"Our geyser was not on on the first night, we had to enquire."

The last night we had no electricity, the owner did not have the decency to come to us and tell us that there is an issue. We left the next day before check out time. The 17km road is definitely not for a passenger vehicle, only 4x4. It is a terrible road. Upon arrival we were shown our room and amenities, the guest was friendly, the unit very clean and neat. When we went to bed, there was no hot water. I messaged her, she said she would check the DB board, she never responded to say it was on or off. Later we found out by ourselves that there was hot water upon testing. The 17km gravel road is terrible for small vehicles, you definitely require a 4x4 or large SUV vehicle to travel that road. I used my Polo Hatch, and I felt sad for my vehicle. On the last night, the power was off, we did not get a message to say what the issue was, whether it would be fixed, why the generator was not working. It was quite frustrating. If they had told us what the problem was, we could have dealt with it and accepted it is what it is, after all, we live in Africa. A little communication goes a long way. I have my own holiday home at the beach, and I also have problems that arise, but I always keep my guests informed, even if it is bad news. I am with MTN, and I had no signal to make phone calls to my children, and they had no WiFi facility at the premises. Sadly I won't recommend or return to this establishment, also felt it was a bit pricey for what was on offer.

"For sure not again."

At main gate upon arrival no one picks up their phones to call us in, forcing us to call the neighbors, whose name is on their gate. The owner wasn't very impressed with my call, because apparently it wasn't the first time this had happened, so now we become their problem and he bears the risk if something goes wrong, but the man gave in, as a storm was brewing the horizon lay. On arrival at the house, 2 people received us who did not understand a word when we spoke Afrikaans or English. The kitchen's sign that reads: Grandpa and Ouma se Plekkie, makes you feel unwelcome. Also their family photos on the wall, bath sponges in the shower, the walking frames next to the dressing table and drops of cold drink in a fridge that hadn't been turned on yet. Found power box and just smelled gas - all the knobs on the gas stove were turned on, really felt like we were intruders. Coffee and tea containers were empty and the sugar container's sugar had already crystallized, so just put the kettle off again. A man arrived the night the dogs came to feed, and we were told the people were on leave. Next day it's hot, but pool has a tarp left, all the water activities are covered in cobwebs and everything is dirty. We looked for someone to help and asked for the owner, but again - no one talks. When you realize your home is better than the place you pay for, you just know. instead of another day of good sleep, we pack up and leave. Arriving at the gate, we call the number to get out and in no time the phone is answered very kindly. Even though we were there with a discount on the spot, we feel we wasted our money and time.
