    Just needed a private fridge but it's no train smash as my host advised it was gone for fixing so I understood and was given an option to use the main one which is a solution

    Great Host and the premises itself ,you feel at home and the host makes you enjoy your stay with the freedom he gives you ,shout out to you Larney

    The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that the beding was not catered for the way I liked.its to old school the mattresses were not up to standard pots cutlery, coffee materials were not organized. But any thing else okay 👍

    What I liked the most about the place was the fact that it's a very peaceful quiet injoyable and relaxing place.so I wouldn't mind visiting the place again. Also loved the packages provided the wifi d.s.so I enjoyed my stay and thank you for the amazing time.

    Booked VFL for 3 nights stay for my parents. Jared was remarkable with his communication with me from day one until my parents arrived. He upgraded their room with no additional cost. They simply loved the place. Sadly, upon checkout, they only noticed there was a menu that they could order from the kitchen. The pool wasn't too clean but it could be because there was rain the week that they visited. The rooms had aircon, which was a relief and a lovely, big, comfortable bed with kettle, tv, and view of the pool. This place was monies worth. I usually travel with them, but I was happy with the assistance from Jared, and I know that they were going to be well taken care of if any issues arose. Give VFL a try. I know we will for a quick, inexpensive trip.

    The TV was at a bit of an odd angle making it difficult to watch. The backyard area of the room was also smaller than expected however the front pool area did make up for it

    The pool area was good. Nice big pool The beds were comfortable

    The rooms aren't as modern as one would expect, the bed and pillows were uncomfortable

    Great location close to the many restaurants and shopping centre's. The Front of house was lovely and tried to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

    Communication with the lodge didn't work well because they hardly respond to messages sent via booking.com Room #6 isn't a great room to be honest. Had a couple of cockroaches and the fridge wasn't clean

    It's a beautiful lodge in a quiet and safe area.

    There's room for improvement. The rooms can look better in that the furniture can be upgraded if it's gonna be classified as a 4-star facility. The facility works well for 1 night only stay. But they're not that comfy for a family staying more than a night.

    They staff and their hospitality. Location

    Although their kitchen has everything that one needs it could do with an upgrade. Please put atleast an extra roll of toilet paper in the rooms

    The environment is safe, peaceful and clean. Staff was super friendly. They went over and above to make us feel comfortable during our stay
