Beautiful Estate in the most amazing Winelands region
It really saddened me when a friend saw this post about Aan de Wijnlanden Estate and asked me what's going on. and why the person posted such an extremely bad review. So I thought it fitting to share my experience here... We've been here for just over a year. And we truly love it. AdW is a beautiful estate, with a sizeable clubhouse, a gym, a kids daycare, parks & trails everywhere - and the most breathtaking views. To top that off, we have kind, supportive, caring and friendly residents. Sure, there are a handful of naysayers with very negative attitudes towards the Estate, who blame the estate and management for everything that goes wrong, whether it's beyond their control or not (like Eskom or building contractor issues, etc.). You know, those ones who will complain about every little thing, just to prove a point, whether they have all the facts or not... Of course we have teething issues at our estate, we're a developing estate, things are going to happen as we grow and settle. We all knew this when we bought at AdW. Construction will likely be ongoing for the next 3 to 5 years. But that is also why we benefit from the good property prices. Also, our low levies and rates & taxes makes it one of the more affordable places to live in this area. There some (that handful) of toxic residents, who unfortunately seem to find fault with almost everything in life. My heart goes out to them and I pray they find inner peace and learn to be happy. But hey - there's the rest of us, several hundreds, who love it here and generally try to see all things good. We have socials, we visit each other, we participate in community events, and we enjoy life. We even have residents who make things, who cook and who bake for other residents, we sell and swop things on our WhatsApp groups, and we help when it's needed. What more could one want from community living? It sounds like that negative poster is still living in the estate, so I have to ask myself, why? Why are they still here? They have freedom of choice - so if it is THAT bad, perhaps they should find another place that will make them happy. Or maybe they could just try to be civil about things and make effort to start getting along with others, while trying to also see the good that life has to offer...

No products or refund after almost 6 months! (Find owner name below)
Same as many others here, we ordered from them months ago, and to date, no products and no refunds. The company has since removed all their Facebook reviews and closed the option for people to review or see any - wonder why?! Anyway - since they don't care about their customers, I'll share with those reading this that the owner of the business is *Ms Rulene Zenobia Germeshuysen* and she's from Carletonville. I have sent her a private message on FB and also responded to a review she posted about bad service at Steers. lol - how ironic! Anyway - good luck to those still waiting. I hope the name helps. Let's take a stand against those suppliers who take shoppers money with no apparent intention of honouring the deal.

Excellent Service from Danielle.
We initially ordered a matress from another supplier and after 2 weeks of waiting, and no communication from there side, we cancelled the order and requested a refund. We then found a similar offer on the Mattress Warehouse website. We ordered from them as their website also said "fast delivery" so by the next morning I emailed them asking when our mattress would be delivered. Minutes later my phone rang and it was Danielle. She called to inform me that there was one mattress in stock, but after inspection thereof they were not happy to send it to me. She said that they were prepared to upgrade the mattress to a better one, at no cost to us. What a pleasant surprise! I of course accepted, and theattress was delivered next day, as promised. Well done Danielle, you made another customer happy! I will certainly refer you to others.

Multi-Dex consumer division - Excellent!
From the quoting stage through to final delivery, Gavin @ Multi-Dex was professional, helpful and transparent. Our 'zink' roof was too low to install tiles, so it was suggested that we 'seal the roof' as is done with flat roofs. This was surprisingly less than re-tiling. and it comes with a 10-year guarantee, and 20-year life expectancy. They cover the sink with polystyrene, then with a hard board, then they seal it with a layer of rubber which is melted on (similar to Torch-On, but better). Then this is finished off with a silver paint. the best part - it took 3 days - and the work was done rather quietly. The job looks amazing - and we cannot believe how quiet it was this week when it rained. Also, we don't hear those huge hadida's on our roof any more. What a pleasure! Thanks to Gavin and his amazing team!

Harassing calls and sms's received for false debt
Dear Charmaine @ Nelson Borman. Please could you use my mobile number ********** 224 to check why I am getting messages to pay outstanding Nashua Mobile (account I had in 2001) and Edgars account debt. I have told your call centre agents time and time again (and yet I continue to receive obsessive missed calls from your number) that I am 100% sure that I do not owe anything to either of these suppliers. In fact, I currently have an Edgars account that is very much up to date and I doubt that my account would be active if I owed Edgars anything at all. I currently have an excellent credit record & scoring and I paid my dues to whomever I needed to at the time - almost 20 years ago! So I am quite sure you bought a very very old and outdated debtors list! PLEASE - stop with the harassing calls and sms's. I don't want to take the legal route to make this harassment go away, but I will if I have to, because your continuous calls are interfering with my work and productivity. Thank you. Natalie

Excellent service from Discovery Insure
I moved over to Discovery Insure (from an expensive Alex Forbes) just over a year ago. Last week I needed to claim for the 1st time. I cracked my laptop screen when I tripped one evening. I emailed my broker (VMA Brokers) within an hour of the incident, telling her what happened and enquiring about the claim process. I received a quick response from her, and by the morning, I'd received an SMS with claim number and a call from the Discovery Insure consultant. I dealt with Matilda Ntshingila, who emailed me when I didn't answer my phone. I tried getting a quote from other suppliers who seemed reluctant and I gave up. So I turned to Matilda who then helped me find a suitable supplier to repair my laptop. On top of this, she organised with them to collect it from me. The repairer/supplier (Amy @ The Notebook Company) has been amazing too, updating me about everything along the way. Thank you Discovery Insure, you've really made me pleased that I moved. Keep up the excellent customer service! :-)
