260 guests' feedbackQuiet and safe environment.
I enjoyed the stay, felt welcome.
It was a great place.
It was nice and peaceful, a safe location. I forgot my 2 weaves and they kept it for me. Reliable.
Yes. It was very nice.
Had a great visit and stay.
Was just a quick overnight stay but was more than happy with everything.
It was only for one night, but the reception was friendly and the place very tidy.
It was beautiful, clean, and the nicest owners.
Very nice to relax in cool cottage and cool off in splash pool. Friendly owner and helpful and quiet environment.
Wonderful stay, excellent place to stay with children's entertainment.
Very friendly service, everything was nice, neat and clean. Would definitely recommend it.
Perfect for a stay over. No cooking facilities are available if self-catering is required, besides a microwave, but for a short stay, the place worked very well.
Cottage 1 is not fully self-catering as offered in the ad, no cooking device! At first night, no hot water. We had to ask for it the next morning. It should have been checked before our arrival. Both issues were adequately addressed by the host.
We only traveled through for 1 day, and we were able to rest, stretch our legs. The area is quiet, everything is clean and tidy. Thank you very much .
Nice stay. Hot water sometimes a problem. Shower head needs to be replaced.
We had a wonderful stay, thank you very much!
Definitely had a nice stay.
We enjoyed a pleasant stay. Very friendly reception. Neat accommodation. Secure parking.
Unfortunately, there was uncertainty about my reservation and I had to provide proof of the reservation on the 2nd morning. It was unpleasant to have to do that.
For overnight it is value for money.
Nice stay, nice people.
The room has the basics of what one needs for an overnight stop. There is only a microwave, so it's good for reheating food, but there's no option to boil or fry an egg, for example. Felt safe on the property.
Excellent and perfect.
We enjoyed our stay very much. All nice and clean. No coffee or tea and very little sugar. Luckily we took our own with us. Toilet paper was not enough.
The urinal fragrance in the room was overpowering, and there were no windows to open. I struggled a little to breathe.
The fleas ate me alive during the time we stayed there. I asked them to please put Doom Fogger in the rooms but they didn't want to. I did it myself and it helped a little but didn't solve the flea problem. As a result, we checked out early after booking another place to stay. They refused to refund me for the 3 nights we did not stay there. Less of a problem, but still an irritation, is the WiFi that appears to be picked up from the main house. As a result, we had WiFi in the lounge, which is closest to the main house, but not the bedrooms or kitchen. There were sugar and tea in the kitchen but the coffee jar was empty and no milk in the fridge.
Not happy with the accommodation.
Yes, it was ok.
Pictures are not what you get. The 2-bedroom unit had a very mouldy smell. The ceiling looks like it was burned; light not properly connected, cracks in the shower with very poor ventilation. I will not be staying there again. They advertise white bedding and you get grey sheets.
Very neat, value for money. Safe environment.
Warm, cosy and just perfect especially with a young child/children.
We were kindly received by the owner. The apartment was neat, clean and well equipped. There is even an air conditioning system! There are outside seating facilities with a mobile braai.
Overnight stay en route to Langebaan.
Quiet environment, safe area and parking. Will stay there again.
Nice stay. Good service.
Perfect place and nice.
Friendly welcome. Will visit the cottage again in the future should we pass through Kimberley again.
Would recommend anytime. Owner is very helpful. Place very neat and clean. We slept well and had a nice hot shower. Will spend the night there again if I have to pass by.
Nice and quiet and very friendly people. Nice outside yard and comfortable resting place.
The extra blankets were very welcome as the cement floors and walls are very cold. Missed the welcome coffee/tea.
Affordable and spacious.
We were very kindly received by the owner. Place was very clean and tidy and there is everything you need for an overnight stay. Can definitely recommend it.
It had been a very large and spacious room.
We had a lovely stay in The Cottage. The owners are really helpful and friendly. Apartment is very comfortable and well equipped.
Owners vriendelijk helpful, delightful outside. Braai was also present.
The unit was very neat. It met my needs perfectly for a night's stay.
Very friendly and warm people.
We had a great time relaxing after a long journey. The place is neat and has everything one needs. It's close to the Groot Gat and shops to eat if you don't feel like cooking. Thank you for kind service.
