152 guests' feedbackWe could find absolutely nothing wrong with the stay. The place is very pleasant and clean and tidy. The bed sleeps so well, almost like the one at my house. I would definitely recommend the place.
Yes thank you very much we booked the place for my son's parents and they were very satisfied. Thanks to all of you.
Here you become human again in the silence and tranquility of the forest. We enjoyed our stay incredibly. Will visit Utara again.
Santie is genuinely friendly and made sure that everything was ready for our arrival. The units are spacious and beautifully maintained. For a nature lover it is a paradise. The air conditioner provided a lovely coolness after the heat outside. I would definitely recommend it and visit again. Thank you.
Everything was as in the photos. It's awesome. Feel safe, pool is clean, you can keep yourself busy and enjoy. For a getaway and looking for tranquility this is the place to go. For sure.
Great visit with friends. Lapa area is awesome. Clean, tidy and enough kindling until late in the evening for a visit. Beautiful, neatly maintained game farm.
We had a very nice stay.
Extremely disappointing that we were immediately informed that we are not allowed to drive through the game reserve. We specifically chose the place because it advertises that it is a "Game" farm. You also drive through a settlement to get to the farm, not at all safe at night. No provision is made for load shedding and we are also not informed when load shedding is.
The venue is located on the outskirts of town, and one has to travel through informal settlements to get there. The unit was very basic, with only a bed and two office chairs as seating inside. There was no comfortable couch to sit on inside. Two plastic chairs with a table outside were the alternative. The landlady was not very friendly upon arrival and did not enquire about our stay upon departure. The unit was not cleaned once the entire time we were there, which I don't mind, but if it was clean from the beginning, that would not have bothered me. It's a thatch roof unit and had cobwebs and spiders everywhere. The bed was clean but very old and worn out, and we struggled to sleep comfortably. Overall, the stay was manageable, but I would not book again. We were disappointed and expected more.
What a getaway! Santie, thank you very much for the treat and experience. Everything is neat, clean and very peaceful. Would recommend anytime.
Very neat. Very peaceful place to break away from the city.
The farm is really very neat. Lovely gardens and we were able to see the wildlife up close. There are beautiful antelopes and we will definitely visit again.
The accommodation was very clean and equipped with everything you need. Walton in the town's meat is top notch and they sell good braai wood. We saw many new birds and you could walk around in the field.
Santie was incredibly hospitable, I even returned home with a whole nursery. Haven't seen so many different birds in one place for a long time. Accommodation was comfortable and we could have a great barbecue, swim and walk in the field. We will definitely want to visit Santie again.
Very suitable for family gatherings or groups. Cottages are well appointed and have everything and more that is needed. Thank you for the hospitality.
All that one needs. You literally just take your food and drinks with you. Safe and worth it for sure. The fresh air makes a difference when you are tired of the city.
We really enjoyed our time at Utara. For two city lads it was a much needed break. We had a great time reading by the pool and went for nice walks. Utara's premises are beautiful and Santie has the most beautiful gardens! With the fact that Naboom is only about 2 hours from Pretoria it makes an ideal getaway.
Wonderful place. Santie is the best hostess. Place's cleanliness is of another world.
This is no reflection on the accommodation. The roads in Mokopane are in a very poor condition.
Very friendly. Provide for one's needs.
Santie is a wonderful and friendly hostess and came regularly to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we might need. The houses were very neat and the pool and garden beautifully maintained. Utara is truly a gem in the Bosveld and we will definitely be staying there again in the future.
The road to the place does not look good but when you hit the red ground. and turn right into Utara. it's like a paradise. the garden is beautiful. the welcome so friendly. and the accommodation very clean, very spacious. Everything that you need to have a good break.
A neat resort with beautiful gardens and a nice pool to cool off in. A resort that is not overcrowded and where one can still find silence.
Clean and quiet, hostess pleasant.
Hostess is very friendly and helpful. Wildlife is exceptional and many rare species can be seen.
Very clean and peaceful place. The garden is beautiful and neat. The owner made us feel very welcome. Would love to visit there again.
It is a very nice place with very nice people who run the place.
The only problem is privacy with 2 bedroom chalets if 2 pairs of adults have to stay. Would appreciate if at least 1 bedroom is closed.
See stars.
My granddaughter and I had a great time relaxing. Laid in the pool, read, watched birds and chatted until late at night by our campfire.
