    At some point our toilet got blocked, and no we did not throw anything that was not toilet paper. That is one thing i did not like.

    Loved the nature and the animals roaming around the house. The property was lovely, enough rooms and enough space. My boyfriend and I and our couple friends enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed chilling upstairs in the balcony. We had such nice relaxing time, away from everything with beautiful views.

    Unfortunately one of the shower was smelling uring. My wife had to clean that and the cleaning material was so limited and had to supplement that with our own. Check on the quality of cleaning materials.

    We made our own food. The cleaning people were there every day of our stay but with limited cleaning materials.

    The long gravel we had to take to get to the reception and to go for our activites was just tiring and not a nice experience for us

    Private pool, it was clean, it is quite and safe...waking up to see the animals roaming around was just beautiful

    Kettle tripped electricity - had to use a pot on the stove to boil water. Cutlery, pots and utensils are very limited. Not enough extra blankets provided for Winter time, luckily we took along. It would be more convenient to collect the keys from the gate on arrival and not have to drive all the way to reception, which is in a total different direction. Maybe a code safe on the property like many other houses there do?

    The house has a nice layout and good facilities. The house was clean and neat on arrival. Spacious and cozy. Nice furniture.

    When we arrived the place was still dirty from the previous people who stayed there. We contacted the owner who was very friendly and in an hour the place was cleaned. Must say not the owners fault. I think there was some kind of misunderstanding about cleaning the place.

    The place is beautiful and big. A quiet and good place to relax. Just make sure to bring everything you need. The shop is quite expensive.

    The water did not drain from the downstairs shower. The light at the outside braai did not work. Only 1 of the lights at the stairs were working. There was a terrible smell from the septic tank.

    The Cleaner on the first day of our stay, only cleaned the Kitchen area. She did not clean the rest of the house- i.e. bathrooms, bedrooms or even go into the rest of the other rooms. Cleaner did not clean up the fireplace which was used the night before. It would be nice to get information regarding Load shedding times before arrival and even during the stay there.

    Self catering Unit. So breakfast was catered for by self. Lovely stay all in-all, good quiet outing for family and friends. Having the wild peaceful animals outside the unit was wonderful. The surprise was finding the Book shelf in the unit filled with all types of novels/books for interesting read- for different age groups.

    Needs a few items to make it more enjoyble. There is no dustbin in the kitchen, only recycling bin. No dustpan and small broom for cleaning up small messes. No spade for outside braai area to easily move coals from the fire pit to the braai.

    Loved the location. House is very comfortable and has a lovely view from the balcony.