Place was neat and clean. Well equipped with everything one needs. The pet bunny that kept us company was a bonus.
Friendly, home-feeling reception. We fell in love with Pudding.
Unfortunately there was not a TV as advertised and we had to watch the show we wanted to watch on our cell phone.
Great stay, friendly staff, the apartment we stayed in was perfect, exactly more than expected, thanks to The Cottage, would advise any family to make use of this.
Own light for unforeseen load shedding can help. Gas geyser ensures that there is always hot water.
We had a nice calm place to rest after a long drive from the vacation home.
Love everything, beautiful, clean and comfortable with everything that we needed for the weekend.
Everything that was there was neat and will use it again if we go to the Cape.
Our room was spacious, very clean and tidy, everything you need is there. I could only suggest that there be hanging space for towels.
The place was very clean and spacious. The people were friendly. No TV.
Everything was in order and neat. The gas in one room wasnt put on resulting in no hot water at first. Small things could be improved to make the stay more enjoyable (providing a French press, and some rechargeable lights for load shedding).
It is comfortable and tidy and I was satisfied with the stay. Thank you very much.
Cell phone number we had before check-in did not work.
Was in Kimberley for doctors, the accommodation was fine for our overnight needs. Will also work very well for people who travel further afield.
We must have waited in the street for about ten to fifteen minutes for the owner to come home from work and open the premises. Although self catering, there was no coffee, tea, milk or sugar. At all previous self-catering places where we have stayed, it was available.
Easily found and centrally located. Was delayed with travel program and then 19h00 arrived after 936 km. Told owner we would arrive later. Please put some ice buckets in the deep freeze, then had to drive to town first to get ice for a drink. On enquiry, I had to learn that they don't provide ice (not expecting a bag) and was then told that it's self-catering and they don't provide it, I just have to go and buy it in town. After we had unpacked and then it was already 19h45 and then just went to buy at a gas station.
Nice place, very affordable. Would recommend anytime.
The hosts were not welcoming or friendly.
Didn't get the cottage we paid for. Does not meet our standard. Although we are very lenient.
It's very disappointing to arrive at a place that doesn't look like the pictures. I went to look at room 1's pictures again and how the place looks is not the same. I prefer a place with white bedding, because then you know it's clean. Bedding had a smell too. I was really nauseous.
The splash pool was a pleasant surprise in the December heat.
Host was very helpful and friendly. Amenities good and parking safe.
Spacious unit with all the amenities, unfortunately, shower and bath were awkward as there are steps up to them. The cellphone number given to us on confirmation was incorrect, so it was difficult to get into the premises on arrival. Great outdoor area where we enjoyed our braai in the evening.
I was very happy with your hospitality, thank you very much. Would not mind to book there every time I am around.
Excellent location and value for money. Perfect stop over from Cape Town to Pretoria.
Friendly reception, place was neat. Will stay there again.
Very nice and comfortable with small children, safe and quiet.
Clean, safe and good value for money.
Very quiet and peaceful, very safe and tidy.
Would definitely stay there again - DStv would be an option for sport (rugby). Overall very friendly hosts and very comfortable!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Cottage.
Spacious unit, friendly owner and safe environment.
Thank you for your hospitality. Will certainly stay here again.
We were on our way home from Augrabies. Just a few items in the kitchen to make things more convenient. Double plug so kettle and microwave can work at the same time. Cordless kettle, so that cups and mugs do not have to be taken to existing cordless kettle. Plastic cup to fill kettle, kettle does not fit kitchen sink taps.
Was pleasantly surprised with the size of the place and it had been a pleasant experience. Had a great stay.
Value for money, spacious, private and very nice gelby in this gem.
The Cottage is a great place, and preferred choice when I'm in the Kimberley area for business.
Well located for the main parts of Kimberley.
Overnight was a good idea at The Cottage.
Everything was nice, I loved the backyard area for braais and fires. There's a bunny that is fun to pet and the host was great. If I had to point out something, there could be more than one bathroom for a cottage that sleeps 5 and the toilet has no window which can make a bit stuffy. Other than that everything was perfect.
Peaceful and quiet environment to rest in after a long journey and to be ready for the next long shift.
Was impressed with the emergency bulbs that come on by themselves during load shedding.
