. However, I was reassured that there was a second bathroom in the apartment. That would be a challenge in itself, 2 bathrooms between 8 people, but we were willing to accept it given the good price we were paying. However, what the owner did not tell us is that there is only one geyser between the two bathrooms and we constantly had too little hot water. The house itself is located near an informal camp and we had to listen to blaring music until the early hours of the morning. Furthermore, there is a school alarm that goes off every hour which spoiled the whole atmosphere for us. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the guest house. It goes to show you that a good price can't always make up for bad location, lack of enough bathrooms and so on.

The Nelsbells Cottage 's response

Dear Rachelle,

Thank you for your valued feedback. We will add add another bathroom and larger geyser to the house in January as we fully agree the bathroom and hot water situation is not ideal. It is for this reason that we felt we had to keep our rates reasonable until its improved. Guesthouses, including ourselves, have lodged a complained with regards to the school bell, we are holding thumbs that it will be resolved. Friends and family residing in Clarens advised that the noise from the township was unbearable as it echoed through the whole town. Unfortunately we don't have control over that. With it being Heritage Day long weekend, there must have been lots of events taking place in the township. With all the feedback we have received from previous guests, yours is the first indicating that you will not be back and cannot recommend our guest house. This saddens me but I want to thank you for your honest review.

Yours sincerely,
Andrien
