    Would have preferred talking to the host over the phone and not chatting over WhatsApp. That was the only way of communicating.

    Perfect location. Safe walking distance to shops and restaurants. Staff was accommodating with our late checkin. Easy checkout process, just drop the keys in the box at the main gate.

    Water pressure in the shower was the only thing that was a little saddening, otherwise everything else was brilliant

    Absolutely clean and spacious setting, with just you surrounded by the sounds of nature. Really tranquil and perfect for a relaxing getaway

    We had to search for our key. The furniture is a little old. But for the money it was good.

    The location is very good. Right near many restaurants and in main street.

    Unfortunately we found the chalet lacking in some of the basics for self catering. The fridge is very small for a few days’ groceries for a family of 4, there wasn’t a salad bowl or steak knives, the kitchen and patio light didn’t work and the geazer overflow spouted hot water into our parking bay, so we had to park elsewhere. The chalet is uncomfortably hot during load shedding times, when the AC is off. The owner was however friendly and helpful, the bedding and towels clean and of good quality. The chalets are very close together with little privacy and it was a bit awkward having meals outside, along side the neighbours, as there aren’t seating inside. Otherwise we had an enjoyable stay, within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

    Clean chalet, enjoyed the large pool.

    The place was not clean especially the dish cloth had the unpleasant smell ,under the microwave was dirty even after the cleaning ppl came , all the dusty places were still the same. we had to buy washing soap to soak them as the dish washing liquid provided was not enough. It will also be nice if you could invest in the generator

    The setup for a family was nice and the location is next to most amenities which was a great thing.

    Only one that there was no top sheet on the bed. Not everyone likes to sleep under a duvet.
