"I did not enjoy it at all, purely because of the unkind and sarcastic comment made by Shaaron when we got there."

The intercom at the gate was not working when I got there. I had to look up the number on the internet and call to have the gate opened. The gate only opened halfway and I had to call again to have it fully opened so I could drive through. When I got to reception Shaaron sarcastically told me I should have pressed the "emergency" button and not the income button. No card facility. When I gave my card for the payment. Sharon: "It is a pity that people do not read the information supplied before they book." We checked in on Thursday which was a holiday. I got to Phumuza after work on Friday around 6pm and pressed the intercom (this time it worked). Shaaron answered and when I asked if she would open the gate she replied that it was not convenient for her and I had to wait for my husband to bring the remote. The kitchen leaves much to be desired. Two of the plates were cracked and a mug chipped. The knives are of poor quality and we did not dare to cut anything with them because they would break. I drove and went to buy steak knives. The camp chairs were dirty and the tray part of the chair was broken. The room is so cramped that the bunker bed is in front of the bathroom door. You have to push your hand through the bed rail to open the door. There are much better lodges for the same value of money in the area and I would recommend everyone to book somewhere other than Phumuza instead. There you will also have tranquility and a beautiful environment but definitely a friendlier reception.

"Disappointed."

We also made a reservation at the establishment for Friday evening, at R650 for a chalet for 2. My problem was not with the unit, but with the fact that there were no basic amenities. Although this is a self-catering unit, one would at least expect towels to be available. We realized this at 9 o'clock in the evening when we wanted to take a shower, and in the end my husband and I had to dry off with our clothes on. Had I been aware that there would be no towels, I would have packed. There wasn't even a piece of a dishtowel to wipe something with in the kitchen, nor a drop of soap. There was no extra bedding. 1 duvet for the double bed and 1 duvet for the single bed they put in there. I completely understand the concept of self-catering, but I have never experienced anything so primitive and we have stayed overnight in many self-catering places. On Saturday morning the managers/owners were not at their home and I called the lady and explained to her that I was unhappy and also why I was unhappy. She then informed me that it was self-catering and that they did not provide towels. However, she then offered to give us one of the log cabins for our Saturday night booking (the 23rd) at no extra charge. She asked that we please just have to give the unit a chance to be cleaned as there were people staying overnight on Friday night. I mentioned to her that we would not be back until later in the day as our son played rugby that day. On our return on Saturday afternoon at a quarter to four, the lady was waiting for us at the office. She then told me that she could not give us the larger unit as the people (who had stayed the night before) had decided to stay another night - this after she had promised us the unit - and that we have no choice but to spend the night again in the bedroom for 2. She then also pulled out a bunch of papers that supposedly confirm what is not in the units (including the towels) and claims that she sends out that breakdown with every booking confirmation. I then mentioned to her that I have my booking confirmation in my car and can show it to her, and that what she has there now is definitely NOT on my confirmation. She didn't even want to listen to me any further and just said she was sorry, we'll just have to take the unit. However, we then decided to drive home and returned her keys.
