193 guests' feedbackWas our second time at Schilbach House. The place is still worth the money.
I slept very well. Quality bed and bedding. Shower drain was just blocked and I brought it to his attention.
Neat and clean and friendly.
Lovely accommodation. WiFi doesn't connect in the room, only in the outside kitchen area.
Highly recommended, beautiful place.
Pleasant, clean and peaceful.
We were a family gathering for a long weekend. The house was perfectly big enough for us. The braai area and pool was a winner! The kitchen lacks some things to make good food, but we made a plan.
Very nice rest and relax, everything you need, host was friendly.
Very peaceful, relaxing and pleasant. When there's load shedding, there is also no running water.
Cute cozy place. Could possibly put up a name sign to make the place easier to find.
The stay was very cosy, and the host was welcoming and friendly.
Pleasant stay after a long day of attending the MBA class.
Good enough to stay privately. Basic needs taken care.
Simon was very friendly, and everything we needed was available. I feel the towels could be replaced, and the oven needs a good scrub. In spite of the load shedding which impacted on the availability of water, we had a good time.
Very small room, with very outdated rugs, and the shower feels moulded and dark. The house from the outside looks very dirty, dusty and very neglected.
I agree. Negative: was a little disappointed in the room. Had deja-vu moment with our stay long back in Montmartre, Paris. Room smaller than expected, closet only a rail, no shelf, no place to hang towels in bathroom, no hand wash towel, entire bathroom floor gets wet when you take a shower, no toilet top cover, Wifi is non-existent. Furthermore, the address was wrong and we had to search back and forth. Apparently there are 2 White Giraffe places in Paris, one White Giraffe River Cottage and then the one where we were, far from the river. The address is on Fick Street near the river, we were on h/v West and Schlibach Street, very far from the river. No one bothered to let people know that the address is wrong and it creates a false illusion of where the accommodation is. It's something that needs to be corrected. The stepping stones must be relaid again because they are loose and unsafe, a tripping hazard. Positive: everything was nice and clean. Simon received us kindly. The stoepie is nice to visit and we had a good time "chilling" there. Bedding and towels were good. The place is value for R600/night, but again just needs some TLC. Bed slept well and despite the long "negative" list, had a good time there.
No picture of the bathroom.
There are no signs outside so you know you are in the right place. There was no toilet paper. On the same premises, karaoke was held in the evening until after midnight. No one can rest when you have driven a long way with that noise. The unit's paint peeling off, the shower pushes water all over the floor to in front of the sink. The bucket in which the soap comes is full of old water and no hole to let the shower water run out. It takes three flushes to flush a piece of toilet paper (which we had to ask for).
Positive: Simon lent me a hairdryer. Negative: The bathroom toilet does not flush. No toilet brush or air freshener. There is no place to hang a towel when you get out of the shower. Shower spills wet all over the floor with no place to put anything down. No hand soap at sink. Faucet sprays in all directions and hot and cold are swapped. Bedroom is very small. Two people will have a hard time fitting in there. Kitchen on the stoep looks cute, but everything is dirty when the wind stirs. WiFi is pathetic. Locks have difficulty opening and closing. I slept there for five nights for a congress, and Simon never once came to inquire if everything was alright. The access gate is difficult and heavy to open and close. With a little effort he could improve the place, but I wouldn't like to stay there again.
No, would not recommend at all.
The garden apartment is very comfortable and very well equipped for 2 people. We really enjoyed our stay and barbecued every night. It is close to the high street and all the shops. We will definitely go again.
Very nice, clean and peaceful with water flowing in the garden. Hot water even if there is loadshedding. Nice to put coffee around the stoep and drink in the morning with the spring water flowing and birds chirping.
Had a great time, is a little different with the outdoor kitchen and private garden.
Simon was very helpful, very good host. Went out of his way to make us comfortable. OS Restaurant delivered our food to the guest house. Exceptional food and service.
Clean and spacious als worked.
Stunning place with beautiful gardens. Host is very friendly and helpful even with loadshedding. Will definitely visit again. Would suggest they change the closet to have shelves as well as hanging space for clothes. Currently just hanging space.
Yes, the room is very small.
The place needs a dustbin for rubbish and the toilet seat needs to be replaced, it kept falling on me.
The little garden is a plus.
Was very calm. Centrally located.
Please look in brown cabinet on porch. Horse bees nested there.
Place was neat and clean, garden room is located to one side with privacy. Tried to make Paris' water problem as convenient as possible.
A bit far from attractions. Large, spacious house.
