    Couldn't sleep because there were making noise,playing music in the middle of the night.Who does that like seriously,the other guy was drunk and was shouting the entire night,couldn't sleep,worst lodge ever,goodness gracious!! Once inside the only form of payment they use is cash which is inconvenient for us who do not like carrying cash around..Was very pissed when the host told me there is no change ,instead for her to go look for change ,she started narrating stories about being the only worker so she can't leave.That was totally unprofessional!!!!l had to look for a change,that was not good hospitality, never gonna use this lodge again

    1.They took forever to clean the pool. We stayed there 4days without using the pool 2.Not changing bedding and towels. Lots of cockroach, no enough utensils to use in the kitchen 3. Not having remote for the big gate they limit our movement since they are the one who control the remote during our stay. 4. One combined toilet with a shower for two separate rooms is horrible. If someone take a shower and other is pressed it's a disaster

    Location is straightforward

    Room was double booked, asked guests to wait in their car to 20:30, so that “day” guests could shower and leave. Guests couldn’t wait on a Sunday evening, for booked room, they travelled, the day at the hospital and was tired! Now I am struggling to get my money refunded!

    The manner in which the owner and the lady that opened for us talked to us. The place was dirty inside. The owner was rude on the phone. I will never recommend this place to anyone.

    We did not stay, as we were told that we will have to share a bathroom with other guests. The owner was rude and he told me that I should ask for my money from booking.com and leave his property. The lady that opened for us was also rude and referred to us as "these people". She told us what did we think the R450 was for and that if we needed a private bathroom, we will have to pay extra. The place was dirty.
