    The place was terrible. Broken outdoor furniture. Mangy cats all over the place that were there to catch all the snakes they have according to Ronel. Although Ronel was friendly she was unkempt. I was phoned before the time to bring cash as she supposedly wanted to pay staff bonuses but there was no other staff but her and her husband. Private pool was allocated on booking but it was away from the rooms and was the size of a bath but I was told it is deep so that makes up for the size. It was literally not a pleasant place to stay

    None offered

    The blankets were dirty and had thorns and asked for blankets to be changed but still they didn't change the blankets. The swimming pool is the size of a bathtub very disappointing. The rooms had so many spiderweb I wonder how they clean their rooms

    I loved the location, cleanliness, and the friendliness of the staff. It was just the kind of bush experience I needed. The fact it was not including breakfast was the only miss for me. I would've loved to enjoy breakfast there...

    Everything

    This has to be the most horrid of places I have been too. We were escorted to a room on the upper floor. The carpet was loose and caused me to fall and injure my self badly. We were then taken to a loft apartment that was filthy and had a foul smell. The bathroom had horrible stains in the tub and the toilet was stained with Urine. The couches were dusty and full of dog hair and the bedding looked at rumpled as though it had not been changed for sometime. I had to book an alternate place within 10 mins. Cannot understand how this place got a 4 star rating

    We didn’t even stay for an hour before we went to look for different accommodation. The room was filthy and extremely dusty, we had no hot water, there were no sheets on the beds and the linen looked used, there was even snot in the basin which was not washed. All the furniture outside was rotted and broken.

    I didn't like the fact that the pool was too small for us.and there are no bar fridges in the rooms.the place needs a bit of face lift

    The mananger Ronelle was so sweet and kind, she kept on check-in on us ,May God grant her all the money to revamp the place . So she can more and more bookings.

    the place was uncomfortable, it was dirty from outside to inside, the blankets had cat furry the smell of cigarettes, the rooms were cold and dusty. no hospitality or presence of the stuff.

    The owner were friendly, and welcoming, large and spacious room, can use with better cleanness no smoking in the rooms.