Proper renovations. Shower flooring. Use lizards repellent. Braai area not up to scratch.
No WiFi, room lacks paint, door scuffed on ground, closet door is loose, tap in bathroom loose.
Very quiet, neat room with open kitchen, everything you need is there neat and clean.
If u want a place to relax, go to white Giraffe, the host welcomes you with humour, thanks for your hospitality Simon.
Very nice place. Quiet and clean. Host was very friendly and helpful.
Blissful, peaceful and lovely.
Our host was very helpful and our little private garden area was lovely. I would suggest having a dustbin in the kitchen area.
The house is wonderfully spacious with everything you will need. All that happened was the advertisement showed the rooms had TVs, but upon arrival the owner explained to us that there were no more TVs in the rooms. I would also suggest maybe putting some multi-adapters in the rooms for recharging your phone or using your computer.
We really enjoyed our stay, we were very secluded and we enjoyed being separate from the main house, the outdoor kitchen can get chilly at night and would be ideal if it could be closed with the use of blinds to allow some warmth whilst either cooking or eating.
Simon received us with kindness and took us through the house, it was neat and clean. I would use The White Giraffe again anytime and recommend to people.
So quiet sound of water and birds so peaceful.
The place is unique and a nice relaxed atmosphere!
Sorry about load shedding.
People staying in garden apartments are not allowed to use the guest house's swimming pool, but otherwise it was pleasant.
The garden unit is clean and tidy. The outdoor kitchen is unique. Bed linen and towels are clean, but take your own soap and shampoo - they are not provided. Air conditioning would have been a bonus, but at least the roof fan helps.
Only problem was fitted sheets on the bed that didn't fit em took off all the time while sleeping. Maybe new bedding. WiFi reception is very bad and should not be advertised.
White Giraffe was very comfortable - the garden is very beautiful and it's very private. Would say a few minor things bothered - no hand soap, shampoo or extra blankets available and the heater and WiFi didn't work (would have been a crisis for anyone). Otherwise it's a comfortable place to stay.
Perfect room for a quick sleepover and very clean.
Accommodation needs to be cleaned. No soap or handtowel next to basin in bathroom. Dishcloths filthy. Room was dirty. Found old buns in microwave. Bedlamp has a short. Kitchen cupboard hinges broken. Ceiling fan not working.
Until I got charged for wearing sun protection in the pool. Please note that you are not allowed to wear sun protection in this pool because it messes with the water and you get charged a R250 breakage fee for that. Thank you.
It is very neat and safe, would highly recommend it.
The White Giraffe is a perfect place for any type of getaway, if its a just a weekend or longer, it makes you feel at home.
My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. We're going to visit the place soon. The place was nothing short of the best. It's clean and as for the owner his the best (Simon).
Everthing was just perfect!
Everything was clean and tidy with all possible amenities. Parking was just a bit difficult.
Beautiful decor and clean rooms.
We were in Parys for the weekend, preparing for the a friend's son's wedding on the Saturday. The property is spacious, kitchen well equipped, bathrooms clean, location close to wedding venue. Perfect for our purpose. Thank you Simon!
The owner was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone just looking for peace and quiet.
I will definitely be back when time allows.
Host Simon is very helpful. The atmosphere there of the place is small, but awesome. Just what one wants for total privacy and tranquility.
The White Giraffe was the perfect home for us as a family. Enough space for the children to play, nice and quiet area, but close enough to everything needed. Very neat and clean and can recommend it to anyone.
The accommodation was comfortable, tidy and surprisingly large. The pictures of the place are already impressive, but we were still surprised by how big it is. The owners are pleasant, but not terribly chatty. Prepare questions about WiFi etc. already before otherwise you will call them constantly (they are easy to get hold of and helpful). Just take two-point plugs or multi-point plugs together, some of the rooms' power points are difficult to use conveniently.
Very clean. Was a home away from home. Thank you Simon.
We were 2 families with small children who stayed at White Giraffe for the weekend. We will definitely return!! There are small things here and there that need attention, but overall a very good stay!
I would like to mention that the shower was not a pleasant experience. The shower head is not short person friendly.
The stay was comfortable and the room itself was neat.
Sink leaked, but otherwise lovely.
Negative: No place to hang clothes or towels at shower, have to put clothes on ground and the lowest toilet south of the Sahara. House safe, but parking felt uneasy.
The place was clean, neat and very quaint. Great for a short stopover with a partner. Peaceful and enjoyable.
