144 guests' feedbackIt was very delightful. Beautiful cottage.
It was very nice. The place was nicely equipped with everything you need for a quick or long stay.
I had a very nice stay. Thoroughly enjoyed staying there.
Was very peaceful and cozy. Very cute place. Close enough to everything, but also far enough from all the noise.
We enjoyed our stay there thoroughly. The flat is not too big or too small and has everything you need for your stay. All you need to take is yourself and groceries.
I normally arrive very early at Te Moi due to my feeding scheme in Paarl area. Owners allow me to book in early. The cottage was freshly cleaned. I did my spot check on the cottage and I was satisfied that the place was clean. As a GM of a 5-star villa, it's a habit. Te Moi was recently upgraded and I like the new placement of the bed. More space in the bedroom. The kitchen layout is much better. The reason why I like this place is that it's safe and the neighbours are always friendly whenever I see them. The location is very central.
Yes, we really enjoyed it and it was very comfortable. It is large and very suitable for two persons.
Pleasant and quiet place.
We will definitely stay there again!
Very nice stay, small but enough for a night or two.
Get what you pay for, just don't like my vehicle having to be parked off site.
Nice and quiet and ready for when you want to lay your head down. Apart from the bad reviews, we enjoyed it. We would recommend WiFi and better TV channels. There is currently only OVHD with no WiFi. The neighbors next door/above did fight again as mentioned in previous reviews.
Would recommend staying here.
Unit is well located but on a very busy street and traffic was bad. Unit needs maintenance - wooden doors are rusted and don't close well, cement floor in bathroom looks bad. There were two steps - one from the kitchen to the bedroom and in the bathroom to the shower, which were not marked as steps and one could fall badly and get hurt. Grill was very dirty and needs good soap and water. Bedroom - bed pushed into hole and difficult to move around bed. No little tables next to the sofa to put glasses on.
Nice big spacious place! Only problem with outside gate lock and bad that there is no WiFi.
We were mostly out of just sleeping there. Had a nice stay, only had a little trouble with the front door that had to be unlocked. Well done. Thank you.
Unfortunately there was a problem with ants and small cockroaches. Towels not changed in the 8 days we were there.
It was orite, but was soured by the owner who was incompetent it was all about a key. He literally made us feel like we were stupid just for struggling with the key box. Unfit man. The place smells musty and the carpet in the kitchen is constantly wet.
Always good at Te Moi, will definitely stay there again.
The place was very clean and well equipped. It was perfect for an overnight stay for a wedding. It was much bigger than I expected. The cleanliness was 10/10 and it was very modern. I would definitely recommend it. The host was very helpful.
Everything that was needed for an overnight stay. Very neat and clean. Received well detailed instructions via WhatsApp regarding key, check-in and check-out times etc.
Love this place and the location and interior of the villa!
Love the location, very central.
My sixth stay at Te Moi. Will definitely come back again and again.
We enjoyed it, it was peaceful and everything we needed was already there. Thank you.
Layout of Te Moi is very modern, and the bed is very comfortable. The location is perfect!
It's a cute place! 10 star!
Very tidy, would recommend to anyone for a break to Te Moi.
Really peaceful and very private.
We really enjoyed our stay and got good value for money at Te Moi. Thank you very much! If we had stayed longer, WiFi might have been a good option to have, but otherwise it was a very pleasant and delightful experience. The arrangement with the key is also very cute and incredibly convenient and it also made it much easier for us to check in when we were ready as we were there for a netball tournament. So, well done and thank you very much. We will come again anytime!
The place was affordable. Really value for money.
The place was well-situated and easy to get to. Very open and nice clean and very neat. I will definitely recommend more people to go. I took my parents for a nice and quiet night because I don't see them often. From their response, they were very happy with the place. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We had a great stay and the house has enough for the period. The air conditioning in the room worked very well for the hot weather. Nice switch off for the short time.
Slept very well, beautiful apartment with everything you need. See you again soon.
I love the fact this place is located very centrally to my NGO projects.
The location of Te Moi is central to my projects. The costs of room is low enough and i feel safe at all times.
Te Moi is quite small, but on the road you only need clean bedding and a shower. The bed sleeps well and the shower is 5-star. The place is furnished with all that is needed for an overnight stay. I was there for 3 nights and really enjoyed it.
The surroundings are very nice, close to everything, the accommodation itself is neat and clean, would recommend to anyone.
Had a good time and slept and was very much on time for the school sports the next morning. Close to everything you need, shops and restaurants, will come again.
The owners were very friendly and we had a nice stay.
