The Chalets are lovely, basically a bachelor apartment with everything you need. The little back garden with the braai facility was an absolute bonus! So much space, thus good value for money.

If I have to say, if you are a local, maybe consider taking a fan with you during the warmer months. There is only a ceiling fan, but this is fine for most part of the year. For our locals, take your braai bak and some steak knives along, and don't forget the ice.

We could not have wished for a better stay. The property is set in beautiful gardens and the tranquility is a real tonic. Our self catering unit was well equipped and spotless. What made our stay however was the first class customer service. The staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

I liked the little garden for our puppy so much! It was perfect to have a braai and to have your puppy run around and be outside.

Nothing really bothered me.

Loved the location and pool area.

The self-catering accommodations were not well stocked in terms of kitchen utensils. There was one small pot and very little to cook with. We had to ask for more stuff, and even then what we were giving was extremely inadequate.