The location is very good.
This is home away from home - just better. From the moment Santie welcomed us, showed us around, to the moment we handed the keys back to her, we enjoyed every moment. For a couple, family or a group, this is the place to be. You can walk and cycle if the roads are not too wet, or chill next to the swimming pool or under the huge lapa. Braai facilities all over, jungle gym for kids; pool table for dad. Bungalow well equipped, even an air conditioner and a ceiling fan. Big enough to be inside when it rains. I definitely recommend Utara to anyone who want to unwind.
Neat units. Santie is a good hostess, friendly and does a lot to make you feel welcome. Thank you very much Santie.
Had a great stay and will do so again.
After a long drive from Pretoria it was like an oasis to drive into Utara, immediately relaxing, lovely time by the pool, beautiful garden. The rondavel was neat, linen was nice and clean and for me it was a wonderful experience to relax.
The service from Santie was great. She is friendly and very spontaneous. It's peaceful and if you really just want to de-stress and relax, Utara is the place for you. The natural beauty. Bird life and peaceful atmosphere will make you relax and you will simply have new energy after your stay at Utara.
Very nice, hospitality and it's fantastic getaway.
The accommodation is comfortable, neat, spacious, well equipped and our unit is serviced daily. The garden and trees, layout, the large lapa and pool area are all neatly maintained and a loop court. The hostess, Santie made our stay even more pleasant with extras and care. Liesbet who services the rooms does an excellent job of keeping everything perfect. Utara is only 3 km from the town of Mookgopong-Naboomspruit, well located and for our purposes for a place of rest it was absolutely perfect. It is great value for money. Thank you Santi! If we have to come to the North again, Utara is our only option to stay.
It was very peaceful and very tidy, the owners made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed it very much, will definitely go again and recommend the place with pleasure. Really value for money.
Beautiful and owner is a heart person.
The accommodation was very neat and it's nice and quiet! Nice break from the city.
We were received very kindly by the hostess Santie and immediately felt at home. Her garden is beautiful and neat. Was really surprised to see the place. It is absolutely ideal for groups or family gatherings. Lovely big lapa and braai place. Snooker table to keep everyone busy. The chalets are all around the pool. Thank you Santie, we really enjoyed our stay with you.
The chalets are nice and big and beautifully clean and tidy. Everything you need for self-catering accommodation. Close to Mokgophong and other towns in the area. Santie, the hostess is very helpful and friendly and contributed to making our stay there a pleasure. Would recommend the place and stay there again when the opportunity arises. Has a nice little pool that is fenced off safely for small children. The beautiful gardens and lawns are a feast for the eyes and fun to walk around in.
Host and hostess went out of their way to make us feel at home. They truly went the extra mile. Place is neat, clean and safe. Will visit again for sure. Thank you very much.
Nice quiet. Hospitable owners.
Santie and Hennie made the reception and stay particularly pleasant. The unit is well cared for and maintained and very nice and clean. The gardens create a special tranquility and are very well maintained. We will definitely visit there again.
We were very late on Friday night. I let them know we wouldn't be arriving until 9pm. Upon our arrival they were waiting for us and warmly welcomed us. Our accommodation pointed out. It was bloody hot. What a nice surprise to walk into our unit and it was wonderfully cool. They turned on the air conditioning before we arrived. Place was silver clean. 10/10. We had a nice barbecue, swam and just rested. 10/10. Will definitely go there again to relax.
We were warmly welcomed and our chalet was the cleanest place we have ever stayed, even the curtains did not have a spec of dust! It is wonderfully quiet, there is a hiking trail to walk between the wildlife. Braai facilities are roofed.
Very relaxing. The owners are very friendly and hospitable. Chalet is neat, there is everything you need. The garden and grass is beautiful. Will recommend Utara anytime. We will definitely go there for a weekend. Thank you very much, Santie and Hennie.
Very good friendly owners.
It was wonderful for us and we will definitely go again because the bird life there is special. The young couple who were with us ticked off 30 new species on their list and we were ecstatic about the European night owl that lives there. Bed linen is important to me and this was excellent. Santie and Hennie were a pleasant host/wife pair. For bird watchers, the farm is a must on your list. They even took us on a game drive.
Was a lovely rest. The farm is very neat and peaceful. Would love to stay longer. Thank you Santie for your hospitality.
