    Nothing - all was perfect

    What an absolutely amazing holiday home , modern decor throughout , awesome location with beautiful views . Juliette - the staff member that was looking after the home was just incredible , always smiling and so helpfully . We took our kids horse riding , the staff member in charge of the horses was very helpful and knowledgeable.

    However, my experience was marred by some significant disappointments. The lodge lacked basic amenities such as electricity and gas, leaving us in the cold and darkness. Despite these inconveniences, what was truly disheartening was the manager's lack of apology or acknowledgment of the situation.

    beautiful lodge nestled in nature's embrace, and while its rustic charm and breathtaking views were undeniable

    Facilities are poor or not working. No attention given to alternate energy sources and no way to make contact for assistance. A very unpleasant stay due to 6 hours of no electricity and no provision made for even battery operated lights - all while the rest of the property is solar equipped except Stoneford Lodge.

    Having been to Star Dam previously, I am aware of how beautiful it is. Severely deteriorating since a year and a half ago.

    The doors did not lock in the house, which left us paranoid especially at night and with small kids. The oven, dishwasher was broken and needs maintenance. The road to the lodge was horrible. Nobody had informed us about a button to get hot water upon check in, which left us showering with cold water.

    The views are beautiful, the staff were helpful, the house was comfortable

    The road leading to the place was terrible. I wish the could have told us that it's a 4X4 trail drive.

    I loved the place , and our kid's also loved it so much. The dam, fishing was an added bonus.

    The outside deck was not clean, the chairs were filled with bird poop. I'm not sure if they were aware we were coming because there were alot of dead insects on the floor and on the curtains, wasn't really cleaned before our arrival as it seemed there was no bookings for a while. As much as the aim is to take a break away from home, atleast have updated games available, wasn't happy with what was provided.

    I love the location, very refreshing. Staff were very friendly and attended to all our requests and questions.. Very helpful.

    Not really a dislike, but it would be good to make 4x4 vehicle compulsory just in case it rains.

    The roads leading to the estate needs some serious attention. If you are using a car with a low suspension it will not survive especially when its raining.

    The location is very serene and tranquil. There is no cellphone network which makes it more great if you want to rest and bond with your loved ones.

    the road in the estate could definitely be modernised and not be so muddy and rocky.

    being surrounded by nature was impeccable. there was so much consideration in the design of the property around the river. Each house felt private and that was important to us.
