Dubbelbed nie 'n bo-laken gehad nie - snikhete aand. Indruk: oud/stowwerig.

Verblyf was bevredigend maar nie uitstaande nie.

We love historical places, this little gem needs to shine again!

Room disappointing. Too much clutter. Smell of cat urine. Had a huge exercise machine in the room with us. Bed was comfortable though. Parking was secure. More tea and coffee would have been good.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review - constructive criticism is a great way to learn and improve on the experience we offer our guests. I am a little confused regarding the smell of cat urine, as we have 2 resident dogs which are not allowed in the house and no cats. I have noted your point about the tea and coffee. In the communal kitchen, we have a tea and coffee station plus a snack corner which guests are allowed to help themselves to at any time.

Thank you and kind regards, Carol

Baie slegte ondervinding.

Die gastehuis lyk glad nie meer soos op die foto's nie. Die kamer het 'n baie sterk reuk gehad van pine gel en ons kon skaars asem haal. Ons het toe gekla en het 'n ander kamer gekry wat beter was. Ons ontbyt was ingesluit maar die bestuurderes was baie ongeskik tydens ontbyt en het ons baie on tuis laat voel. Ek sal die gastehuis nie aanbeveel nie. Die huis is baie outyds en kort redekor. Less is more!

Very bad experience.

The guest house doesn't look at all like it does in the photos. The room had a very strong smell of pine gel and we could hardly breathe. We then complained and got another room which was better. Our breakfast was included but the managers were very incompetent during breakfast and made us feel very uncomfortable. I would not recommend the guest house. The house is very old-fashioned and lacks decor. Less is more!

Very difficult to comment.

Firstly no one was at home on arrival, secondly after I entered the property there was another person at the back of the pool, clothes etc washing over all the outside chairs, thirdly after the person went to show the room the bathroom was across the hall, the room and bathroom was substandard, there was also an unpleasant smell in the air, after talking to owner, she recommended another room, it looked better, however, the bed was very high, my wife walks with support and would not be able to get on the bed . It's not my nature to complain, but my wife and I didn't want to end our vacation that way. Then found accommodation just outside town. I was hoping I could receive something back from the R2000 I paid. Booked and paid 3 days before stay. Owner mentioned she would communicate with Sweet Sleep to confirm cancellation policy. So far no further communication. It seems to me that I will not receive any refunds either. Sad situation.

Lekker kunstige kuier.

Wittedrift Manor House is tjokkeblok vol kuns en oudhede en 'n lus vir die oog vir diegene wat graag markte besoek en van 'n outydse ervaring hou. Die kamers is gemaklik en daar is 'n lekker gemeenskaplike kombuis waar almal kuier en Carol, die bestuurderes, ontbyt maak. Die swembad en patio-area buite is ook heerlik na 'n lang dag se rondloop. Ons het Tulbagh geniet en hoop om meer te besoek. Carol het baie moeite gedoen om ons verblyf lekker te maak en is ook 'n handige toergids.

Nice artistic visit.

Wittedrift Manor House is chock full of art and antiques and a feast for the eyes for those who like to visit markets and enjoy an old fashioned experience. The rooms are comfortable and there is a nice communal kitchen where everyone hangs out and Carol, the managers, makes breakfast. The pool and patio area outside is also lovely after a long day of walking around. We enjoyed Tulbagh and hope to visit more. Carol went to great lengths to make our stay enjoyable and is also a handy tour guide.

Heerlik met kaggel en verwarmers in die ou koue pragtige huis.

Ontvangs was aanvanklik bietjie teleurstellend want ons moes wag vir die gasvrou om op te daag. Hierna was alles baie lekker. Vriendelike hulpvaardige dame. Heerlike ontbyt en 'n warm huis te midde van die koue buite. Die kaggelvuur in die sitkamer en 'n verwarmer in ons slaapkamer was heel snoesig. Die bedagsame gasvrou het ook die elektriese kombers aangeskakel terwyl ons uit was vir ete! En wat 'n pragtige dorp!

Lovely fireplace and heater in the old, cold, beautiful house.

The reception was initially a bit disappointing because we had to wait for the hostess to arrive. After this everything was very nice. Friendly, helpful lady. Delicious breakfast and a warm house amid the cold outside. The fireplace in the lounge and a heater in our bedroom was quite cosy. The kind hostess also put the electric blankets on while we were out for dinner! And what a beautiful town!

Hartlike ontvangs, maar vuil.

Die décor is baie interessant en Carrol se verwelkoming was hartlik. Die kamers is egter stowwerig, die wasbak in die kombuis stink en die houtmeubels skree vir 'n bietjie waks. Die algemene indruk is een van verwaarlosing (wat baie jammer is).
