    OK, but disappointing and we will not stay there again.

    • Double Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Rooms were very basic and short finess. Not sure of the cleanliness...toilet was boiling over. Towels worn out and short supplied initially.

    Breakfast was average at best. No menu. Restaurant is self-help(most of it anyway). Location is OK.

    There was no extra toilet paper, when i got into the room, there was only a quarter of roll left which didn't make me feel 100% catered for. The security guard at the gate was hardly there and the gate had to be opened manually by guests. the place is very beautiful and has potential but the owners and staff need to step up their game.

    Its Private, quiet, relaxing, the room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The yard is beautiful and well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    Where to even start!? The water wasn't working when we arrived, curtains and bed sheets stained, one bed had a very lumpy duvet which was changed when questioned. Sliding door wouldn't open. Fridges had almost no drinks, food (meat) was left defrosting out of fridges overnight, BUGS found in the cereal. We felt completely unsafe. Staff seemed completely indifferent to our concerns and I only brought up the worst of them (food hygiene, no water, lumpy duvet). Honestly the absolute worst place I've ever stayed. Oh and by the way, no horses in sight which my girls were very disappointed about. Apparently they had found them all dead. Was offered a refund on the breakfast (which we wouldn't consume out of fear of food poisoning) Of course the refund never arrived. Avoid this place at all costs. Overpriced and appalling in every way.

    Some of the staff were friendly

    They could be better prepared because a lot of things like breakfast was delayed. They don’t have a set menu which made us keep asking what they serve or don’t serve.

    Generally the food was nice but some food not seem fresh like the sausages we had at breakfast

    Some faul smell, not sure if it was sewage system or what. And please consider this: The entrance need to be improved, maybe negotiate with the municipality to put measures to lower speed in the vicinity of your gate (e.g a stop sign. It is not easy to exit your place when there many cars entering) .. And why have one line as path for entering and exiting the place?

    The lady who welcomed us and shown me our rooms was very friendly, patient and forever smilling. This was really good experience, she made it easy for me to ask all the questions I had and feel at home. The room was very spacious and clean. We felt at home. Should I visit vryheid soon, surely I will lodge there again.
