    The fact that there is no plan for loadshedding, at least put the rechargeable globes in room.Also make provision at least have power in the reception area for ironing clothes and doing other things that requires power.

    It was exactly what we saw on pictures,loved the Eco pool even though I didn't get the time to swim.

    As advertised on booking.com there was BBQ (Braaing) allowed, planned and bought all the supplies then when checking in was told it is NOT PERMITTED. Rather disappointing and wasted food. Please can you update the site. Showers temp was not regulated in our unit (6), either satans pit hot or Antarctic cold.

    Peaceful and relaxing and comfortable and breakfast was amazing. Hats off to the kitchen and waiters ladies, fantastic, huge smiles and super friendly.

    Very humid and cold room because without heating it was hard to air. Impossible to stay in the room without being underneath the blanket. The personnel was not warm or welcoming. The whole setting of the restaurant was a bit odd, it was prepared for like a wedding, but they were serving us dinner at some plastic tables on the side. The whole vibe was just off both of the place and the people working there. It was not inviting to spend time there so we ended up finding other places around.

    The location and the garden was nice. We came in winter and it was pretty cold at night and it had an electric blanket. Dinner was delicious.

    Either guests should be allowed to supply their own beer and wine or the establishment should offer a better choice.

    The breakfast was very good and dinners excellent. Accommodation in a rondavel comfortable and well equipped. Location stunning.

    As guest who have previously been victims of crime at another guesthouse. Our only concern was the lack of security. But apparently the area is safe and nothing happened. It's just a personal preference.

    The location is perfect and central to everything. Very calm atmosphere.

    Communication around booking for meals as well as the available meal options. We didn't know we'd have to book each meal in advance (or didn't understand this clearly), so we couldn't, for instance, just show up for lunch. As this is a strictly non-self catering venue, that could have been a little clearer. But the location is central enough for you to eat elsewhere too.

    The setting is absolutely beautiful, the staff are very friendly and the location is very central, whilst still being remote. Again, the setting is incredible. Can't be beat.

    Was advertised a pet friendly however when we checked in we were told that it is not pet friendly anymore. If you looking for pet friendly they suggested another lodge up the road.

    The lodge is located in a good area with great views. Lots of things to do in the area.
