    The long wait for our meals. Better lighting in the houses especially bathrooms. It was very dark

    It was so pleasant to sit at the restaurant, the entertainment is a big bonus. Service at the restaurant is a problem though. All the meals at the restaurant took well over an hour to reach us.

    The bathroom taps needed attention and the shower.

    We had a wonderful view of the dams and fields. It was relaxing there. The unit was spacious and comfortable.

    No Wi-Fi and No Smart TVs. The kitchen staff was not welcoming during breakfast and the tables were left with dirty plates for more than an hour and there were flies all over…I never enjoyed my breakfast because of dirtiness (Sunday 25/02).

    The apartment was great and spacious

    With the heavy rains we received, there was water coming into our chalet. I think this should be looked into

    I loved the convenience of the restaurant; it was such a pleasant environment as well. The staff is very friendly and always ready to assist.

    Resort staff look weary which translates into the very laid back approach. Hope it's just the tiredness from a busy December and not this way always.

    Felt like a home away from home. Apartments are fully equipped for a family stay. Large and airy. Beautiful scenery on every side.. The most serene place to be.. Resort staff try to make it entertaining for guests/families with games and also fun kids activities to do on each day of our stay.. Horse riding was excellent and our guide was very accommodating. Food at the restaurant was very good. Nonny who is in charge of entertainment was such a pleasure. So helpful and great with the kids.

    Didn't like the fact that their were over 12 flys in our chalet to a point were we had to buy doom. Fridge barely worked resulting in some of our stuff getting spoilt. The Bathroom needs a serious upgrade especially the shower & tub areas.

    Loved the activities and just the general calmness of the place.

    The units require serious maintenance and tlc. The housekeeping needs to be jacked up. Every time we go to midlands saddle and trout, units are dirty. Floors are never washed, leaving the underneath of your feet black after a few steps, and on this occasion, there was leftover food from the previous guests under the couches and in the microwave. There is nothing worse than going to heat up food and finding a moldy burger in the microwave from the previous guests. I think if the units were exceptionally clean on your arrival, it would make up for a lack of maintenance/tlc in the units.

    The location, animals, and views are great, and it is extremely peaceful. The breakfasts at the restaurant are excellent. The staff are friendly. Good value for money overall.
