87 guests' feedbackIt was truly the most wonderful weekend ever. Everything was convenient and we were at ease. Thank you very much, it really is worth the costs!
Very well and stylishly equipped.
Amazing, it was my first time in George and I love it.
We really enjoyed our stay! The place was really clean, well equipped and well situated. We are really happy with our stay! And the pizza cafe and pub downstairs makes it even better for a quick meal or drink! Really impressed and would definitely recommend!
Our honeymoon was perfect.
The facility is really cozily furnished. The bar and restaurant are conveniently in the same building, which made it so nice.
Excellent and everything we needed. The pizza place was even cozy and good service.
We had a wonderful stay. There was no provision for load shedding and we prefer flat sheets on the bed.
Peaceful with all that you need.
It was very nice and the food at the restaurant was great.
I had a very nice stay. Will stay there again. Very neat!
Everything I need is there. I had a very nice stay.
It was a good experience. The photos are an accurate representation of the accommodation. It is small, yet so practical and loaded with all amenities.
Great value for money! Cosy, clean, and provided a comfortable stay. Highly recommended, I'll be back!
I had a great and peaceful stay at Pollocks Place.
Pollock is clean and safe. It is a very nice place to go and relax.
We loved the privacy and everything in the house was nice and cosy.
Owner very friendly and goes out of her way to help.
The cottage unit we booked was very neat and well equipped, but there were two or three aspects that should receive attention. During load shedding, the cottage is not part of the building that receives power from the generator and on two occasions I was unable to move in or out of the gate as there was a customer from the restaurant parked in front of the gate. There was also a guest on Saturday evening who apparently needed two parking spaces to fit his CF registration van.
All the necessary amenities and equipped with facilities ideal for travelers doing contract work in the area. Wifi in cottage was a little unstable at the time, but may have been due to "loadshedding" in the area. Will definitely use Pollocks again.
The unit is beautiful, super clean and tidy. Staff very friendly and helpful.
The apartments have all that one would need, and the location is in a nice area. Malls and restaurants are all within walking and driving distance.
It should be mentioned that it is right above a very busy bar and not just a pizza joint.
We had a nice stay in apartment no. 4. Very nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. We stayed there for 3 nights and would definitely recommend it. The restaurant, under the apartments, had very good food.
The good: Beautiful decor, comfortable bed, nice linen and towels, everything spotless and tidy. Secure parking behind a gate. The bad: When we arrived there was no indication where to check in, we had to call the number on the gate for someone to come open (no bell). When we left in the morning, we didn't know where to leave the key - a passerby suggested we leave the key at the back of the restaurant's kitchen. If you are young and like to hang out late at night, the place is perfect - above a very cozy pizza place/pub. Certainly not ideal for older people like us. Noise from the pub is disturbing, there is also a giant aircon unit that hums outside your window all night. Very steep stairs up to the rooms. When we showered in the morning there was not a drop of hot water (and yes, the geyser was on, we made sure the night before). Wifi password was not posted anywhere or communicated to us.
We travelled to George for a race (i. e. early mornings), so were not pleased by the location being above the bar. Only one small light for loadshedding purposes (that went flat very quickly). Past guest's belongings left in the flat. Flat was not ready by the check-in time.
A beautiful place with everything you need. We have in no. Stayed 5 and it was very pleasant - enough space for two, comfortable beds and a nice shower, soft linen and towels and safe parking. It's hard to imagine how it could improve.
Pollocks Place is the best place to book. Kindness is top notch. I enjoyed my weekend so much. There is so much to tell, please. you have to survive it yourself. Pollocks Place staff are the best.
Give Pollocks Place an A+ rating. Nice and Central. Venue is clean and comfortable. Added bonus of Restaurant on premises.
Was a very nice, clean place to stay.
I will definitely make use of Pollocks Place again.
As always, my stay at Pollocks was all I needed and more. Unit 4 is a smaller unit that does not fade in comparison to the bigger units. I have loved every unit I have stayed in, and each time I think it is my favourite. The unit may be more compact, but I found it cosy, and probably the one I would choose with my next booking again. The finishes, appliances, crockery, cutlery and linen are top notch - more than you would require but a really lovely touch. The linen and towels are of great quality and smell divine. I really just love staying here. I would recommend that the guest's wifi password is somewhere visible.
