"Fantastic property that needs a bit of revamp and better management."

We arrived at 5 in the afternoon on the day of checking in after being asked to delay our 14:00 planned arrival as the previous guests had not checked out on time and cleaning was still in process. On arrival we found the property still being occupied by 14 very unpleasant people and all their stuff! The management was no where to be seen and we had to tell these disgruntled people in no uncertain terms to get out. Cleaning was hurriedly going on around them in an effort to get the place ready for us. This crowd also made off with some of the swim towels and all the bathroom toiletries! This property is really well planned and has lots to offer. The furniture in the lounge is in dire need of replacement, as both the sofas have seen better days. We also found a lot of the glassware and crockery chipped or cracked and that for a house that sleeps 12, there were only 9 forks and 6 spoons! I asked the manager Lynette to sort this out, which she did quite quickly the next day. I booked and paid for daily cleaning on arrival, but was only informed on the public holiday that no service will be done (money was refunded). Also, despite asking cleaning staff to pick up rubbish around the house, my niece still collected a whole bag of rubbish next to the walkways - empty custard cartons, bread bags, foil and cigarette butts everywhere! The game drive vehicle also was left full of rubbish and with no fuel. I think that the management of the property can improve a lot - they did bring us extra toilet paper late one afternoon on request - but this was asked from the cleaning staff during the day and never actioned at the time. Despite a good turn around response on all the issues from Lynette, I feel that for this kind of premium property, these things should not even be an issue. I don't have cracked and chipped plates and cups at home, why should this be acceptable in paying accommodation? I would suggest the owners have a visit and make some improvements!