If you like walking, birds, wildlife and tranquility this is the place for you.
Very friendly people. Clean. Safe. Tidy. Restful. Very good value for money.
Neat accommodation. Beautiful surroundings. Owners go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. A place we will visit again. Ideal for family outings.
Neat and peaceful with a breathtaking location. Good break from the busy city. Great place to relax. The owners are very nice and hospitable.
Utara is a beautiful piece of land with incredibly neatly maintained gardens and facilities. We rode the mountain bikes every day in the wildlife camps and saw a variety of animals each time. We were even able to help feed the goats which my 7 year old son really enjoyed.
We didn't realize it was a hunting farm. Would like to see some animals, but not allowed to drive on the farm with own vehicle. The owner was kind enough to take us with her when she put out feed, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to see anything.
Santie's paintings are phenomenal! Feel free to buy at very good prices.
Neat, spacious and peaceful getaway from the busy city life. If you want to rest, Utara Wildsplaas is the place to go.
The reception was very friendly. The chalet was clean and tidy. The lawns and gardens are as beautiful as on their pictures. Everything so clean and tidy. Definitely enjoy. Peace and quiet. The 2 boys especially enjoyed the ride with the owner to go feed the goats as well as watching how they plant the grass for the animals. Will definitely go again.
The hosts went out of their way to make everything as comfortable as possible. We had everything we paid for. This establishment is without a doubt superb and everything was just perfect. We would definitely recommend Utara and would go there again. Thank you for not having a TV there - we were able to enjoy each other's company. Thank you for your friendliness and hospitality.
We enjoyed our weekend away very much. Our hosts went out of their way to make us feel at home and to see to our needs. There is a beautiful footpath through the bushveld and the surroundings are beautiful. We will definitely go back.
Was clean and comfortable and the owner made you feel welcome and helped where possible.
One of my nicest and most peaceful holidays where I could charge batteries. Would recommend Utara Game Farm to any couple or even singles. Clean and tidy with helpful and friendly owners. Very peaceful atmosphere for a nice rest.
Very neat rondavel houses. Swimming pool is nearby and there is a climbing frame for the little ones. Feel like you're in the wildlife park at a quarter of the price! Service is warm and friendly! Would definitely want to spend a long weekend there!
Good service and friendly.
Please note that this is a self-catering unit, so please don't forget to take all you need. Area is quite and peaceful. Rustic farm setting with a stunning view of the stars.
This is the most beautiful place! Friendliest service! Very peaceful environment! Top class accommodation!
As soon as we stepped in, we were greeted very kindly by the hostess, who accompanied us to the chalet to explain everything. What a beautiful and neat chalet. It made us feel like we landed in a five star accommodation unit. The site is very neat with beautiful gardens and all facilities were at our disposal. Host and hostess were very friendly and helpful throughout. As the saying goes: "Give that man a Bell's" but in this case: "Give them both a Bell's".
Getting to the venue is a let down, not due to the owners of Utara, but the municipality of Naboomspruit. The road passes an informal settlement and there is a lot of garbage on the road side. Look pass this part of your journey and when you get to Utara you will enter an oasis. The grounds are clean and well kept. Green grass wherever you look and the garden layout is excellent. The accommodation is clean and has all the basics that you would need for your stay. A lovely venue for a family gathering. There are chalets and camping sites with ablution facilities. Santie, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. I will recommend this venue any time.
We were kindly received by Tannie Santie. We really had a wonderful weekend, kids enjoyed the freedom and we were therefore able to rest. The cottage and bedding were clean and we enjoyed our stay. If we could we would've loved to stay longer! It is on a farm, so make provision for flies, mosquitoes and moths.
Santi. Our hostess. Made us feel very much at home. We were greeted with friendly faces and enjoyed the feeling of life and animals everywhere. Nice and small place. Was truly a pleasure and had a great time. Thank you very much.
We will definitely go back to Utara again for a break from the city. Environment/farm quiet and well maintained.
We were out all day, but had a nice barbecue in the evenings at our house. We did not use any other facilities at the farm.
See stars.
The chalets are beautifully clean and serviced every day. The braai places and boma at the houses are delicious and we also used the lapa facilities to braai together as a group. It is for sure a very nice place to stay and absolutely value for money.
Reception was good. Accommodation excellent.
Had a great stay. Quiet area.