This is my home away from home when working in George for a few days. I am very fussy where I stay and this ticks all the boxes. It is spacious, and modern, with tasteful vintage touches. Super clean with quality bedding, towels, kitchen cutlery, utensils and appliances. Privacy is very important to me and the establishment provides that despite having a pub/restaurant on site. I would not stay anywhere else unless everyone discovers this hidden gem and the place is booked up!
You won't get better value for money than at Pollocks Place. Secure parking, units are large enough that you can comfortably stay there for a long time, clean and tidy with everything and more you need for a self-catering unit. The restaurant downstairs just makes it even more comfortable with delicious food. Perfect for single travelers or couples.
My husband and I were able to relax and forget about the day's stress. You have everything you need.
I always stay there when I work in George. Well located and comfortable to stay at and the restaurant is downstairs. Delicious food and friendly service.
Very luxurious and neat for the price.
The staff are friendly, I had safe parking for my rental, the unit is equipped with all the necessities and a little more - high end appliances and utensils, comfortable, extremely clean and fresh. Parking may be a little tricky if you check in late, but the staff are very helpful in making sure your vehicle has a safe and secure parking spot behind a remote controlled gate. I will definitely return.
What an absolutely amazing place, everything and more you could want. Clean, tidy, safe. The kitchen is so beautiful with more stuff than you could ever need. When you walk in, you can smell how clean the place is. We will definitely stay there again.
Beautiful place. Very tasteful and top quality of kitchen, bedding, furniture.
Would definitely recommend this great, friendly place. Very central.
Were extremely helpful when I needed it.
My stay was quite pleasant, no one bothers you with loud music, there is a restaurant downstairs that makes amazing food where the staff is also friendly. The place is fully equipped with everything you need. The owners were very nice and friendly and especially understanding when my stay was cut short. I would recommend this place to anyone staying for business or leisure.
The accommodation is very neat.
At first when you arrive it looks deceiving, as the photos on the web don't show the outside, but once you walk upstairs and open your door, your whole perception changes, we started with a bit of a disappointment, no aircon, no oven, but Trix the owner was on top of it in a matter of hour there was an oven and an aircon, the customer service is impeccable, Trix, truly know how to satisfy her customers and the flatlets are spotless and beautiful, the location is perfectly central to all the activities and it is not difficult to find no matter where you are driving from or two. The smell of the freshly baked pizza from downstairs into your room on an evening basis and makes your mouth water. The pizzas are amazing. We had a wonderful stay and we would like to thank Trix for making us feel so at home and for filling all our requests, I would highly recommend this little gem in George to anyone.
When I booked the place I didn't know what to expect, but when we got there I was amazed by how clean and beautiful the place was. I felt at home. Really love it.
Place was clean and tidy. Nice and spacious. Would just suggest that a light be provided for the load shedding.
Very neat unit with everything you need to make your stay away from home comfortable.
Price is very reasonable and very conveniently located. Gas station across the street. Pollocks Pizza & Cafe just next door.
Rooms are beautiful and particularly neat. Pizza restaurant was also great and service good. Noise from pub was really bad - continued until after 2. Would not recommend for people who have to work the next day.
The guest house is good value for money and very tidy. However, I found the bed to be hard, but other than that, I can recommend it.
Neat and hospitable.
No one inquires if everything is in order after you have paid. Restaurant at times disturbing and generator noise difficult to sleep. No worries about leaving, had to make a plan myself. Otherwise place is very nice and clean. Parking can be difficult. WiFi was very weak.
Pollocks Place is accommodation above a pizza restaurant with a bar that the locals use as their place of entertainment/watering hole, there is music with loud noise/singing and shouting that goes on until after 12 at night, I booked for 5 nights and left after 3 nights. Trix (the owner) advised me that she doesn’t normally refund, however, she did eventually. This is definitely not the place to stay if you are looking for a good night's sleep. Would I recommend or stay there again? Definitely not.
