Oregon House

The property was spacious and comfortable. The building itself is old, but the woodwork makes it feel warm and welcoming. The farmhouse is a stone's throw out of the town, and its location makes one feel that you're in the countryside. A nice feature!

We experienced problems with the wiring in one of the bedrooms and in the kitchen. A plug box kept tripping the mains. We overcame this by re-rooting the leads to another plug box. I've admitted that the place is rather dated, but several small things could be overcome to make staying more convenient. These were * a cork screw opener that didn't work, * a lamp in the passage that didn't work, * a 4-slice toaster that didn't work on one side and never pops up, * a bad leak in the kitchen that dripped over the stove. These are all general problems that could be avoided if the owners took a little time to ensure that these inconveniences were sorted out. Bedroom 4 could have a towel hook next to the shower and a shelf in the bathroom. As I said, these are small items that can be rectified. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. Oh, one other thing, the house, because of the woodwork, is very dark inside, even with all the lights on. I would suggest that more modern fluorescent lights would solve this problem. Just saying.

It’s a beautiful location and cool in the hot summer

The acorns took a little while to get used to!

The rooms are spacious, the gardens are lush and we had access to the farm yard with horses and springbok, as well as the well kept pool. There are many birds to watch with barn owls in the oak tree in front of the veranda.

The flies and mosquitoes were annoying, so we had to keep the doors and windows closed all the time which was quite challenging in the very hot weather. The pool is a short walk away at the owner's house.

The beautiful scenery. Ample space en the outdoor area. We had everything we needed

Beautiful venue in a wonderful restful setting

Kindling to light the fire would have been a bonus
