"Overall stay was good, however the Owner was very rude and disrespectful."

We got married the Saturday and left for the retreat Sunday afternoon for a quick honeymoon getaway. We travelled from Cape Town and got to the retreat just after 21:00. There is no mobile signal on the retreat and it was also load shedding when we got there. As the booking page does not specify which unit our stay was in, we figured we'd pull up to reception and find out. It was already dark so visibility was poor. I pulled up to reception and knocked on the door with no response. The manager on duty's phone number was on the door but as mentioned there was no mobile signal at the retreat. After exhausting all options I decided to hoot to get someone's attention. We were really just trying to get to our unit. The owner comes out of the house basically yelling at me as I tried to explain to her that I knocked, there was no signal, visibility is poor, and the website did not specify which unit to go to (and even if it did, I still wouldn't have found the unit as visibility was poor). I asked her politely to calm down because we just trying to get to our place. The disrespect towards me was unreal. I've booked on the website many times before, and not once was I disrespected in this manner. She rudely told me that her kids are sleeping and there are other guests. We were also guests and we just got there and that was the welcome we received. The manager then showed up and she rudely told the manager, "Alexander speak to these people!" as if we were trash. So now hear me out, it is not in my nature to be hooting in front of people's places, that was honestly the last resort. You are in the hospitality industry and your booking in times are from 14:00 to 122:00. We got there before 22:00, so we expected to be assisted upon arrival. The rudeness and disrespect from this owner was unreal. The manager then escorted us to our unit. The manager was very friendly. Everything about this place was absolutely amazing, we enjoyed our honeymoon. So my advice, before you hit the gravel road to the retreat there's a phone number on the board. Call and ask to speak to Alexander (the manager). Do this before you turn right into the retreat, as mentioned there's no signal. Have Alexander await you upon arrival so that you avoid interaction with the extremely rude owner at all cost. She should be ashamed of herself. Small-town mentality looking down on other people. Ms owner, I really hope you read this review, your attitude stinks and you have no way to speak to people.

"Blissful nature, with a few snags."

Cederkloof is wonderfully located - neatly tucked away on the hills of Citrusdal. We stayed in unit 6 and upon arrival around 7 pm, the key was left in the door as promised. The unit smelt strongly of fire which was a bit overwhelming. Overall the unit was well equipped with all that is needed for self-catering. A big disappointment was discovering that our Jacuzzi would not switch on, in spite of wall plug being on. We contacted Yvette and she showed up at our unit within 5 minutes (she lives on site at unit 10). This was great and we were quickly told that the guests who had stayed over the night before must have switched off the Jacuzzi on the Jacuzzi's power box as opposed to the wall plug as instructed. We were delighted and looked forward to a night under the stars in the Jacuzzi. This too, was not to be. Next disappointment was the Jacuzzi subsequently not heating up. It remained on for more than 2 hrs and remained cold. We alerted Yvette who promised that someone would come out in the morning. The Jacuzzi debacle continued on until 5 pm the following day, meaning we had essentially lost a night and a full day of use of the Jacuzzi (which may I add, was the primary reason we had chosen Cederkloof). Nevertheless, following the efforts of 3 maintenance guys, the Jacuzzi was fixed around sunset, and we tried to make the most of the time we had left. Hats off to Yvette who expressed her sincerest apologies and made great strides to make up for the time we had lost. Our experience quickly turned around and Yvette was more than willing to grant us additional time on the Sunday which we made full use of. Cleanliness of the bathroom was the only real negative I walk away with. The shower was in dire need of a scrub - grime and mould was very visible, tiles along the bath and walls were dirty, wash basin too needed a good scrub, and the floors were in need of a good sweep and mop. Minor changes and improvements on cleanliness will undoubtedly allow for an even better stay! (Lastly, though promised, cleaning services on the Saturday morning did not in fact pitch). In spite of it all, I would definitely return. Positive and fair feedback can only lead to future enhancements and advancements.
