    There are some things that needed attention but nothing that detracted from the value we felt we got from our stay.

    We appreciated the attention to detail and the little 'extras'. Provision for load shedding, firewood, electric blanket, heaters in the bathrooms, extension cord, etc. The location suited us and the cottage was spacious and comfortable.

    Very little, loved most of it. Cushions on the bed was very soft, prefer harder but understand that they cannot cater for all.

    It was clean, really beautiful and I loved the cottage feel and design. Walking distance to all the shops and easy access.

    The house smelt, the carpet needs to be cleaned and the bathrooms had a weird smell (like old pee) There where rats or mice in the ceiling and I found drippings in the living room.

    I loved the location and the house

    Dullstroom family stay 26 Apr - 02 May 2023
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 6 nights

    Considering we booked 3 adults X 6 days, paid a decent sum of money and the property was unserviced, there are areas we feel let the property down: * There is no backup electricity solution. (there was a single lamp that one could use if there was no electricity) Other than that, no candle/torch or an alternative gas solution was provided. A load-shedding schedule would also have been useful and helpful. * I feel ceiling or floor fans are critical because the property is not air-conditioned. (for when there is power). * The smell. When we entered the property there was a strong smell of smoke. We suspect it comes from the fireplace and the property being closed up for a long time. Once we opened windows and doors it did help but there is an overall musty smell in the cottage - perhaps it's the carpets, we aren't sure, but fresh-smelling it is not! * Rats/mice - or something living in the ceiling/roof. It's noisy up there! You can hear them day and night, especially at night. Not pleasant at all - maybe they have something to do with the smell? * The tiniest, most uncomfortable double bed and "pap" pillows I have ever slept in/on. I believe rented accommodation should at the very least, provide a queen size if not a king bed for couples. * There was no safe provided for valuables. * Only one set of towels was provided - not acceptable for a 6-day stay. * Toilet paper - only 2 rolls of toilet paper were provided - also not enough for 6 days. * There was dust around some of the plugs (especially those adaptor plug systems on the floor). I don't like getting someone else hair and goodness knows what else on my hands when I need an adaptor. * There is no wifi. If you are not going to provide these items then say so in your property description. We could have then made provision to take additional towels, toilet paper, candles/torches etc.

    Location - excellent Privacy - good 2-bed cottage - has good bathrooms and a decent kitchen with a good size fridge/freezer The property manager (Les) - was excellent. She went out of her way on Saturday afternoon to get the television working. Thank you for that, much appreciated.

    There were no matches and only one firelighter. It was a bit chilly on Friday & Saturday night and we could only use the fireplace on Saturday night

    We really loved the location - we walked everywhere. The house was situated close to everything and away from the noise of the main road.

    It would be nice to have solar or an inverter at a property to be able to keep working during loadshedding.

    Great location, appreciated the electric blanket and underfloor heating. Enough towels were given which is great!
