"Was disappointed and had to arrange other accommodation."

We were early at the destination and the request to check in was handled well without any problems. However, we were very disappointed after seeing the room and the rest of the resort. I would like to bring the following observations to your attention: The bed in our room was of very poor quality. The wooden frame was very stiff and I would not be able to sleep on the bed with peace of mind. The mattress had also seen better days, and with my wife's back problems we just couldn't spend the night there. There was only one chair available in the room, but accommodation was arranged for two people. I inquired about the possibility of grilling but was informed that it was not an option. This was and is acceptable as the reservation was for B&B, but after sitting on the deck for about 10 minutes without any waiter visiting us, we decided to look for other accommodation. The resort in general is not very clean and some of the other accommodation options where self-catering is available were not clean with braai still visible in the braaiers. The disappointment in general was very big and the fact that I had to book other accommodation for the 17th and 26th March 2018 at a cost of approximately R2700 is just totally unacceptable to me. If a comparison could be made between Waschbank and the rest of our stay during our vacation, I can strongly recommend that a professional comparison be made in terms of price and value for money. A very good example is our stay in Stilbaai. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen (house), large living area, indoor and outdoor braai facilities, large outside entertainment area and an excellent view for R1000.00 per night. Compare this to the R790.00 for Waschbank and you will understand my disappointment. From the above it is clear that I would certainly not recommend Waschbank based on our recent experience.