Very nice stay. Was in the hospital and they offered to pick me up if I couldn't drive myself. I call it going out of your way for a client. Many thanks to The Cottage - Hadison Park.
I was there for my husband's illness, I had a wonderful stay. Near hospital, near mall, everything so nice. Being in hospital together and being able to help my husband with assistance was an experience for me. Everything was just perfect.
Just be careful. There are 2 places where tall or broad shouldered people may bump themselves.
We were kindly received in the afternoon. Neat garden with a tame bunny for the children to play with. Our room was very neat and modern. All fixtures worked. All I missed was a bar of soap for the shower, but otherwise I was very satisfied!
Was very nice and comfortable. WiFi signal very strong. Very neat place.
It's the second time we've stayed here, very well furnished and comfortable.
There is no hot water, only lukewarm water with very low pressure so showering is uncomfortable. Water in bath is already cold by the time enough has been poured in. The beds' mattresses will need replacing, but are ok for a night's rest. The WiFi is excellent.
Well located and comfortable.
Basic overnight facilities.
Affordable for business stays.
Unfortunately I can't recommend anyone to stay here - we definitely won't be back! And photos can be very deceiving. Cleanliness: I can give credit that the unit was clean. Parking: I had to park next to a large bus with barely enough space to pass between the wall and the kombi. The owner had to move the garden pot away so that I could pass. Electric blankets: when I asked if there were electric blankets here, the owner indicated that it is self-catering and that people steal the electric blankets, so they don't provide them. The single duvets are so thin that I had to throw the extra double duvet over the bed for adequate warmth. Meals: I inquired in advance via WhatsApp about the meals that can be ordered. My query has been ignored. Microwave oven: I made sure in advance that there was a microwave oven - mercifully we decided not to heat the meal we had planned because the microwave oven was not working - I couldn't even heat a hot bag in the cold - after 2 minutes he was still cold. Electricity: The power trips when the 2 heaters in the room and the boiler are equal. The bedside lights on the bedside table don't even have space where they can be plugged in. Luckily we had a multiplug or we wouldn't have been able to charge our cell phones. Bathroom: The shower is a freezing cold cement shower - unfinished. I was the only person (of 3) who showered that night and the water was freezing cold (and it's winter). The next morning the other 2 persons also had a cold shower. On the shelf is an old, half-used bottle of shower soap.
Value for money, safe.
The room I stayed in has no ventilation (windows), bathroom has no door and blinds in front of window in sort are totally broken, and privacy when using sort and bathroom is a big challenge. Owner was informed that our room was found dirty with cobwebs and dirty cutlery. Then had to sanitize it on our own. He mentioned that he would attend to it, but for the four days the towels were only changed once and room cleaning (cobwebs) was still there. Wow.
Everything was nice, thank you very much.
We were not considered at all with load shedding. No information and no schedule to warn in advance. As if the drivers just shrugged when the power went out Saturday morning with coffee, shower, breakfast. One would think they would at least give advance notice. Power tripped twice (not from load shedding) and driver had to go into adjoining cottage twice to start. Had to wait. Very cold space: "unfortunately we don't have a heater". There is no hanging space or closets! Not even a wall hook. Had to put coats on bed and then floor to go to sleep. No additional blankets: "if you still need them, we will bring them from the main house". The so-called modern floor finish of epoxy cement was unapproachably cold, unhomely, unpleasant and dirty looking. You wanted to lift your feet off the floor all the time. The fees per night's stay were fair and not overwhelmingly expensive, but we left with the feeling that the managers only minimally looked after us and really didn't care about customer service. This is an honest opinion and we cannot give a different report.
The pics were deceiving, beds were not comfortable, shower was not pleasant to small, light switches were confusing would not recommend.
Thank you very much. Lovely and comfortable place to sleep over for the terribly long journey. Will definitely visit there again.
Very cute place.
Everyone is very friendly. Quiet and peaceful environment. Nice self-catering unit with everything available that you would need during a visit.
Friendly service.
The Cottage had everything we needed, and the pet bunny was too cute.
See stars.
Nice place to spend the night or go yourself for more than a weekend. Very neat. Nice braai area and more than one needs.
Enjoyed our stay. Owners very friendly and helpful.
Peaceful stay and it's clean.
