"Slippers blink uit ten opsigte van die volgende kategorieë:

* Privaat, rustig en veilig met 'n eie ingang en onderdak-parkeerplek.
* Baie skoon, nie net oppervlakkig netjies nie!
* Goed toegerus met genoeg pak- en hangplek vir 'n korterige verblyf.
* Genoeg spieëls en muurproppe.
* Krane en toilet wat werk!
* Geen uitgediende matrasse - ons het heerlik geslaap.
* Vriendelike ontvangs en sorg gedurende die verblyf sonder om inbreuk
te maak op gaste se privaatheid.
* 'n Ontbyt om te droom van."

"J*** en ek wil net baie, baie dankie se vir die heerlike tydjie wat ons by “Slippers” kon deurbring – ons het dit verskriklik baie geniet! Van die oomblik dat ons daar aangekom het, het jy ons so baie welkom laat voel.  Al die ekstras soos die vars blomme, warm watersakke en konfyt om saam te vat huis toe, word opreg waardeer. Jy het definitief ‘n wenkombinasie daar by “Slippers”..."

"Wil net vir julle baie dankie sê vir die lieflike aandjie wat ek en D*** by julle gebly het. Alles was pragtig en julle stort is AMAZING! Ons het die biltong en aarbeie ook verskriklik geniet. Ons sal definitief weer terug kom en die keer vir ‘n hele naweek en nie net een aand nie. Baie Dankie weereens!
