"Arrived after a long drive to a friendly set up in a nice part of town. Felt very safe and welcoming. Rooms were nicely done with all the needed extras.... Except when we tried to run a bath for our 4 year old there was next to no hot water (Cold ran fine) Thought maybe the geyser would need some time to warm up during the night, got up for an early start, but in the morning, there was not a drop of hot water. (Kettle water in the sink to wash). If there was a switch or a special way to switch on the Geyser (I did look around) it would have been nice to have been told about it. Other than that a very pleasant over night stay.

Establishment's response

Dear Cuan

I am really sorry. The temperature went to minus degrees during the night and if this happens the pipes freeze during the night. We do have the pipes covered with sponge, but the geysers are on the roof (solar geysers). I do keep them on electricity during the night.

I canÕt understand why it still freeze. That is why there is no hot water in the morning. I did get a plumber to try and see what he can do to solve the problem. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards

Arista"

"Upon arriving in Colesberg at 6h30pm we found the location very easily due to the fact that it was just off the main road, close to the beautiful Church. A friendly reception awaited us, the room was just as the picture portrayed. Everything was available in the room, tea and coffee, good quality towels, TV which included DSTV. Very comfortable double bed. If you wanted to watch TV in a more relaxed atmosphere, (other than the bedroom) that was also available in a comfortable lounge. A restaurant for supper was just around the corner within walking distance. The dining area was very nicely laid out, neat and clean with a lovely homely atmosphere. We were made to feel extremely welcome. Fridge facilities were offered to us. Secure parking was available (in our case for 2 cars). What more could one ask for?"