Very peaceful and comfortable, met all our requirements.
Value for money. Can't make a mistake.
Everyone is very friendly and hospitable. Almost felt as if we had arrived at our home. We will definitely stay at The Cottage again. It's people people. Thank you very much.
We really enjoyed our stay in the neat, clean cottage. Well equipped and would recommend.
We were there for near hospital, they assisted us with purchases, offered more than expected. Many thanks to Marna for her effort and Mrs. baked for dinner. Our grief was heavy, but will not forget your help.
It was a restful stay place big enough for the family.
Very pleasant place, clean and tidy.
We were in Kimberley to visit a friend in the hospital, and the hospital was within walking distance through a very safe neighbourhood. There was also a good mall en-route and fast WiFi at the cottage. All we could possibly need.
I had a wonderful stay at the Cottage and had no complaints about the place. It was very nice and neat and I was well welcomed.
A good place for an evening stopover.
Owner was very friendly and helpful.
Neat, big space for a fair price.
Parking can be a problem. Vehicles must park behind each other. We have a small car and were able to park next to the other guests' vehicle, but almost in the back door of the house. May be inconvenient for owner.
Left over on the way to vacation.
The shower looked like it had just been built and needed finishing touches and more light. Outside light bothered through the night. Light switches were something to work out which light turned on and off where.
The cottage offers good accommodation for a family. The facilities are clean and tidy.
Was in small apartment where there were 2 single beds. Toilet seat broken, no hot water, no privacy between room and toilet. Parking problem if you are in front then the back car has to pull out so you can get out.
Was away for a weekend for a wedding. Nice reception at guest house, safe.
The hosts were helpful but we will not be back. Place is cheaply thrown together.
We were not welcomed. The TV did not work. Water was not very hot. I enjoyed the rabbit in the garden.
Only stayed one night.
Will stay there again.
Above expectations for the price and area! We had a wonderful rest! There was everything needed and more! Thank you very much.
Had a great stay and would definitely recommend it. Enjoyed it a lot.
I stayed there for a week, the place was very comfortable and well equipped. The owners are very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
Well located, clean and friendly hosts.
Place is neat and clean. Quality bedding. Good decor. Maybe just invest a little more in accessories for load shedding.
This place is awesome. I loved everything about it. Will definitely go back again and with my family.
It was wonderful.
Everything you need is in the apartment. We had a very nice stay. It is very neat. At very short notice they moved our dates forward.
This place was so comfortable. Host great. Nice yard to braai and relax. Will go back and recommend to others.
A perfect place for overnight or even longer. The cottage is furnished with everything you need. It's nice and clean and close to the Pick 'n Pay center to quickly find and make something for dinner. I simply bought good things for road food and made them myself for the next day. Very comfortable with children.
Very close to shopping centers and the Great Hole of Kimberley.
Very neat and comfortable accommodation. Would definitely recommend the place. The fridge didn't work, but the owner made an alternative plan for us.
No further feedback.
Sleeps 2 met requirements. In full summer it will help to have air cooling.
Owners are friendly and helpful. Very peaceful and relaxing and clean. Nice place to relax and rest.
Suitable for overnight stay.
Lovely private, neat, clean cottage.
The place is clean well taken care of. It's just that I was not happy with the small room that was allocated and the fact that the agent was not returning any of our calls to fix the matter.
Thank you for a lovely sleepover. The spacious living room is a big plus, especially if you have to stay at home longer. The quiet area ensures a good night's rest. Ideal for people with children.
I can't arrive within the allotted time and wait for 20-30 mins for the owners to come back to open for me. Unacceptable. Otherwise, a great stay! Clean up dead cockroaches and dust up a bit beforehand though.
Beautifully and neatly furnished. It's very clean and tidy and a plus is for sure the air conditioner that is available. Secure parking and a peaceful environment contribute to a great night's sleep.
Quick sleepover for the evening. Had everything we needed. Received kindly and shown where everything is. Very nice place.
Toilet seat broken. Rain in on the one bed.
Hospitable and value for money.
Die gasheer is baie vriendelik, die geriewe is puik en die kothuis is goed onderhou en skoon.
Modern furnishings provided a comfortable stay in a quiet neighbourhood. It was a great stop-over to spend a night on our way home from the coast.
