    Be prepared for load shedding. No fault of establishment

    Was very comfortable, really felt at home.. Absolute value for money. The suburb is middle income, satisfactory . Not upmarket.. Don't really mind because going out visiting most of the day. Feel secure inside the complex. The apartment itself was well fitted, self catering and staff were excellent and friendly WiFi still available in spite of load shedding

    I liked that it was very close to 2 My City bus stops and if you are determined it is walking distance to lagoon beach. The towels were very plush and my view was nice since i had the room closest to the road.

    Doors and walls are paper thin, you do hear almost every noise from outside or surrounding guests, Cleanliness of the unit was not up to standard(far from it) (I'll spare the details and photos) Air-conditioning remote was not in the room, when asked, it was stated that the accommodation removed it due to the loadshedding for saving power due to Eskom. TV had some black "water mark" on it, spoiling the picture(this is known to the staff, yet it has still to be replaced.) A lot of the amneties/things inside the apartment that I was expecting was either broken, half broken or of poor quality because of the amount of times it was used before. The couch and the bed pillows were extremely uncomfortable. My gripe is that I expected an okay place from the photos and the actual apartment did not live up to it. Upon addressing the issue, the manager/owner kindly refunded my money for the remaining stay but told me that it is budget accommodation and you cant expect everything to be perfect. I did not expect luxury accommodation, but I do find it a bit strange that the sign outside said something along the line of "Luxurious self catering accommodation" On a last note, whatever fragrance was sprayed inside before arrival (was really overpowering and unpleasant(for a whole 2 days) I appreciate the quick and painless conflict resolution, unfortunately this is not accommodation that I would return to. I hope that this will help you improve and provide future guests with a better stay than I had.

    Price of accommodation Friendly and courteous staff Conflict resolution

    The place was totally not what we expected to find. The staff was very incompetent, starting from the so-called receptionist who came to knock at our door disrespectfully on the day of our check-out. Furthermore, on our second day at the place to our surprise the place had requested for maintenance people to come and do a ceiling job in some apartments including the one that was currently occupied by us! Mind you that I have got a sinus infection. There was no sort of communication for this inconvenience because it seems like these people don't rate or have any form of respect for their guests! Moving on, to how filthy the 'Luxury' apartment was on the day of our arrival and the amount of appliances such as, the air conditioner, geyser monitor, TV, etc. which were were outdated and most of them did not even work. There was no cleaning equipment available in the apartment as well as no iron or hair dryer. This was the worst stay that I ever encountered as a genius 3 member of booking.com!

    Only the wifi was satisfactory.

    Firstly they placed us in the wrong room. Upon complaining about how dirty it was and how several things were missing and broken, they offered the room initially assigned to us according to the agreement I signed. We started off on the wrong foot & everything just went downhill from there.

    Their wifi is backed-up, as we had loadshedding however, no interrupted connection.