The place is very nice and quite well furnished. The communication between the caretaker/manager and the guests could improve regarding the key box code etc. The folding couch in the living room is not for an adult at all, only for children. The photos are a bit misleading with what was available. There was also no wifi. There was also laundry in the washing machine. Paarl is extremely beautiful in nature and Te Moi is ideal for a young couple.
Everything I needed was in Te Moi. In the Paarl heat, the air conditioning in the room is a relief and the bonus was that the place was beautifully decorated. The owners were friendly and helpful. Wifi would have helped though.
Unexpected cosy place. Loved that it was enough. Thank you.
There was no fridge, stove or sofa bed. The setup for 2 was disappointing.
A place I would recommend. Convenient and comfortable to rest in private.
We struggled to get into the apartment at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after having to drive a long way with a baby in the car. We had to knock on the tenant's door to get the owner's number. (The number was not filled in and according to the tenant this often happens). The agent contacted and WhatsApped us too late with directions to come in. Load shedding was blamed for the poor communication even though it was not load shedding. The load shedding schedule was sent after it was already load shedding. The load shedding light did not work. The roof or plate or something was banging all night and we didn't sleep at all. Our rental car had to sleep on the street while the neighbors' dogs barked. And we are waiting for our bottle of wine in the mail, after having to ask for it twice and sending the agent proof that it was advertised. The apartment is located on the outskirts of town and we will book closer to town next time. We discussed this with the owner and she apologized, offered to mail the wine and offered a free night. We asked for a refund seeing that we will not book here again, but it was refused. All said and done, the apartment would have been adequate under other circumstances even if the photos and promotions are not exactly as advertised.
Except for the gizzards and gizzards outside. we had a very nice stay. It would be good to inform people from far away about it then they can make preparations.
It was good but I felt that they should have told me about the WiFi. I paid the full amount upfront and there were too many mosquitoes and flies.
I feel the photos reflect the accommodation, but hide things. There are no nightstands next to the bed to put your things down. Was woken up at 11 at night with people staying in the main house making incredible noise. No WiFi/internet and very bad phone reception in the room. Bedding has seen better days and the bed has been slept through. Nothing in the bathroom like a soap, or body wash for the 'one-day' traveller. No cushions for the bench outside and the braai needs cleaning. Can mention that the shower is amazing.
Unfortunately, the experience was negative, despite previous "reviews" we had read. The place was not properly cleaned, the couch was full of stains, there was no WiFi, 2 windows were broken, there was no coffee, and the parking was outside on the sidewalk. The place needs attention.
Place smells of old sweat, bed linen had hair on it, air conditioning, loadshedding light's remote control and TV didn't work, black mildew on windows that can't even close and so the guests have to lie in bed with cold air blowing all the time on their way. Weak, weak, weak.
Very nice place. But was dirty. Food in the microwave, which was already rotten. Cobwebs on the roof of the room and living area, window glass that is out. No Wi-Fi.
The place was dirty. Stunk of smoke. Dead insects in the place. Oven dirty inside. Seasoned with salt. Shower smooth and slimy. Very unpleasant experience. Hair in our bed. Crumbs in our bed.
The place is spotless, everything you need and more, we only stayed one night, visited the most beautiful wine farms in the area, and then checked in and relaxed there for barbecues and socializing, als is neat and well furnished, we will for sure book again at Te Moi, and stay a few days longer next time. It was perfect for a couple who just want to get away and enjoy the area.
The location is perfect. The ambiance of the room is positive. It is spacious and furnished in a modern way. Bed is comfortable and there is a huge bathroom.
We were there for 2 nights. We were happy with what we got.
The flatlet has beautiful decor and is spacious. We had a great stay and felt we received more than expected. Johan is a great host, thank you for the stay. We will be back when we visit Paarl again!
Als was incredibly beautiful, decor and also so comfortable. Get key in a cute little thing at gate. We really enjoyed it. We're going there again. Te Moi was "too beautiful".
Was delicious. Maybe check WiFi options later too.
Quiet, peaceful and very tidy.
Very helpful with check in, the place was very clean and safe. We really enjoyed the privacy.
Ek moes my boetie wegneem om te gaan studeer in die Paarl en moes toe vinnig 'n plekkie kry vir ons om oor te bly. Die plek was skoon, ons was gemaklik en al die basiese geriewe was daar.
We had a pleasant time.
I am very full of doubts about accommodation. Especially that it should be neat and clean. This was really a winner. Very nice decor and style. Secure behind locked gate and door and very private. However, we were only very worried about our vehicle out on the street, but at least we were worried for nothing. Was very nice. Thank you.
Our stay was only for 1 night. We arrived late and left early. We didn't need anything more.
Ideal for a one-night stay!
Clean and well equipped. Privacy was a big bonus.
Recommendation to put shampoo and soap there.