No indication of load shedding schedule. The gate was open upon our arrival. I called on Friday morning to report that the remote was not working and a relative of the owner said I could open the gate. This was also the case on Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening. Secure parking debatable. The unit is advertised as being on top of a restaurant with a bar. More of a pub or bar! After a survey was sent to the owner, she said that at least you can't hear it when the doors and windows are closed. So don't expect to open windows, and in that case don't expect a fan or air conditioner. If you want to hang out and shout and don't expect to sleep much, this is the place for you. Lick-wake at Pollocks Place. This is not worth the money! We would have liked to move to another accommodation after the 1st night, but George was quite fully booked and Pollocks Place had already been paid in full.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pollocks. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect.
It is very safe and your pets are also welcome there. Is very hospitable and worth staying there. Is central and very clean. Would recommend to anyone to stay there. Thank you very much Pollock Farms. Was very nice.
Nice being above a restaurant and bar.
I have stayed in many self-catering and bed and breakfast establishments and this one has many great qualities: Clean and modern. Great water pressure. Full kitchen. Comfy bed and storage for clothing. Heated towel rail. Secure parking. Close to town. Friendly host. Close to Spar and eateries. Thank you for the lovely stay!
Was good! Very private.
There was immediate response with extreme kindness when we had a small problem. Very homely atmosphere WiFi and DSTV!
We had a very nice stay. We were very impressed by the decor, cleanliness and layout of the unit. And the security is definitely a + for us, will definitely come and stay there again.
It is on main road and very near and convenient to all connected tourist places.
If you like to drink this would be a wonderful place for you and your partner, because the pub is very close. It was quiet and big fun.
To our surprise it looked inside exactly as on the website. Excellent detail inside. Would appreciate parking allocations in terms of units - and not random parking for all.
Hospitable and nice atmosphere.
Corners of the bed are very sharp - bumped shins a lot! No alternate lights during load shedding. Otherwise all good.
Nice clean and very neat. Can definitely recommend it. Value for money.
The owners are very accommodating people. The unit I stayed in is modern and fairly well equipped. The location does have a problem with road noise. It's on a main route through George and certain drivers sometimes use the road to speed. Then there is the problem of residents around the property keeping illegal farm animals. I was woken up every morning between 04:30 and 05:00 by a rooster crowing. The owners did try to locate its source, without success. I was offered alternative accommodation which I declined, but the point is that residents in this area don't care about country laws and this could have an impact on tourism.
The residence and parking are placed in a very inconvenient location.
The coffee and milk were not right. 1 bag of Ricoffy and powdered milk. 1 small towel per person. Beds were very nice.
Will definitely stay at Pollocks again. It's private, safe and the decor in the apartment is so beautiful. It's perfect for couples.
The place is beautiful, the area is gorgeous and it is a short distance to the nearest beach.
I would definitely recommend the place to singles and couples visiting the George area. The bar and dining area is cozy and the food was very enjoyable. The owners are friendly as well as the staff and townspeople.
Beautiful and clean place. Well located. Would recommend it scary time.
Although Pollocks Place is situated above a restaurant, there is not much noise coming in. It's a lovely place to stay and quite central. Fancourt is within walking distance and the area is ideal for cycling and jogging.
Fantastic! It's never easy away from home, but the location, facilities and friendly staff make you feel right at home. I can strongly recommend the accommodation. I can't stress enough how much value for money you get. Thanks, keep up the good work. I hope to visit again soon.
I really enjoyed it. Nice big room.
A stone's throw from George Airport with quick access to the motorway allowing you to explore the surrounding area without spending unnecessary time in traffic in George. Modern amenities that met all my needs. Friendly reception and safe parking.
Very nice stay. More quiet that we expected since it is located in a relatively busy street. Would recommend it. The unit in which we stayed is very neat.
Nice food. Very neat rooms. Ideal if you are not permanently room-bound, but do want to explore the area. Maybe just advertise that it is located above the bar/restaurant.
This establishment is incorrectly advertised, it is located above a sports bar (which is not advertised as such). The noise does not stop till 3 AM. So don't expect a decent sleep. After asking for WiFi code, was told there was a problem, so no internet for duration of stay. Oh, yes, please bring your own towels, as none were supplied, we had to go out and buy.
