"There is a lot of room for improvement."

On the positive side: friendly reception, the unit was clean, there was coffee, tea and milk there to make something to drink on arrival. Something that was unusual was that we got a discount for our long stay. It was not necessary. Should it have compensated for something? But, unfortunately, there were also a few snags. We only became aware at a late stage that there were only SABC TV channels available. If we were to cancel then it would have been accompanied by a financial loss for us. Looking at the description on the web page, this was not obvious. Honestly, there is a moral obligation on the owners to highlight their somewhat sub-standard amenities when the quote is sent out. The thought that one would be able to watch rugby at a sports bar was also just a thought, because they only showed the SA matches. It was advertised as a self-catering unit, but the small fridge was really inadequate. It was known how long we would stay (6 nights) and therefore it went without saying that we would bring frozen food. We also couldn't buy ice because we couldn't keep it anywhere. It would have been nice if there were small plates, a normal size cutting board and a bread knife. Apart from a hand-broom and shovel, there was nothing available to clean the unit with. There was also no cleaning service. Normally, one does not have to get by with one single set of towels for 6 nights. There is a fundamental safety problem with the electricity kicking off because the earth leakage 'trips'. This appears to be a known problem as there is a notice on it that the switchboard is in the lower unit. It's really not a comfortable situation if the people in the lower unit are not part of your own holiday group.