We were welcomed warmly. The farm is very quiet and really offers space to breathe. The chalet has the basic necessities and no luxuries, but we would recommend it as a place to relax.
Nice weekend getaway not far out of town. We were pleasantly spoiled by Hennie who took us on a game drive. Well-tended gardens create a peaceful atmosphere. However, safety is an issue, but it seems to be being addressed. Maybe they can think of canopies for vehicles? Even if parking is not at every chalet, but maybe in a specific place, it will give peace of mind if the thunder and hail is a possibility. Light footpaths to large walking paths may be considered.
It was a big concern for us to see that the place is located near an informal settlement. The road to it (near the farm, not the farm itself) is littered with ash heaps from the informal settlement.
The owners are extremely hospitable and helpful. It is obviously very dry on the farm, but the scenery is still very beautiful. I saw a lot of small game and it's very quiet and peaceful.
The tranquillity is wonderful. Santie and her family were very helpful and friendly, thank you for a wonderful time.
Thank you, aunt Santie, for a wonderful 3 days of rest, enjoyed every moment. Will visit again.
From the friendly reception throughout the weekend, the personal attention of the owners was really pleasant, without intruding on our stay at all. The resort is a gem for someone who wants to get away for peace and quiet. If you want to enjoy the weekend among a bunch of noise holes, Utara is not the place for you. If you want to make noise and listen to doof-doof from a radio or TV all weekend, Utarar is not the place for you. I believe people come here for peace and quiet and alone time with the opportunity to socialize and enjoy the wildlife on the farm. We will visit there again and again.
Enjoyed the stay, peaceful, beautiful, neat and clean.
Great place to relax and get away from the city! Owners are friendly and make the experience very special! My mother and I really enjoyed our 'girls weekend'! Will definitely come again and recommend the place to my friends!
Was very nice and peaceful, can pretend it's your place. Owners very welcoming and friendly. No matter what you ask for, they have it all. Nice break and wildlife was beautiful. Feel free to go.
Thank you very much. Everything just licks!
We really enjoyed our time there and Santie put so much effort into making our time there special, we were sad when our time there came to an end.
Our hostess, Santie, is a genuine, friendly person, always ready to help, if needed. Many thanks for the 2 x game drives that were included in the weekend, the beautiful breeding animals and the most beautiful, green garden! Lovely, ideal for spoiling your partner!
Very friendly hosts, the place is very relaxing. Directions to the place is not sufficient.
Thank you to Santie and Hennie for the opportunity to share your piece of tranquility. It was so wonderful and we will definitely be back. Would recommend it for sure. The hostess is friendly and helpful, the units contain everything one needs, especially quiet. Very neat and clean.
This is a place where you can rest, it is a place to clear your head and recharge. Making a nice fire and grilling meat is very nice without TV. The place is very nice and clean.
The farm is beautifully maintained. The gardens between the chalets and the swimming pool area is a green paradise. Santie is very hospitable, friendly and helpful. She goes out of her way to make one feel at home. The children thoroughly enjoyed the pool and play area. Would definitely visit Utara again.
We really enjoyed it. The owners were very hospitable and made us feel welcome. Would recommend any time to those who want to enjoy activities in the area.
It was a pleasant stay. Chalet has everything needed and is clean and tidy. The owners are very friendly and helpful, it felt like we were part of their family. The recreation area is very neat with the most beautiful gardens. Looking forward to visit Utara for weekend with my family.
Homely, friendly people. Clean, tidy accommodation and relaxation!
We had a nice rest in the forest. Children really enjoyed the farm and game drives! The cleaning service and air conditioning in the chalets is a bonus! People are very friendly and hospitable and chalets and camp are clean and tidy. Thank you for a lovely weekend.
Received very friendly and relaxed and enjoyed the garden and field.
Prompt and friendly service.
The owners' hospitality was wonderful. The gardens are stunning, they just could've gotten better knives and forks, very flimsy, I was scared they would break. The rest was clean and neat.
See stars.
Very friendly people, helpful and peaceful silence.
Had a great sleep. Very friendly welcome. Good service.
It was nice, peaceful, quiet and relaxing.
If you want to shake off the city life and clear your mind in a very clean and tidy place then this is the place. Thank you very much Santie for such an opportunity, we really enjoyed it.
The had lots of rain right before we arrived. The roads in the veld were not navigable which also made it difficult to hike.
