    The shower facility not good at all and no back up generator for loadshedding.

    The peaceful nature of the place that enabled me and my family to pray during a difficult time of losing my mother

    You are expected to wash your dishes before you leave, but theres no soap or dish towels etc.

    Friendly people. Incredible grounds! Beautiful spot for fishing. The accomodation is neat, simple, and rustic, just waht you need for a quick getaway! They very kindly upgraded us to a better room! It was pretty much exactly what I expected/paid for.

    the rooms smelt like moth balls which was a bit intense. but everything we needed was in our chalet, and im lowkey glad we didnt book the lake view cause the bathrooms are outside. No complaints on my end. It exceeded my expectations, from looking at the picks online. perfect fishing trip and outdoors well maintained

    youre not booking a five star chalet, your chalet is literally to sleep and wash, the scenery was beautiful. i spent my holiday fishing and picnicking on the grass. However please do yourself a favour and get doom/ insect repellent and bring your own bedding just for your extra comfort. The owner is such a sweet person, a chatter and will take his time answering questions... as long as you respect the property

    The chalets was not equipt well. You have to clean before you leave or you lose your deposit.no issue with that, but there is no equipme t to clean with. No basin, only a plastic bucket and no sponge or rag nor any cleaning liquid.

    The host was friendly. The resort was clean and well cept. It has the basics and no wifi that can hinder the tranquility

    For price we paid the room was super small, also no coffee/tea. The moths was just out of hand right throughout the day and night. Great people but price is too expensive for the room we received

    View was beautiful, owners awaited us as we entered

    Terrible Weekend Away 😪

    The place is soooo dirty. Our room was full of goggas and spider web all over. Our room did not have a toilet and a shower, not to mention that they did not give us towels. The place is Self-Catering, but it doesn't have the resources you need to cater for yourselves. They expected us to wash our dishes but didn't even give us the dish-clothes, let alone the dish washing liquid. The showers and toilets, ohhh Gosh... Basically if you want to experience a terrible weekend out, go to this place. The care taker is such a racist 🙄 I would never advise anyone book this place for a holiday, even for a weekend outing, more especially if you are traveling with kids, you will only traumatize your kids.

    Nothing at all, the worst service I ever received at a Guesthouse. This is not a place for leisure

    The fact that they do not accommodation late check-in even when you call to make arrangements, I had to pay extra money for late check-in, and the other chalet was dirty that we had to stay in one house because they is no full time staff member there to clean and we have to look for somebody to clean, then they are racist because I paid key deposits then when we checked out the old guy had to take his time to check the place but my problem is he did not check the white people when they checked out and there was no enough toilet papers. To be honest I will never recommend anyone to go there due to the treatment and they refuse to refund for the dirty room that had spider webs. They need to change their attitude because they will lose the business.