Was an awesome place to spend the night.
Plekkie is very well furnished, it has everything you need, it was clean and tidy when we arrived. We were welcomed by the owner, he was also very helpful where we needed help. The Cottage is situated in a very quiet decent area, and there is secure parking behind steel gates. We had a great time there, there is also a fantastic braai area for a nice visit.
We had a wonderful overnight stay. Secure parking. The place is beautiful and very neat. Nice big shower and bath. I will definitely book with The Cottage again in the future.
Beautiful, neat and safe. Friendly service and close to everything. Would love to go back there.
Value for money, neat house, owner friendly and helpful, safe parking, private. Great stay.
Ideal for friends traveling together.
Very satisfied, value for money.
We had a great stay at The Cottage - Hadison Park. Because of the fact that Kimberley has such a hot climate, I would recommend that an air conditioner be installed. Otherwise nice.
Very nice stay. Place is neat and clean, everything you need was there. Nicely done and comfortable.
Very spacious, tidy and value for money.
We had a great stay and the owners went out of their way to accommodate us. Can definitely recommend it.
Everything one needs.
A great little resting place that has everything you need.
Ideal for travelers who want to stay overnight.
The lounge and kitchen were spacious and all rooms were clean. Complaints: Struggling to find destination. Simon / Simons Road / street. Shower's result is slow, causing water to accumulate at your feet! DStv didn't work.
The cottage was large enough to easily accommodate 4 adults, with nice decor and linens. The kitchen however was not clean, and all the dishes and cutlery had to be washed before use. Our host was really great, and the place was secure.
Definitely short of new beds, we only had cold water even after they came to check. The shower is only for people who are 1.7 m tall, otherwise you cannot fit under the roof. Kitchen has dangerous corner cupboard right where you walk in which almost hit my husband in the eye. Finishes in the bathroom in particular are not finished, raw cement etc. The doors and walls could be cleaned a little better, especially on corners and near tiles in the bathroom. It ruins the place.
Hadison Park accommodation is an apartment on a stand-alone plot and you don't have to worry about noisy people on the same premises. The apartment is beautiful and all necessities are available. Thanks for the availability of extra blankets in the cupboards for a cold Kimberley. On our trip you were the only accommodation where there were extra blankets available, at our other accommodation we had to ask for blankets. Will not stay anywhere else if we travel through Kimberley again.
Almost a complete house to ourselves.
What a neat place! It's clean, comfortable and has everything you need and more!
Many reviews complained about many things. It's not a holiday resort, it's not a 5-star hotel, but it's a lovely place to stay with everything you need.
Very friendly reception and slept warmly. I will definitely recommend The Cottage.
We were very surprised by the extremely neat place. The reception was very friendly. One feels very private, the porch area is completely away from the big house. We are definitely going to go again and the battle just to finish off everything.
See stars.
Everything was beautiful and clean.
Had a great stay. Quiet and safe area.
Very peaceful place, neat and comfortable.
It is a single unit for only one group behind a residential home. The renovations on the shower was not finished. Other than that it is comfortable accommodation with a very friendly owner.
The Cottage is a neat guest house. It satisfies all basic needs. The only thing I would changes is to have fresh milk in the fridge for people how do not like powdered milk. The people are friendly, the place is lovely and modern is there is enough warm bedding and kitchenware.
Enjoyed our stay. Quiet area and close to Big Hole.
Everything you need for affordable accommodation. If you'd like to be critical, you'll have to pay more. Clean, neat and value for money. Will go back.
Die badkamerpype is nie reg gekoppel nie. Nadat ons gebad het, het al die water uit die stort op die badkamervloer en kombuisvloer geloop. As ek my geld kon terugkry, sou ek dit graag wou doen. Dit was belaglik om na 8 ure se ry en bietjie na die gat in Kimberly te gaan kyk en dan terug te kom om 'n lekker bad te vat en dan in stink water te staan en droogmaak.
They need to learn what is customer service. There's huge difference between free accommodation and paid accommodation, they are treating the guests as if they had no other options and one must just settle for what they are offering. The place is so not clean, old furniture and services is not there at all.
Construction not yet completed. Not at all practically furnished. Not enough crockery and linen. Bath faucet not working. Boiler not working. Power plugs don't work. Didn't feel welcome at all.