The gas stove out of order, could not make any coffee. Small parking for a large car. Shower spills all over the bathroom floor.
Very nice garden and clean pool too. Very neat accommodation. Will definitely use the accommodation again.
Really feels like your home away from your home.
The White Giraffe is an exceptionally pleasant place to call home base while exploring the scenic town of Parys. Our host was also very accommodating.
The White Giraffe is a nicely appointed house with plenty of space - so a nice house for a group that wants to stay together. The garden is neat and the swimming pool is a big bonus to the house. The kitchen is also nicely furnished, although the stove and oven no longer work so well. The location is perfect, the neighborhood is quiet with the village and all the shops only a few minutes drive away. On our arrival, the reception was friendly and welcoming, but I have to say, on our last day, the maid was already in the house before we got up. We of course appreciate her service, it just felt a bit like we were being rushed (obviously it was just after 8 and check-out time is 10 o'clock). I say it felt that way, because we felt a bit in her way as we quickly wanted to have our last breakfast and because she started cleaning all the rooms even before our bags were out. But she was terribly kind and lovely, and really just someone who wants to do her job well. All and all it was a lovely place to stay, a home away from home for sure!
We had fun shopping, walking, eating and visiting. The house was nice and spacious, clean, safe and equipped
Nobody bothered us. We had a nice quiet time and played music. I will definitely book the place again. All wrong was that there are no lights in the room or bedside lamps. The roof fan's light didn't work either and a new grill is needed for the braai. Other than that, everything was nice.
We had a great time thank you, accommodation is beautiful and spacious. Maybe a little light outside if you walk around to the Garden Cottage. Will definitely stay there again.
The only negative was some noisy guests on the Sat afternoon.
The outside kitchen and patio was lovely, however the room was very cramped and the bathroom tiny. The shower was unpleasant.
Place is safe and just right for an overnight stay and a nice braai.
Kitchen, some rooms, carpets and linen need serious deep cleaning. Comfortable braai area, but grills not clean.
Nice, quiet and spacious house - close proximity to city center a bonus. Will surely visit again.
Relatively cute, could make a few things better.
The guesthouse is beautiful. I was there for a birthday party and I enjoyed it because my husband and I could get in and out of the guest house as we wanted without any pains.
Lovely, private, well equipped accommodation. Only complaint was nowhere to hang towels in bathroom and very noisy ceiling fan.
Had a very nice stay. Everything you need is there. Close to main street.
The house is much more than we expected. Simon was friendly and helpful. The absolute only thing we lacked was a hand beater/whisk, but could manage with a fork. Furthermore, the house was clean, tidy and safe. Thank you very much.
It's a really beautiful place, the bathroom of the cottage was just a bit cramped and can't fit more than one person in it. The only complaints I have are the following: 1. The Weber is broken and not convenient to grill with; 2. The owners' dogs are somewhat of a problem especially when they are not at home (incessant barking) and then this is also repeated as soon as the owners are home. People need to realize that not all people love dogs, and may find it distracting especially if you want to break away to rest.
Hard to get. No clear indications. Name boards or visible no. Otherwise, very comfortable.
The reception was very friendly and we checked in quickly and easily. The accommodation was comfortably furnished and the house clean. We also had no problems checking out and receiving the cash deposit.
Everything was perfect for an affordable stay. Bathroom may only be viewed. One faucet is struggling and the shower spills a lot of water with the wooden board there. Thank you.
Beautiful place. Friendly reception. Clean and well equipped. We had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoyed it more to relax quietly at the place itself than to go into town. Would love to stay there again.
Great house with enough space for a bigger group. The air-conditioning didn't work properly, which was necessary for the warm weather. Luckily there was a nice swimming pool.
Kitchen outside, but contains everything one needs. Bathroom tap was a challenge, it took some time to figure out how to close it. The parking is not suitable for cars that need space to turn, or for cars with a low clearance.
Staff/owner were friendly and helpful. Shower is extremely small and there is no room to move around in the room. Kitchen is outside and not as in the photos. Everything one needs is there, but I feel the photos need to be updated.
Clean, neat and Simon is very helpful and friendly. TV didn't work, but it wasn't a problem.
We stayed in the cottage which was adequate for the night's sleep. Everything was beautifully clean and met our basic needs. If I can criticise, I can say that the owner didn't expect us and didn't fix it. In the bathroom the shower did not have a shower head, which caused a lot of waste. Space in the room is also very limited. The location is in the residential area which is quite far from any shops or restaurants. Despite the points, we had a great night's sleep.