The atmosphere was absolutely peaceful, beautiful spacious chalets, beautiful gardens, the owners were incredibly friendly and helpful and we had such a nice time with them. First holiday place where we arrive and there's fresh flowers in the room.
Utara met all our expectations. Quiet and peaceful, neat and hospitable. Furnished with everything one could need. Each cottage has its own comfortable braai area. The open-plan room-kitchen is wonderfully spacious and contributes to the feeling of tranquility. Definitely very family friendly too. Can highly recommend it to people who want to get away from all the hustle and bustle.
Thank you very much. My husband and I enjoyed it very much, and was very impressed with our accommodation.
We stayed at Utara during the Kaboemfees. Henk and Santie received us warmly. Comfortable accommodation, clean, neat, and had everything we needed. Will definitely recommend Utara!
Rondawel is very convenient and clean. Owners were very friendly and helpful, asked if everything was fine daily.
It was a wonderful weekend with a peaceful atmosphere. The owners are so friendly and helpful. Absolutely go out of their way to accommodate everyone. The peaceful atmosphere is wonderful. Clean chalets and lounge areas. Will definitely go again for a break from the city.
We enjoyed it so much! Quiet and peaceful and the people are friendly. Will go stay there again.
Our reception was very friendly! Hennie and Santie do everything in their power to make everything run smoothly. They are both friendly and helpful. The fact that there is no TV or other sound equipment brings back the tranquility, away from everyday hustle and bustle. It only allows you to rediscover yourself and give more time to your loved ones. I will visit Utara again anytime and also recommend it to other people.
Friendly host and hostess. Peaceful farm life with domesticated animals and exotic wildlife.
At least look for music. Could have brought their own radio knowing there is no TV or radio here. Presentation: In your advertisement it is mentioned that it is nice and quiet, but bring your own small radio for news. The ground zinc plate scares many people off at first. It shakes a city car that all the screws come loose. Now it costs money again for a new vehicle service.
My husband and I were very fortunate to visit Utara over the Easter weekend. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" is all we can say. From the beginning to the end. Hennie and Santie, you are just a blessing to our people who can come to rest with you. We long for and miss Utara already. I am already going to make another reservation on Monday for May and then again in August. It's the place to rest and relax. Thank you very much Hennie and Santie, you are beyond awesome! Number 3 has my name on it!
We found the owner and his wife very hospitable and friendly. One can see that Utara is very well maintained. We will certainly recommend our friends to make use of this facility. We did find the tariff we paid very reasonable! We are sure it is also within the reach of the average weekender. May they be blessed!
Hospitable, quiet and relaxing. Highly recommended and will be back.
I can definitely recommend Utara. The chalets are comfortable and the scenery creates the feeling that you have broken away somewhere deep in the forest. I haven't relaxed so much in a long time.
Expectation to experience game farm was a bit of a disappointment. Gardens well maintained. Swimming pool provided welcome relief.
If you live in Pretoria or the surrounding area and you are tired of the constant barking of your neighbour's dog, motorbikes up and down the street, never-ending traffic noise and cars/ambulances with sirens, Utara is the right place for you. It's as if you close a door behind you and only experience the silence of the forest. Hennie and Santie (owners) will welcome you with open arms and go out of their way to make the time there as pleasant as possible. The accommodation is spacious, neat and comfortable and we can recommend the place with the greatest confidence.
The rondavel was well equipped, although I would have preferred a security door and burglar bars. The owners were very hospitable and did everything possible to make our stay pleasant. The uncle also took us out on a game drive and explained the workings of the farm and it was very interesting, as well as the cattle auction. Thank you very much, we had a great rest and are now ready for city life again.
Utara is an awesome getaway. The area is tranquil and the fact that it doesn't get overcrowded is great. I loved my stay there with my kids. My kids also loved the place. We were warmly welcomed and I felt right at home. I would recommend Utara to anyone wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle. Also they are centrally located so one can go on day outings to all the places in the surrounding area.
My wife and I really enjoyed the tranquility of the resort. The facilities and surroundings were very neat and clean. The chalet and braai area were cleaned promptly every morning. Hennie (the host) took us for a game drive in the big game camp one morning. Giraffes, impalas, sables, nyalas and zebras were seen during the drive. Santie (the hostess) made sure we had everything we needed. The pool table has also tested and improved our snooker ingenuity.
