11 guests' feedbackVery pleasant and comfortable place to stay. Mosquito nets/plug-in mosquito repellents would be an asset.
WiFi would be a bonus. A bit cold in winter!
We travel with dogs, and were looking for a fenced-in place at short notice. Tinkerbell is excellent for dogs, they can play well. We also can't stay at places that have pure white linen, even though our dogs sleep on the floor I'm always worried about white duvets, just in case. So for my needs Tinkerbel was perfect. And there was a complimentary bottle of wine and most importantly, a bag of ice in the freezer. It's thoughtful. There were also lamps and gas, we hit beurkrag. The host came to warn us ahead of time.
The house was very well equipped and we stayed lovely.
It is very peaceful and safe. The roads in town are just pathetic.
From the outside one would never imagine that the house opens up to a lovely home away from home.Nice fire by the fireplace and big spacious room.Area very quiet ensuring a nice good night rest.
We only slept here one night, but I loved Tinkerbell. One might call the decor eclectic. It's a mix of old and new, modern paintings in one room and old peasant paintings in another. Everywhere in the house there are small surprises in the selection of artworks, color combinations that are fresh and with the times. Keep in mind that there is not much going on in Rouxville, but you are only half an hour's drive from Zastron. The rooms are large, the beds comfortable. The bottle of wine and sherry was a nice surprise when we arrived. There are cute details such as oil lamps instead of ordinary electric bedside lamps. Tinkelbell stands out in the details of the place. There is a short stretch of dirt road to drive to the house. The owner was also very friendly and helpful. I would easily recommend Tinkelbell.
We enjoyed the night tremendously. The house is clean, well equipped, reasonable and seemingly safe. I will stay in the same house again if I had the opportunity. It's a shame that Rouxville, like many other rural towns, is going downhill, but the owners at Tinkerbell and a few of the home owners are working hard to revive to the town.
Very well equipped (even during load shedding there is gas available) and comfortable. Thank you very much.
Rouxville is not a vacation destination, but if you pass through, Tinkerbell is a really cute place. The place is probably the best self-catering house in Rouxville. If you like history, you should pay a visit there. The place is full of magazines from the 60s, and lots of cool books about the history of Rouxville and surroundings. We really enjoyed staying there for 2 nights. The town itself is doing badly under the current drought. From the above history books, I deduce that Rouxville has actually been slowly deteriorating since the railroad was built by Zastron in the early 20th century. If you are going to spend the night in Rouxville, I can recommend this cottage.
We arrived in a small, dry town with only dusty streets. From the outside, the houses were a welcome sight with their colorful exteriors! Easily got the key. Inside was fresh, clean and cool. The sleeping accommodation was sufficient for the 5 of us and comfortable. Although the owner maintained good telephone contact in between, it would have been very pleasant for us to meet her and thank her for all the trouble! The only challenges were the water pressure and the fact that there was no shower. The work space in the kitchen was also very limited! A suggestion of a small, square or round table/worktop in the center of the kitchen might be considered.
