    There is no fan in the chalet.

    It is a beautiful resort. The staff are very friendly. The chalet was very clean and neat. I will definitely come again.

    Major maintenance is required: plumbing required. Appliances need upgrade- there was no kettle in our unit, toaster caught alight, microwave stopped working. Patio ceiling was dripping and leaking into the unit. Damp in the bedroom ceiling- made it difficult to sleep- noisy dripping. The rooms smelled like damp. Such a pity that maintenance is so poor as this is one of our favourite places to stay

    Location and views are beautiful. Food at the restaurant is tasty. Staff are friendly- entertainment is great. Fun venue

    Operationally it could be better, our room didn’t have items we needed for cooking and missed other items like the TV remote etc…we inquired and requested many times but to no avail.

    It was peaceful and pleasant…a good place to rest

    The item property does communicate loadshedding times, but the unit does not offer battery lights or a gas stove which is quite a pity - when the power is off - you cannot make any food or boil water for coffee

    Very big flatlet with magnificent views. Well furnished self catering unit

    No reception service at night and loadshedding impacts guests badly. Somebody should check on all guests during loadshedding to ensure all is well

    They need to change their fridge in the unit that we were booked in. The top was not cold and it made some of our meat spoilt. Also that there was load shedding and they didn't provide anything for the rooms eg candles

    Payment was taken from my credit card on the day of booking. Subsequently I received 8 e-mails telling me how to make payment. On phoning the resort, I was told that my payment was not reflecting. A further e-mail from the resort indicated that payment was reflecting on the system, and I would have no problem at the resort. Within 10 minutes of checking into my unit, I received a call from reception telling me to present my proof of payment. I find this stressful, and unnecessary. There are quite a few maintenance issues with the unit, such as a non working microwave.

    Restaurant - the restaurant menu was very limited and disappointing. However, when we visited for lunch, we were presented with a specials menu. This was well presented, and the food and service were excellent.

    an amazing stop over for us. it would have been amazing if the receptionist had let us know that there was load shedding an hour after we arrived at our room as we hadn’t prepared dinner as yet. Otherwise a wonderful stay