Thank you very much, it was so refreshing to be able to spend the night in such a neat and clean place after a 6 hour drive on the road. Thanks again, really much appreciated.
Beautiful place with plenty of space and clean.
Very comfortable and clean. Friendly service and very helpful.
We had a great stay over our weekend, close to all amenities for when we ran out of stuff. Well equipped kitchen and great outdoor area. The owners looked after us well although not constantly in our face. Thanks for a great stay.
We traveled from Bloemfontein to Kimberley for a school performance and decided to stay at The Cottage. We had a wonderful stay. We were kindly received, the unit is safe, clean, comfortable and very beautiful. The best thing was to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee after a long, busy day in the peaceful garden with beautiful trees. Would love to recommend it to everyone.
We were well received and could rest wonderfully.
The cottage is quaintest place we've ever stayed. So much value for money. I'd just recommend getting full DStv, not much to do for the kids. Otherwise, perfect accommodation. Thanks for your hospitality!
'The cottage' was everything we needed and more. People were very friendly. In a very safe and neat suburb which is only about 2 km from 'the big hole' so very convenient. Spur and shopping centres were very close as well. So all in all the best location one could wish for. As for the actual establishment, it was neat, clean and very nice. Very warm duvets - extra blankets if needed - comfy pillows with wall heaters in each room. Nicely furnished and we will most definitely return again if we ever have to stop by in and visit Kimberley. Were were very pleasantly surprised and thank you for the two days we spent with you.
Friendly reception. Everything just as we wanted. Thank you!
We slept very well and warm. It's such a beautiful place and very spacious. I will definitely use the place again!
Cottage needs better mattresses and pillows. Kitchen could be better equipped for self-catering customers.
Clean, neat and easily accessible. Loved the decor and attention to detail. Secure parking, and convenient location.
Will go there again.
Good beds.
The bursting of a water pipe in Kimberley initially put a damper on our visit until the owners of the place went out of their way to make everything as pleasant as possible for us. At the end of the day it was a particularly pleasant stay.
But we were disappointed that there was a DStv decoder but no DStv access. The owner simply said "sorry" when I wanted to know what's up with it. I reckon DStv is a general requirement for accommodation.
The place has a lot of potential, especially because there are not many affordable self-catering units for families in Kimberley. Unfortunately, they may have to look at a few things: the geyser that is only turned on when guests arrive is a no-go! The water takes at least an hour plus to get warm enough and if you come in late you may have a very late bath/shower. The step by the bath is hopelessly too high for an elderly person and even for us too. Water pressure to bath faucet very weak and there is a very limited DStv package. Furthermore, we were received very kindly and the decor is very nice. A few changes as recommended will make the place very popular.
We did not enjoy our stay.
Place is clean, but not well finished or planned - can clearly see it was an "after thought". Switches are in the wrong places, no ventilation in the kitchen, or bathroom.
We had such a nice stay and there was enough space for us, the children and grandparents. Everything was very neat and clean.
The Cottage was very neat and beautiful. Beds are comfortable and comfortable. The interior is very nice and there is plenty of storage space. It is close to most attractions and centers. Also experienced it as very safe. Can definitely recommend as an overnight stop, and even a few days stay. The only advice is that guests (who are light sleepers) preferably bring earplugs - the neighbour's dog barks non-stop throughout the night and by 04:00 his rooster starts crowing! This was the only annoyance of our stay.
We had a great stay at The Cottage. We are a family of five and there was plenty of space for everyone. The Cottage is very nice and tidy.
It is a beautiful place. The master bedroom does not have a door that can close. Bathroom lacks hooks for robe and towels. Living room curtains beautiful, but not private. Friendly people and everything else very pleasant.
Well equipped, tidy and clean.
The venue exceeded my expectations. The owners were friendly and very accommodating. I am looking forward to use it again when I travel to Kimberley next time.
Both the host and wife are very friendly. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and clean. But the cookie soap in the bathroom was full of hair (we don't use previous guests' soap). When I opened the one window in the one bedroom, I was standing with the clip in my hand (it's good to check beforehand if everything is in working order). We were requested to turn off the hot water device at night and turn it on again in the morning. We agreed, but really guests should not be asked to do such a thing. Furthermore, the dishwashing liquid was hopelessly short for the time we booked. (Another case of something not being pre-checked.) We wanted to mention these things to the people, but didn't see them again after check-in.