A toaster or induction cooker would be a big plus. No cooking facility. Other than that it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
We stayed one night and were very comfortable.
Comfortable, clean accommodation. Just missed a bottle opener. The air conditioner does not heat, so it was just cold. However, there is a heater which I used and the bedding was nice and warm.
We were concerned about the safety. Twice during the night someone tried to enter the outer door by opening the door handle. We turned on the lights and could hear someone running away.
Perfect for 1 night's sleepover.
We actually just slept over. Wanted to watch some TV, but the power went out right after we got there. It would help to get a grid of the area's schedule so we could be prepared. There were candles, but a nice light would also help. There are feather pillows that are very comfortable, but good to know ahead of time for people who are allergic to dust and feathers. The residents parked in our car park and there was no other car park available as there was building work on the opposite side of the road. We couldn't get hold of the owner, so we just went to knock on the main house. They were very friendly and immediately moved their car. The owner did call us back later to make sure everything was in order. There is no shower soap in the shower as in the photos. The sofa by the TV also looks different and is very hard and uncomfortable. Only 1 tea bag. For what we needed it was perfectly adequate, but I hope the information above helps someone else arrive prepared.
Very nice Everything that is needed.
The sofa bed for children is not very comfortable.
We had two nights of hell at the place. The power kept going out. The geyser didn't work so we had to shower in cold water in the middle of winter! This while there was only 1 blanket between 3 of us. It was loadshedding and we only had 1 candle. Oh yeah here's another list of things that didn't work: bedside lights, the TV, heater, air conditioning, most of the lights. We sat there in the dark, freezing from the cold. Never again.
The cover photo is of a private house, not the unit. The unit is a long, narrow building. The parking is open and on the sidewalk. There was no WiFi. The couch that has been turned into a bed is old and does not sleep comfortably. There was also a large, wet spot as if the previous guests had possibly spilled water. The one blanket that was in the closet was stored with food spilled on it. The wall heater is broken. The standing fan is full of dust. We had 8 pm to 10 pm loadshedding and all the unit offered was one candle holder. No standby flash or bulb. Between the bathroom, bedroom and living area, the one candle holder is not sufficient and we had to get by with cell phone flashes. Sorry to say, but other places for R600 offer much better overnight accommodation.
There was no safe parking space for my car. Sleeping place was not scary for 3 persons.
Good choice value for money.
We stayed in Le Fleur for two nights. Beautiful room with sitting room. Neat, clean and beautiful interior.
Self catering unit is neat, clean, cute and chic with a French "flair"
Cute place. Neatly cared for. Hostess friendly.
The place is very beautiful, I am madly in love with the shower. The bedding is nice and fluffy and warm. I would go back again anytime.
There were only 2 pillows on the double bed. It's not a big problem, but think future guests might appreciate 2 per person.
We were very surprised when we saw our place to stay. What a beautiful and neat unit. It's peaceful and just what we needed. The owners are so pleasant and friendly. We are definitely looking forward to visiting here again. Thank you very much Te Moi. You are Te Moi.
Te Moi is a cute little place. Very neat. I can recommend it.
We were a bit worried about the parking on the street, but the owner immediately offered safe parking behind a closed gate to reassure us.
It was a beautiful place and the bathroom is excellent. I would suggest a basin in the kitchen for dishes. It is however not a problem as the dishes were taken care off.
The place is clean and tidy.
Very nice stay. Friendly atmosphere. Can recommend it to anyone.
Very friendly reception.
The accommodation was spacious and clean but the partial kitchen had no sink. No wine glasses. Towels were thin and hard. No bedroom cupboards, but hanging space in partial kitchen. Noisy compressor of bar fridge.
We would just like to know what the WiFi password is because we couldn't see it anywhere. We also didn't know what to do with the key when we left. Luckily we found the owner outside and we were able to give him the key. An email or even just a note with the necessary information on the table would have helped with this.
Value for money and location is great. We had a great stay, just cold but would use this apartment again anytime.
Perfect if you just want to stay overnight.
Being self catering, one should at least have catering facilities i.e. a cooker. Fortunately it did have a microwave.
Bedroom 4 was a double bed and sofa bed in the same room. It was not clearly stated in the ad and not pleasant. However, owner accommodated us with another bedroom. The shower drain drains too slowly and the design of the shower causes the bathroom floor to be flooded. The bed sleeps very well.
The premises are not pet-friendly as advertised for the long period of time I stayed there. There is an alleged paw mark on the sofa which I have now been asked to pay R250 for cleaning.
