Very nice, accommodating extended stay. We were a netball group of 13 people and had a great stay the whole week. The staff are extremely friendly and very accommodating and try to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Nothing was too much trouble for the team. We would definitely recommend you!

Baie lekker, akkomoderende verlengde verblyf. Ons was 'n netbalgroep van 13 mense en het die hele week baie lekker gebly. Die staff is uiters vriendelik en baie akkomoderend en probeer die verblyf vir jou so gemaklik moontlik maak. Niks was te veel moeite vir die span nie. Ons sal julle definitief aanbeveel!

Comfortable and would love to visit again. Comfortable overnight stay, safe and close to where I needed to be. Nice warm bed and shower. I chose the non-self-catering option and it completely met my basic needs.

Gerieflik en sal graag weer besoek. Gerieflike oornagverblyf, veilig en naby aan waar ek moes wees. Lekker warm bed en stort. Ek het die opsie gekies wat nie self-catering is nie, en dit het heeltemal in my basiese behoeftes voorsien.

Safe, affordable oasis in the area. Marié is honest and very helpful; the former is especially a rare trait these days. Thank you very much for everything. Neat, clean and safe place with friendly staff and a relief in the midst of busy city life.

Veilige bekostigbare oase in omgewing. Marié is eerlik en baie behulpsaam; veral eersgenoemde is deesdae 'n skaars eienskap. Baie dankie vir als. Netjiese, skoon en veilige plek met vriendelike personeel en 'n lafenis te midde van besige stadslewe.

Very affordable and convenient option. It was very good value for money. They just need to update their photos on the website as they show a double bed and two single beds when it is actually two 3/4 beds and a sleeper couch. And then they can just spend a few rand and fix the few things that are broken and not working properly - like e.g. the toilet bowl is broken, the geyser is not working properly, the unit is for 4 but there was only enough cutlery etc. for 3. The breakfast was incredibly tasty.

Baie bekostigbare en gerieflike opsie. Dit was baie goeie waarde vir geld. Hulle moet net hulle foto's opdateer op die webtuiste aangesien hulle 'n dubbelbed en twee enkelbeddens wys terwyl dit eintlik twee 3/4 beddens en 'n slaapbank is. En dan kan hulle net 'n paar rand spandeer en die paar goedjies wat stukkend is en nie lekker werk nie regmaak - soos bv. die toilet houer is stukkend, die geyser werk nie lekker nie, die eenheid is vir 4 maar daar was net genoeg eetgerei ens. vir 3. Die ontbyt was wel ongelooflik lekker gewees.

We enjoyed. The staff is very friendly and we were well accommodated. We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and hospitable; we were well accommodated. Although there were a lot of ants in the area and there was no daily room service (changing bedding and cleaning daily). The pool was clean and well maintained.

Good day Kitso Thank you for your email. We are very happy to hear that you enjoy your stay! Our apologies for the ants problem. We did spray for crawling and flying insects because of the rains, which caused the ants to get out of control. We sprayed again inside and outside. Please note we don't change bedding every day unless somebody messes on the bed. When guests stay for three or more days, we will change the bedding. We do change towels and bath mats every day and freshen up the rooms, unless guests request not to clean the room. We will still take clean towels, toilet paper, and bath mats. Please next time, bring it to the manager's attention so that your complaint can be attended to! We are very happy if guests bring complaints to our attention so that we can address them to make our guests' stay pleasant and happy! Hope to hear from you or see you soon! Kind regards, Marié (Manager)

Decent. There were a few issues with the mini bar fridge, which caused our meat to rot. We also encountered WiFi connectivity problems, so we had to buy our own data to stream and communicate. Additionally, the shower handles were loose. Bring your own plates, eating utensils as well as a microwave/air fryer. The kitchen is not available for this booking option.

Good day Thato Thank you for your email. (1) The bar fridge was set on 3; the temperature can be adjusted to 8. We put a bar fridge in the Budget Rooms to keep cold drinks and water extra cold. Self Catering Rooms have a big fridge for meat and food. (2) You booked a Budget Room, not a Self Catering Room - meaning a bed, shower, TV, kettle with mugs & glasses, coffee extra, and a bar fridge. Self Catering rooms have microwaves, stove, plates extra. The price could tell you it's not a self catering room! Hope you have a better picture for your next stay! (3) Our apologies for the Internet problem. With the rains and storms, we have an Internet problem. We are busy addressing the issue. When a group books, we make sure one out of the group takes a self catering. Over December, when we are fully booked, we let the guests know to buy paper plates from us or bring plates extra for the guests in Budget Rooms. Please, with your next stay, bring complaints to the manager's attention so we can address your complaint and make your stay pleasant! Kind regards Marié (Manager)

Beautiful and peaceful. We spent very little time here, late in and early out, but what we saw was beautiful and the place was pretty clean. However, the spotlights everywhere on the plot make it a bit difficult to sleep. Would suggest they put up darker curtains in the places. Staff is very friendly.

Pragtig en rustig. Ons het baie min tyd hier spandeer, laat in en vroeg uit, maar dit wat ons gesien het, was pragtig en die plek was mooi skoon. Die spotlights egter orals op die plot maak dit bietjie moeilik om te slaap. Sal voorstel dat hulle donkerder gordyne opsit in die plekke. Personeel is baie vriendelik.
