    The rooms could be a bit more isolated from one another to ensure sound from one room doesn't reach the other rooms. The owner could have provided some additional toiletries since these are often the things one doesn't have right away when travelling.

    The location was good, although a bit far from central places. The most convenient and closest facility for shopping is Galleria mall. It's generally very quiet. The owners are very friendly, warm and welcoming.

    Network coverage was an issue so we struggled with cellphone reception. I would also like to propose that if people stay more than 5 days at least the rooms be fully cleaned at least once.

    Perfect location in terms of exploring the South Coast, easy access via N2 and other routes. The hosts are very welcoming and nice people, they took good care of us.

    1. Green room that I used for the 1st 2 nights was not so friendly, does not have a space for a chair to relax in the room. I also found it difficult to sleep in a single bed.

    The quietness, bushes, antiques and the fish pond.

    The place itself was nice but part of the road was bit damage. The host is very knowledgeable and can help you find activities near you. The driveway is a bit steeper than it appears on the photo so just a heads up for people driving lower vehicles

    The rooms didnt have its own TV atleast, and the bathroom is open right next to the bed, room was very small, and sharing 1 fridge with other guests aint easy. It helps having alil bar fridge atleast in the room, to keep ice water or something to drink without having to put on clothes just to go to the fridge

    Its tranquil and peaceful, great location, host was friendly and welcoming, very calming, was also very clean in the room.

    Can't recommend Serendipity for allergy sufferers. Due to the damp surroundings, the place is not hypoallergenic and there is a huge mosquito problem. Window nets and plug-in repellants would have made a difference.

    Nice forest location, comfortable beds, and a very welcoming host. The place seems to be filled with history everywhere you look. The built-in aquarium is relaxing to look at.

    Because all the holiday makers can use the kitchen they don’t always keep it neat and the utensils and crockery was in the cupboards were dirty. We had to keep out crockery and cutlery with us till we left

    The host Ant was very friendly and helpful. The property feels like a home - not a holiday destination. There are a lot of things available to do - like playing games, chess, access to a lot of books and magazines and the property has an amazing view