The cottage is nice and roomy, but the service was poor in that there was no one to meet us - had to phone twice. It hadn't been properly cleaned and had a high water grease ring around the kitchen sink. We had to ask for more towels - only two for 5 guests, and for more toilet paper. Small things that make a big difference to your stay. It should also be noted that there are no card facilities, so cash payment is necessary. On the positive side: lots of hot water and a lovely bathroom.
We couldn't find the guest house due to the GPS not showing the location, and there are no street names in Kimberley. We called the guest house twice for help where the phone was not answered. After a while the guest house called me back and they came to pick me up. The place was neat, but I was just upset that they are pet friendly, but dogs are not allowed in the house. It is also bad that there is no shower. The hand soap was empty and there was no small shampoo or soap. The TV could only pick up SABC channels which I feel for the amount I paid there should have been at least 1 DStv channel and the SABC channels were so bad I could only watch one channel. On a positive note, the place was nice and very tidy and I liked the courtyard which was partitioned off for the animals.
Very nicely furnished and well equipped. Comfortable and all that is needed. Great.
Our stay was very pleasant and we would definitely recommend it.
Please see the stars.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay as it was convenient to the place we had to be. The host was very welcoming and very polite.
See the stars.
These are ideal overnight facilities. The owners are friendly, helpful and very accommodating. The unit has everything needed and is well located in terms of shops and the attractions.
Normal shower instead of one in bath would have been good. Also missed hair dryer. Otherwise absolutely no complaints and would definitely stay there again.
Very neat, lots of space. It's well equipped and private. Will definitely stay there again.
The fans help, but air conditioning is really essential for Kimberley's summers. The kitchen needs some attention. The place is really neat, clean and spacious. Parking is safe.
The Cottage is spacious, tidy and safe, but the small television high up on a cupboard did not work so well for older people who wear glasses.
Would definitely recommend it.
The only "strange" thing was that the toilet and bath exited from the kitchen.
There was no one home when we arrived. The step inside the unit is very dangerous (to trip/fall), they should maybe make it slanted instead, like for wheelchairs. The bathtub is also uncomfortable, and not at all user-friendly, especially for older people. There was no coffee that we could find. Otherwise it was pleasant.
Everything is very nice and tidy in the cottage. We were able to check in a little earlier to drop off luggage. Would recommend the cottage but also recommend installing an electric gate as indicated on the web page.
We were disappointed with the accommodation. Dark, cold bedrooms, uncomfortable beds, no carpets or rugs, safety an issue as plugs positioned right above the bed (above your head as there are no headboards), bath difficult to get into, no shower. Doesn't appear to be a registered establishment as no signs anywhere (no name boards or anything). Good for the pets as there is an enclosed garden out the back. Had to compromise safety and comfort for a pet friendly option.
The Cottage - Hadison Park was very clean, spacious and cool in the Kimberley heat.
Clean and spacious! No shower, but the corner bath makes up for that (the water just drains in a bit slowly). For the rest, I can only testify to hospitality and excellent value for money. I would recommend any traveler to stay here. The rooms are practical and really suitable for a family with up to 3 children. It is more of a modern apartment than just a room. I would book there again anytime.
Just what we needed for one night's sleepover! It was a spacious cottage where 5 people could move around with ease. It has a nicely equipped kitchenette with oven and stove that work as well as a microwave oven. The cottage therefore also has a lovely demarcated backyard with a drum grill and lawn for children to play on. Would recommend the stay to anyone.
The Cottage is very comfortable, especially when you are a family with kids. It is located in a very nice and safe area. Great hospitality.
We suggest that fans should be purchased as Kimberley can get extremely hot. Furthermore, we suggest that the second bedroom should get a door (just a sliding door is perfectly fine). It will also work better if the coffee and tea are stored in airtight containers. I do have to say the furniture and cleanliness are great. A further plus was the lovely courtyard and the fact that a spreader was installed to cool the place down nicely.
Very nice and neat.
The fact that there is no remote control on the gate makes it restrictive and also unsafe when you arrive late and have to get out to unlock the gate.
