    I would like to caveat this with this, the experience was excellent value for money. A couple of things that could have been improved were the quality of the furniture and bedding. We were also missing some small essentials such as salt, which could have made the stay a little better.

    It was very easy, the host met us as soon as we parked and gave us a guide to the property including handing us the keys.

    Unfortunately during loadshedding there is also no water due to the pumping system which could prove difficult for longer stays, however was perfect for a weekend getaway

    Great location, friendly & helpful staff! Comfortable bedrooms with en suite’s. Nice shared spaces as well as the apartment balcony.

    It's that I didn't like, I just want to advise the property owner to look for comfortable couches when he/she gets the chance and bar fridge&microwave in the rooms, otherwise the property 👌👌👌

    The interruption of water supply due to a pump that had to reset after load shedding. we soon learned that it could be reset manually and it took less than a minute.

    Kitchen layout and equipment. Cleanliness. All the areas to relax. The option to eat inside or outside the apartment. The gas hob so load shedding did not rule our lives. The smart TV with Netflix options. bedside lamps that kept going during load shedding. a very caring and patient hostess.

    The pool was very tiny. More of a water feature. Movement from tenants above the other apartments could be heard. Our entire apartment smelled moldy and damp. We couldn't use the wardrobes/cupboards as it was too stinky! The carpets were also very smelly. There are no plug points in the bedrooms. We were 5 people , and they gave us 2 toilet rolls and 1 blag bag for all 3 days! Won't be going back there again!

    The outside seating and braai area. Relaxed atmosphere

    Decent place, lovely agent, would not book for a group getaway as noise carries across the property.

    The other apartments are very close together. Right next to, and on top of one another. As well as being really close to residential neighbours. This is not the ideal place to book a work retreat or group stay. It would be fine for a family or single person wanting to stay for a night to rest, but not for a group of people looking to have a fun weekend away. Noise restrictions and many stairs also make it slightly awkward for a "retreat" especially when drinking or planning to have long nights outside.

    The agent was nice. She was understanding and kind. The rooms and kitchen were clean. Lounge has a nice fireplace.