Our host and hostess are indescribably friendly and helpful. We just broke away from the city and went to experience the earthly silence and rest. The housing units were impeccably clean. They will see us again soon. Thank you Hennie and Santie for your hospitality.
Utara is a lovely, quiet getaway from the city and its noise. The chalet is fully equipped and is very tidy. We will definitely stay at Utara again and will recommend it to all our friends.
Wonderful people, very hospitable, lovely farm and lovely rondavels. Great sleep and rest!
I think they might just do something about house 4's bed. The mattress is fine but the bed creaks terribly. And then maybe an aircon - it's damn hot and you don't feel like opening the windows for your own safety as there are no burglar bars in front. So our night's rest was not very good.
The owner and his wife are very friendly and helpful. The chalet was neat. The gardens are stunning. I was lucky to have cloudy weather and lovely rain while I stayed there. It was so nice and cool in November.
Unfortunately the road to Utara leads through the township, filthy surroundings with a dumping site on one side. The toilet in the chalet was not clean.
This place is actually a hunting farm and is equipped as such. Nice place though.
The accommodation is everything one needs. The chalets are clean and tidy and good value for money. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. The host and hostess are friendly and helpful. I would recommend Utara to friends and family anytime.
What a pleasant time with Santie and Hennie. We were taken care of during our stay and they couldn't do enough to make us feel at home. The peaceful atmosphere and surroundings are all one needs to relieve the stress and recharge the batteries for the new working year. We have already decided to visit them again in 2016.
I have never met such kind, hospitable people in my life. The owners were incredibly helpful and made our visit very pleasant. It was one of the best vacations in a very long time. It not only offers value for money, but a place where one can really rest. The chalets are very nice inside and equipped with everything you need. The wildlife is also something special to look at. Something you don't just come across in the city. This is certainly not the last time Utara Game Farm will see us. Ten out of ten!
Very friendly people. We will definitely visit again.
We were received very kindly and the chalets are beautiful and spacious. Santie went out of her way to make our weekend fun! We will definitely visit there again and tell all our friends about their lovely place.
My husband and I were looking for a quiet place, with a bushveld atmosphere to break away. We chose Utara and we were very surprised with what we got. The owners, uncle Hennie and aunt Santie are two dear and hospitable people. Made sure all the time that we are comfortable and that everything at the chalet is in order. The chalets have everything one needs and if you prefer, the maid will come and clean daily. The gardens, grass and plants are beautiful and you can tell they are passionate gardeners. We would go back again anytime.
Great relax and visit. Very hospitable and friendly owners.
It was nice to be able to stay there, and feed animals together. The game drives were also very nice. We were welcomed with open arms at Utara by Hennie and Santie Nel. From there we were taken to our chalet and handed the keys. Quiet location in nature. Children really enjoyed it with the swimming pool and climbing frame that is there.
We were welcomed with open arms, the hospitality was wonderful. They go out of their way to keep their guests happy. Can definitely recommend Utara.
Right place if you want to recover a bit after the hustle and bustle of the city, here you can get back in touch with your "inner self". The hospitality is something you only get from real genuine farmer people, will definitely go again. Close to nature and the chalets are very clean and tidy and Hennie and Santie go out of their way to make you feel at home. Close enough to town if you might have forgotten something. A gem of a place for someone who wants to get away from the city, but doesn't want to drive too far.
Hennie and Santie are very pleasant people.
Utara is very nice and peaceful, the host and hostess are very helpful and friendly. We will definitely visit Utara again and definitely recommend it to anyone who just wants to rest.
Wonderful hosts. It was relaxing and really enjoyed it.
Lovely peaceful accommodation in the Bosveld. Nature at its best!
Friendly people, would definitely stay there again.
Good road directions. Unfortunately we didn't have time to view wildlife and maybe we will next time. Positive criticism: The beds are hard and very creaky and the pillows too soft and we had to use two, but it still felt like we were sleeping on the mattress. We used the two plastic garden chairs to sit on. The others are too uncomfortable, with no backing. I would bring in a nice couch or comfortable chairs. I'm not sure if there were leaflets with information on what they offer and maybe emergency numbers. Thank you very much.
Chalet and resort tidy, Service and reception up to standard. Would recommend more security - burglar bars in front of windows so one can sleep with an open window. Air conditioners are also recommended - it was very hot and it made it very uncomfortable to sleep at night.
