I would have rated 10/10 if I had found that the linen was the same as the one seen online. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. So whoever books must call or write down the specifications they need otherwise they might be disappointed. Otherwise, our stay was very good :-)

The quietness of the area and cleanliness of the guesthouse. And the breakfast was awesome.
Nothing to be honest just that our neighbors at the guesthouse were noisy which affected our sleep.

Excellent breakfast , wide good range of options. I think the toppings for the Omlet however needs to be free/open ended. It is never a good thing to limit guests on what they would want to eat. You can also consider making available replacement options on your english breakfast...for those who do not take pork, instead of it being a default to Zulu Breakfast or Omlet. However, all in all the breafast is great and the portions are reasonable. Keep it up.
So far soo good. Few things to improve include: -Consideer installing power-back up inverter on the premises. Jus one 8kv and a Lithium Battery (Dyness, Pylontech or similar range) to ensure that there is consistent power during loadshedding times. One battery can power the entire area on key gadgets for more than 10 hrs. It is an embrassment for a facility of that level to be off, in times of loadshedding. -The etv was not playing properly, not sure what can be done about the network I would also encourage you to train staff regularly on things like customer care, problem solving, business etiquette etc so that they continue to improve their professionalism and hospitality skills. Contact me for more info: 081 432 1537

Everything was on point. Friendly ladies at reception. Easy to find (location) Very safe area. Peaceful and quiet. Very lovely and clean pool. I really enjoyed the breakfast. Forgot my jumpsuit by the pool, 2 days later I called them and it was in the lost and found items.
Had my breakfast with at 9am so there were no glasses, side plate at breakfast - had to ask for it but it was quickly brought to me. They also need to clean the tables soon as other guests have finished and left.

1. The staff members were very professional. 2. The room was well prepared with all that was needed in a room. 3. The breakfast was excellent.
There is a toilet at the back, the floor need serious attention as it is a health risk, my advice not to show it to your guest before you renovate the floor.

The facility is placed in excellent, quite and safe area. The receptionist Nomcebo was exceptional, she accepted our request and changed the room without any hassles.,and she allocated us the best room very spacious with sizeable bathroom having both the shower and bath tub. Secured parking guaranteed. Breakfast is value for money. The staff generally has excellent customer service, well mannered. I will definitely recommend this property to anyone
The noise from other guests in the early hours until we woke up around 06:00..

The pool area, deco is on point and peaceful. Good lighting and a great area to work outside or taking breakfast. The place is close to many amenities like restaurants, gas station, supermarket yet in a quiet and secluded area.
The fact that there was no hair dryer in the bedrooms and even in the guest house, incase you were from the swimming pool or washing your hair, hairdryer is a must in a guest house. Overall we were good with everything.