Affordable accommodation does not necessarily have to be neglected. Previous complaints about the shower and ceiling fan have not been rectified. Shower unhygienic, no place to put soap and towel to hang as well as no shower curtain to prevent everything from getting wet. The rest was quite acceptable to overnight.
We enjoyed it very much, except that the microwave didn't work at all.
The accommodation was nice and close to Afridome. It was clean and tidy. The room is very small, as is the bathroom. We had a lot of trouble parking our cars. A bakkie is very difficult to fit in, more suitable for small cars. Room is very private and nice patio area.
We neither expected too much nor got too much. For the price it was average.
Neglected.
Neat, quiet and tranquil. Highly recommend The White Giraffe. Thank you Simon for all of your friendly assistance.
Thank you for the hospitality.
Love, love love! Beautiful place and exactly like the representation of the photos on LekkeSlaap. Thank you Simon for a warm welcome. Despite the cold evenings, we enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and barbecued every night. The tranquility of the surroundings and privacy of the unit is truly good for the soul and we would recommend it anytime.
Rested and visited very well.
The White Giraffe offers very comfortable accommodation at affordable rates and ideal for a large group of people - would easily recommend to anyone. Very neat and clean.
Place was really lovely. Perfect location. Owner lovely and hospitable. Might just look at the fan. I think he's exhausted and it was really hot this weekend. So the fan would have been handy if it didn't shake around and make noise.
Due to the weather conditions, we could not make full use of the house. Would have liked to have a barbecue outside and swim in the beautiful blue pool, but unfortunately it rained too much and was very cold. We stayed at Giraffe because we were attending a wedding in Paris. We also had problems with our vehicle and Simon allowed us to stay after 10 hours which we really appreciated. I would only suggest that there would be fans in all the rooms, as well as that there would be lights outside by the pool area for the evenings. Thank you very much.
The accommodation was nice and peaceful. This little place was so pleasant. Even the owner, Simon, was friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again.
Simon is very pleasant. We could enjoy the pool. The accommodation is very neat. Would have liked a shower curtain/door in the shower. The water fills the whole place.
We attended a wedding outside Parys and it was well suited to our requirements.
The garden room was perfect for us.
We had a great time in the garden cottage. Very private and beautiful. The room could do with an air conditioner.
The place was amazing, and the service was great. You get a great sense of privacy and everything is just peaceful and quiet.
From the moment we arrived we felt right at home! We booked the garden cottage and it had everything we needed. Every day it was cleaned and it is so peaceful there. Thank you again to Simon for a very relaxing long weekend there. We will be back!
It met our requirements. We just physically needed a place to lay our heads. We were in Paris for a wedding. Don't expect more than that.
Very nice bed. Beautiful paintings and plates on walls. Mirrors are special. Open kitchen cupboards and sinks on the porch do not work, because dish towels and sponges for dishes are dirty. Table and chairs dirty, not dusted. Tea bags in uncovered (open) container unusable (lost flavor and dusty). In the bathroom there should be hooks for clothes and towels. Cabinets in bathroom too low and impractical. It must be fixed to the wall.
Neat and clean. An air conditioner/air-con would be an asset to the Garden Cottage. Shower head needs to be replaced as it falls on a person every time you shower. Since the water is heated by a gas geyser, it is quite a struggle to get the water to the right temperature. It would also be a good idea to place a small container of fresh milk in the fridge. Furthermore, it is a beautiful place and the outdoor kitchen is very cute and well equipped.
Clean, but old and outdated. Not the same as on adversity.
Advertisement a clear misrepresentation of what you get when you get there. This is misleading. The Garden cottage at The White Giraffe is incredibly small. Bathroom is totally impractical, almost the whole room gets wet when you shower. Shower head keeps falling off when showering. Floor was dirty under bedside tables (hair and dust), only 1 bedside lamp worked, so I can go on and on. We did not enjoy it at all and will definitely not go back there.
Worth staying there.
The unit can sleep 8 people plus 2 more in adjoining apartment. The house is neat, spacious and as a bonus there is a beautiful swimming pool to cool off in. Good braai facilities - boma as well as a weber braai. We had a lovely weekend and can really recommend the White Giraffe for small or large groups who want to have fun together.
Really enjoyed it, well appointed. Would only ask to be given more fridge/freezer space, especially for large groups. And firmer mattresses in some rooms.
Very comfortable stay. The two teenagers "loved" the WiFi and the small children enjoyed the pool.
