We stayed over in Kokstad and were delighted with the Old Orchard, the rooms are clean and spacious, the view is lovely and the food is good.

The rooms were clean, check in was easy and I was made to feel welcome.

Whilst the room is spotlessly clean, the furnishings are "tired".

However on down side, wifi was weak and reception was frequently un-manned; so I had to wait a while for service.

I usually enjoy staying in your BnB except one thing "Network connectivity " in your area is very poor.

Had an issue with the internet connection,

The towels were frayed, the carpet unclean, TV never worked, free wifi was a non event.

The Old Orchard

wifi

but when I showered it was cold, she insisted it was not cold (as though she showered with me and knew).

although we only used the shower as the bath appeared to be missing it's taps, which didn't really bother us.

I wasn't advised upfront about the bath without taps for water saving.

No fridge in room, broken curtain rail, no bedside rug, no soap holder in shower, db board in guests room so got disturbed after 8pm to have geyser for whole hotel switched on.

Only 3 out of 5 electric blankets worked and the second en suite shower did not work at all.

The Oak Park Guest House is near these landmarks: Kokstad Golf Club, East Griqualand Museum and Community Tourism Information Centre and Mount Currie Nature Reserve

though was run down, faucets were loose, things provided in the room (kettle etc) were old and untidy and the lighting was very poor.

The roll was given to us in clingwrap on the plate - rock hard from being heated in the microwave too long.

However when our load shedding slot came up from 1-3:30 pm on Friday, the generator was not switched on and without the wifi we ended up missing an afternoon of work anyway.

During the night, some lights from outside were shining into our rooms, which kept one or two members awake for a while.

Other guests very noisy and requests to establishment to control noise amounted to nothing.

Would have liked to hear from owner after we gave them feedback.

Rooms were clean and had everything one could need.

The website described the hotel as a four star space, with wifi-this was the most important factor as we both still had to work on Friday (remotely).

My one suggestion is to link the website directly with Tripadvisor to make booking easier.

There was a misunderstanding initially about the pricing of units, and I was a bit upset because it was more expensive than stated on the website, and out of our budget.
