Nice stay and the surroundings are beautiful. Friendly host and hostess.
We booked for the Easter weekend for me and my husband and our two adult sons. The accommodation we got, which was one double bed and two bunk beds. It is not suitable for adults in my opinion and was extremely cute. Even more, we looked forward to having each breakfast at Crocodile Nest before heading out for the day. The owner very kindly informed us that she would not be able to provide us with breakfast, "because I just know my own limitations and it is just me, myself and I here". With Easter weekend which is clearly a very busy time in the guest house and hotel industry, I would wonder if it was not indicated to perhaps make use of temporary workers in order to be able to provide it for the guests who want breakfast.

Crocodile Nest 's response
Good day Eileen
I am sorry you were disappointed by your experience at Crocodile Nest.
As with most other small hospitality providers, we were hard hit on staffing, and the serious decline in business meant staff reductions. We cannot afford to take temporary staff due to the nature of safety and security of guests, so until the economy and business improves, we are doing what we can.
The decision to not provide breakfast over Easter was taken ahead of time due to having the care and meals responsibility for my aged mother in law who also resides on the property. She had recently endured a fractured leg and an eye operation, so required my attention as well. So I apologize for not being able to assist you with breakfast, but as indicated on the website, breakfast is not automatically included in bookings and needs to be requested, which you did. I did not explain myself sufficiently, I'm sorry.

Thank you for your nice review and the feedback, It was nice meeting your family and little Liam. The traffic has been growing each and every time along the N4 highway as the road is busy coming and going to Maputo and the fact that it was extended when there where building the Mbombela Stadium preparing for the 2010 World Cup, meant the road moved closer. We hope to host your family again, the next time you are in Nelspruit.

Thank you for staying with us, Lida.
We are so sorry you had a problem with your water pressure! We live on a farm and had we been alerted to the problem, we could have checked our pressure pump from the borehole and resolved the issue. The joys of living in the countryside without all the municipal services available. Glasses are kept in the cupboard under the television and decoder in order to leave space for utensils and pots in the kitchen cupboards.
Glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise.

Dear Hermann,
Thank you for your feedback.
We regret that you did not enjoy your stay at Crocodile Nest and that you felt the customer service was not up to scratch. We would appreciate futher feedback on the problem(s) you experienced so that we can rectify these in the future.
I am sorry that you believe R315 per person was a high price to pay for your serviced and supplied accommodation. We do not pretend to offer DStv in our units but only OVHD as do many other establishments.
I personally regret that I could not liaise with you due to only arriving home in the early hours of the day you arrived, having spent 48 hours in buses, airports, or aircraft, with delays all round due to bad weather en route from overseas.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,

A neat and clean but very small rondavel.
We only stayed one night in a rondavel. It was very neat and clean and equipped with all the essentials and suitable for an overnight stay, but probably a bit cramped for a longer visit. Beverly Fraser went out of her way to make us feel welcome and even offered to have dinner together. When we turned it down she arranged that we could eat at the neighboring Kwanyoni Lodge before the kitchen closed. We would definitely stay here again.

We were very glad to be able to help you and agree that our little Room 1 is for short stays only. In time, I hope we will be able to do some work with it, but being a really vintage building, circa 1905, and built in the original manner of the old rondavel, it needs some planning on how to go about it.
With our kind regards,

We hope your weekend was a success in terms of sporting achievement. Glad to hear that you liked your cabin, but really distressed to know that you were inconvenienced by the previous night's visit leaving the communal kitchen/living area in a mess. Seriously not good, I agree.
Obviously, our early morning guests would like to enjoy their tea/coffee. Sleeper cabin space is minimal, but we will see what can be done within these confines.
We really do hope to see you back here again in the future.

So sorry that we were not able to squeeze naartjies for you the picking of sufficient fruit and the squeezing of it all in order to produce a couple of litres juice is very time-consuming, particularly when low on staff.

Not too bad just don't think it's what we were looking for
Look, it's clean and tidy, not unfriendly people, but the braai facilities they talk about are very far away from your place where you live. You can't get there with a car, so you have to carry everything down there and carry everything back up to where you live. There are no braai facilities where you can braai on your own at your place. Think it's a bit gross if you want to barbecue and other people also want to barbecue, so somewhere you have to wait for each other to finish grilling before you can barbecue. I personally will not go there again. Next time we will try another place

I am so sorry that your family were not comfortable with our pets (and watchdogs). Being Labrador and very hot weather, they will go into whatever water they can find. It was nice to see everybody a bit more relaxed with the animals by the time you left.
My staff are continually impressed with the need for good cleaning practices. They have busy daily routines with room cleaning in the mornings and laundry in the afternoons. They were unable to enter and clean your rooms as they were occupied until they went off for lunch.