We travelled as a group of 2 couples and a single. The house is really spacious and private. We were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay. It is close the city and restaurants. The neighbourhood is perfectly quiet. I particularly loved the boma area and herbal garden and the birds singing in the morning. One thing that could be improved is the lighting around the boma area but besides that, perfect. Beautiful place!
When you go to Paris you just need a bed and bathroom. It is really nice with a patio, kitchen. Small room, but neat without too many frills and nice bathroom with shower. Will definitely book again. Ideal for my husband and I and also walking distance from the famous Bree Street.
We were treated to a warm welcome, the place was small, but very neat and the lay out is beautiful.
I was in Parys for a wedding and the time that I was at The White Giraffe was great and relaxing.
Was very very happy. Simon was very friendly and we had a good stay.
We were 5 friends who had a reunion and the house was perfect for us. Lovely time around the fireplace and boma area.
Was a nice place to stay with family and friends. The house is neat and clean and had more than enough in terms of cutlery and crockery. Rooms are neatly equipped and the bathrooms are top quality.
Simon received us warmly and was very helpful and friendly.
The house is so nice and spacious and has everything you need.
There are enough bathrooms for many people as well. All the rooms are very large.
There was no soap in the bathroom and it was a bit of a problem. Other than that, everything was neat and clean.
It's a nice big house will definitely go back again. Very good value for money!
Rooms are very small but we are campers so we are used to little. It is very well furnished and very nice and clean. Would definitely recommend to a couple who just wants to relax and explore the town.
We had a nice stay in the garden flat and the kitchen on the stoep was very cute. The only problem was that the room doesn't have a window, so we kept the glass doors open at first, but then the mosquitoes came in and we didn't feel safe to sleep with the doors open and with the doors closed it was cramped and hot.
The streets of the neighbourhood where the guesthouse is located is spoiled by huge potholes. The garden flat is very small, but has all the necessities except soap. The kitchenette is on the patio so we couldn't properly use it due to the rain. The owner was very helpful. Parking is not undercover. We have of yet not received proof of payment from the owner despite numerous requests. The low price makes it a good option for those with a small budget.
Gas donkey in shower not efficient.
Very cold floor with no bed mats. Gas was finished at the stove, so we couldn't boil water for coffee. Geyser water to cold to shower.
There was no soap by the hand basin. When I arrived in Vanderbijlpark, I received a SMS about where I had to leave the key. The place was very neat inside though.
Was kindly received and the stay was wonderful. It was cold, but the heater helped and the patio kitchen is beautiful!
It really wasn't a great stay. Our room's door couldn't lock at all. There is a water tank outside the main bedroom which goes on and off the whole time. The little mat in the bathroom does not look clean. It is situated at the end of town and the road is bad to the house. Not at all what I expected.
I booked The White Giraffe for my pensioner parents. It was perfect! It was quiet, clean, tranquil and very safe. I will definitely book here again.
Very neat and private. Completely secluded from other rooms etc. We were able to come and go as we pleased. (I just forgot to wash and dry our dishes the morning that we left.)
Friendly people, make you feel welcome. Room cute and tidy.
Simon was very hospitable and the accommodation was excellent. Everything we needed was there.
Our stay at the White Giraffe was very pleasant. Would recommend anyone to White Giraffe.
I can maybe recommend a soap holder in the shower.
We were in Parys for a wedding and slept at The White Giraffe that night. The room is small, even though it had exactly what we needed. Clean and neat facilities and the owner is very friendly and helpful.
Fast service. Neat and cute garden flat. Very private with everything you need.
You'll see us again in summer - then we can have a dip in the pool! Dirty crockery - cups, glasses and pots.
The room is small but pretty and is equipped with everything you need for overnight stay. I really like the outdoor kitchen, it's something different. We only had one issue: no one was there to check us in when we arrived.
Wonderfully quiet and peaceful. We will definitely book there again. Friendly reception.
Although the room is very small, it is clean and tidy. There is a fridge and microwave in the room but the kettle is on a stove outside the room on the veranda as the room is too small to have it in as well. No air conditioning, just a ceiling fan. Perfectly adequate for one or two nights sleep, but far too small and cramped for longer.
No what... you can't even change your mind. The bathroom is ridiculously small. Definitely just for one person. For sure not 2 persons, not even 2 small persons like us. Power supply is unsafe and inadequate. Couldn't even turn on the heater that was in the room. No table or chair to speak of. The TV channels are also definitely not watchable for any Afrikaans-speaking person! Put an old radio there instead. The reception is not too bad. Sorry, but it was just a disappointment. The "butler" or supervisor was also only there when we arrived, and was never seen again.
