10 guests' feedbackEverything was amazing! Very peaceful atmosphere and very comfortable. The only thing that wasn't so great was the hard bed.
My stay here was great, even though it was cut short due to circumstances beyond their control. It's great value for money.
Carla and Philip were really good host and lady. Would really prefer a full size duvet on the bed. Otherwise all good.
Everything was very well appointed. The only criticism is that there is too little parking.
Quiet time spent in the forest. Saw many animals and really enjoyed the time there. Sorry there was no restaurant open during our stay. There is also no mini-kitchen - just a fridge and coffee station. We did get necessities from the kitchen. No towel rails in the bathroom.
The accommodation was not specifically advertised as a bed and breakfast. There is no kitchenette.
Horrible, not pleasing.
Enjoyed the stay. However, the resort is not properly advertised in the sense that it is a bed and breakfast, but the breakfast was not available. WiFi is very poor or nonexistent. There was no mention that guests need to use their own DStv or Netflix account details to connect. There was also no basic soap or hand wash in the bathrooms.
Comfortable. WiFi was too slow to use the smart tv. Download tv was only option. The main entertainment area is deathly quiet with no staff in attendance. Found it strange to supply guests with gowns but no soap.
We were the only guests. We were given the darkest room out of all the rooms. There was no view because of an outside shower wall. We had to pay R275 for a very basic breakfast. We were not impressed.