No sink in kitchen, no trash. No porch. Street parking. Had to ask for towels. No internet. Dilapidated couch, no closet so you have to live out of your suitcase. Almost unrecognizable from description on the internet. To fill the kettle you have to go to the bathroom. Lots of street noise and I can go on and on about how poor it is.
I wish I could write a better review, but we got there and the place smelled like smoke, so unfortunately it gave the place a dirty feel and we decided to look for alternative accommodation instead. The couch in the room was also full of dirty marks. The description mentions that there is a stoep with a view, but this is not the case. Cars are also on the street and not behind a fence. We did not feel safe. The photos need to be updated as they no longer look exactly like the photos either. Future guests may also want to keep in mind that a cleaning fee is charged on top of the price you pay for the reservation.
Would only have liked a small stove to be able to make breakfast. Everything else was top notch. Quick service. Very clean and tidy.
Very nice place to stay
It was just to get away and relax, but it was worth it.
Too peaceful and close to CBD.
Everything and more! I recommend it.
Had a very nice weekend. We were well received. Very friendly people. Will definitely stop by again soon!
Willing to help where they can.
Beautiful. It's a beautiful place. We really enjoyed staying there. It is very quiet and a safe area. Will definitely stay there again.
Was very nice and peaceful. On arrival, there was no microwave as it was shown in the photos, but the owner arranged it very quickly and came to sit for us. Very friendly.
Nice and quiet and comfortable.
Very well appointed. Le Fleur unit is beautiful and the air conditioning was welcome during hot times.
Te Moi is ideally located, easily accessible and very welcoming.
Paid for the more expensive room with air conditioner. Beautiful little apartment. Silver clean. Very friendly reception - also contacted us again via Whatsapp to hear if everything is ok. Love it rather than someone knocking on your door (our privacy is respected). Stayed for 2 days - was surprised to see apartment cleaned throughout the day, this doesn't usually happen at self catering places.
Had a pleasant stay, on the outskirts of Paarl, away from traffic noise. Well equipped unit, wall plugs could have been more, especially for business traveller. Sorry hostess didn't bother to come meet me.
Partner and I needed a break and your facility met the criteria. He wants a bigger screen TV though.
Would rather recommend it for a business trip or an overnight stay. Very friendly welcome and unit was neat and clean. The 'cooler box' had to be used to help out the small fridge. Just a tip that the ceiling fan in the room is not working. The porch is small and privacy can be an issue.
We were mistakenly placed in the wrong room - late last night the owner wanted us to move. I said I would only move the next day. We have not met or seen her. She called us and she stayed on the premises.
Been very hot, fan not working, use "cool box" as fridge.
Absolutely enjoyed our stay here (the place was neat and tidy). Also had a lot of privacy!
Wonderful place to overnight, comfortable bed and more than expected in the self catering department, although a surface to prepare food in this area could be a future improvement, otherwise a delightful place with a very relaxed atmosphere and the easiest booking in and out ever! Huge bathroom with wonderful shower!
Thank you to Maria and Johan who received us so kindly. It was wonderful to stay with you and the accommodation was very nicely decorated and comfortable. The bed sleeps well and everything was clean and tidy. You will definitely see us again.
Very friendly and helpful people at Te Moi, not far from businesses and shops. Quiet turn and safe too. Anytime when needed overnight or even for few days will book again.
It was a breathtaking place and I will go again.
See stars.
The place is nicely decorated and the service was great even when there was no power they provided us with something hot.
Beautiful attention to detail.
Very comfortable place to go home, slept great, very nice bed and peaceful atmosphere! Many thanks to the hostess for making it so pleasant for us! Can highly recommend it!
It's very private and the atmosphere is breathtaking. Te Mooi has a central location. It's not difficult to find. Will definitely come back. It's perfect to spend quality time.
A beautiful place with very friendly, helpful owners. Everything you need, and a lovely bed! Close to everything and very safe. Would love to go there again.
Nice people, clean and modern B&B. Will definitely visit again.
Very friendly. Beautiful place.
Everything was great, clean, tidy, hospitality great and appreciated communication from hostess. Would recommend installing door between spacious bathroom and room for that bit of privacy. See it as positive criticism, it won't bother everyone. Would definitely recommend the place.
Very pleasant hostess who was very helpful especially because we only got there so late. Room was very neat and clean. Only problem is that there was a cleaning fee we had to pay. I don't mind paying it, but inform me before I finally book and pay. I don't like such surprises after payment has already been made. It's inconvenient and extra bank charges. State all expenses clearly on the website so you know exactly what the total costs will be.
See stars.
Very beautiful, quiet and peace.
Heerlik geslaap. Vriendelike gasvrou en gasheer. Daar is wel geen badkamerdeur nie en dit het dit taamlik ongemaklik gemaak om die toilette te gebruik.