I was under the impression it was a self-catering unit, the manager did not inform us that we could use the kitchen. The power plug was overloaded and didn't work properly, you had to turn off some of the devices or the power would cut out. The shower is impractical, when you shower the whole place is full of water, if the door is closed you cannot use the sink properly.
This was truly an experience. Patsy was incredibly friendly and told us a little about the town because we had never been to Paris, she also directed us to the best places to eat and enjoy in the town. The place is very cute and very nicely laid out. The room was incredibly clean and of the highest quality. Would only recommend that they add a bar of soap or small shampoo for when you want to shower. The shower's hot/cold regulator was a bit of a struggle, but not a big problem. My honest opinion, if we visit Paris again we will definitely stay here again. The Photos of the White Giraffe to how amazing it is in reality do not match each other at all. I suggest updating the photos, then many more people will use this place. It was really an experience. Thank you very much, Patsy and thank you very much, LekkeSlaap.
It was an incredibly nice weekend. The stay was so nice. All problem was the one room which is close to the pump which goes on as soon as water is used. Dot makes quite a noise and some of the children had trouble sleeping. If only they could do something there. Other than that, it was very nice! Lovely weekend the accommodation is excellent it is quiet and close enough to all the attractions in Paris. Would recommend The White Giraffe to anyone. Thanks Simon!
I will suggest the owner supply a couple of heaters during winter months as the house is very cold inside. Other than that we had a fantastic stay.
Had a great stay and will use you and White Giraffe again. We were kept informed of the problem with the water heater in the room allocated to us. When this was not rectified in time, we were moved to the house in Fick Street number 1 at no additional cost.
Very comfortable and private accommodation, perfect for an overnight stay in Paris.
It was a nice place to stay and practical. I would just suggest that they put an air conditioner in the Garden Room for summer and winter. I will definitely stay there, because it is worth it to you.
There are a few appliances missing in the kitchen, but the fire pit outside is very cozy ─ just bring enough wood!
We slept in the smaller room for 2. There is a larger family option at the pool. It is a bit cozy with little space for your bags, but therefore really nicely done and there is also a cute garden area especially for the 2 of you. It is a good option on a "road trip" but not necessarily for a longer stay. .
Nice stay and friendly service.
It is a spacious residence. Beautiful pool and garden. The road there is slightly bad with many potholes. The facilities are sufficient. Parking can be a problem if there are more than 3 vehicles. Barbecue cozy and kitchen well equipped. Can definitely recommend it.
We really enjoyed it and would like to arrange such a quick getaway again.
We had a nice stay in neat, clean accommodation.
Simon was very friendly and considerate. The White Giraffe is close to the Afri-dome which is ideal for us. It would be the ideal place to call home in the summer with the outside braai and pool area, but with the many tiles it is unfortunately freezing cold in the winter. Everything is very clean.
It is a lovely spacious house where a group can enjoy a wonderful time together. Kitchen and needs more bowls and basic things like tin opener, peeler and bread knife. The house needs some attention. But we had a great time!
The room was clean and tidy but I think they forgot to sweep the floor. The faucet in the sink was spraying water in different directions - up the wall to the toilet etc. I stuck a band-aid around the leak so I could safely brush my teeth. The hot/cold water in the shower was a challenge, then you burn, then you freeze - no comfortable constant temperature.
It was one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. And the accommodation offered much more than I expected.
We had the most amazing time - I would stay there again anytime, because it was like a "home from home" - Thank You!
I do think there was a mis-booking as we booked and paid for the White Giraffe, but end up staying at the White Giraffe River Cottage. It was a little farther away from the Domearena, but we didn't mind, stuff like that happens. What we wanted was a safe, clean house, and we got more! Not one time did we feel unsafe, or unhappy. Thank you for the laundry room, you might want to add that in your ad. I will recommend you to anyone, and we will be back next time. Thanx Tia
We had a very nice stay for the night we were there. Was worried that our baby's cry would wake up the neighborhood, but otherwise nothing is wrong. Will definitely come again.
Stay really very good value for the space and facilities. Was delicious.
We had a great time in Paris and it was nice to stay at the White Giraffe. The place is tidy, with lots of space, board games, DStv and a nice swimming pool.
Very nice stay! Will definitely do so again!
Only issue was that some of the beds were not so good.
Great place and people!
No negative experience during stay! We slept very well and had a great time at The White Giraffe. We will most definitely use it again. Nice quiet town.
