    The main door in my room was making a terrible noise, the door handle was hard to open. this was frustrating for me. the staff receptionist was far and no phones on the rooms to contact, I needed to use my airtime to ask for help. the bath soap.

    the person who was on duty including the lady on the receptionist, they came very fast to help on the TV, unfortunately its was beyond their control, the DSTV was not switching on. I ended up using Netflix instead .........................................................................

    The problem was that some other guests ( probably 2 couples) decided to use the outdoor space next to the swimming pool to have a good time together with lots of drinks, noise, shouts, music ( including stampeding in the corridor) until 2:00 a.m : we made them understand that they were not alone in the guest house. I should add that we were supposed to have a room at n. 116 in the main guest house but we were asked to stay n. 115. I mentionned this to the staff in the morning.

    The staff was nice. The place was pleasant with a nice terrace, very clean kitchen ( even if we did not use it). The room was comfortable.

    Requested extra towels for pool swim, which didn't materialise. Also, no extra toilet paper in the rooms.

    Only 2 towels per room when there were 3 occupants. We asked for another towel but never got it. It says its a bed and breakfast but there is no breakfast available.

    Great location and the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. We arrived very late but the team were ready to assist us and get us checked in.

    We chose a family apartment in the non-smoking area. However, the family in unit in the same building were smoking. The smell traveled through into our unit.

    The BNB was nice and clean and we was welcomed by the ever so friendly Mpume.. We had everything that we needed.

    They are a few smalls things that can be added to the room to make it more comfortable. Driving water, plates and utensils, towel rail etc.

    It's a beautiful house and very nice spacious room. Quiet neighbourhood but very close to shops and eateries

    Our ensuite bathroom was nothing more than a closet with a non solid door and no window or extraction. Fortunately there were very few other guests as there was no sound proofing in the vicinity of the room. The place needs investment.

    The location was quiet and safe, whilst still being within close walk to plenty of eating options. The house and grounds well immaculately kept and the staff were lovely. Our room was spacious and bright.

    Operating hours for the pool were too short…7pm cut off is too early especially during the festive season. Can you consider turning some of your rooms into self catering??😊

    The facilities were as advertised. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Mpume was great. Very close proximity to the famous Florida street👌🏾👌🏾
