Local area description
The house is absolutely beautiful, huge and magnificent garden with a clean pool, comfortable bedrooms and friendly, efficient service. There is some noise from the road which was busy on Friday and Saturday night but this quietened down on Sunday. The atmosphere and friendly members of staff are welcoming and the rooms beautifully furnished and clean. We feel that the breakfast could include fresh filter coffee and a wider choice of joghurt( such as natural and fat free or low fat) and fruit as well as fresh fruit juice. All in all we had a lovely stay at The Sleeping Bao.

My family was in awe with the place, the wood and the atmosphere. Everything was very clean and tidy. However, bed keeps moving round and away from wall. Loose headboards moving and banging on wall. Close to mains street with early traffic. Think the rooms on the other side of house would have been more quite. Very close to good restaurants.Yes, I will stay there again. Price should be somewhat negotiable. We did not take breakfast (two of us) but I think we were charged.

Die B&B is baie goed geleë vir die Comrades atleet, af sowel as op. Die diens is flink en vriendelik, met ‘n gerieflike kamer. Ontbyt was smaaklik voorgesit en die opsie van verskillende koffie was verfrissend. Waarde vir geld, beslis.

Lovely setting, beautiful outside unit. Safe parking inside premises, breakfast to order, overall a very positive experience. Will likely be back when we visit the same event in future.

We really had a good time during the stay. Everything was neat and clean and had all the amenities required. We won’t hesitate to request a stay here again. Staff were polite, on time with breakfasts and very helpful. Really a wonderful place and close to all the routes if going on the Midlands Meander, as well as close to all shopping centres and malls in the area.

Die gastehuis is baie gerieflik geleë naby die N3. Die akkommodasie was aangenaam en selfs met beurtkrag het die personeel dit vir ons so gerieflik as moontlik gemaak, naamlik lampe was reeds reggesit is in die kamer. Joice is ‘n staatmaker in daardie huis.

Die foto’s op die webtuiste gee nie die ware weergawe van die plek nie. Die plek is meer as dit. Dis rustig, netjies. Die mense is behulpsaam. Hulle doen meer as wat daar van hulle verwag word. Sal enige tyd teruggaan.

Die kamer is onlangs nuut oorgedoen, maar daar was nêrens plek om seep of sjampoe te sit in die stort nie. Die stort se deur het nie geseël nie. Ons was in ‘n dubbelkamer, maar met net een gaste-handdoek. Die eienaars is baie gasvry en vriendelik, maar hou baie van oudhede en alles in huis is outyds. Die kamer het nie gemaklike stoele in gehad om op te sit nie. Daar was geen tafeltjie in badkamer om badkamer benodigdhede op te sit nie. Moes maar gebruik maak van die vloer.

Die kamer was nie gereed met my aankoms die laatmiddag nie. Die interieur is oud en oudtyds. Kitskoffie met ontbyt. Ontbyt-buffet meer as teleurstellend, en elke oggend dieselfde. Kontinentale ontbyt oneetbaar. Jammer, maar ek kan nie hierdie gastehuis aanbeveel nie.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were very helpful. The sleeping arrangement were comfortable and spacious.
Only small things need to be addressed:- Water temp. in showers are hard to regulate. Towel rails kept falling off. Pool was slightly green. Gate remote not working.
Other wise and enjoyable stay.
Thank You.
