Enjoyable.

Very pleasant. The staff are wonderful. The views from the verandah table are the best thing. There is some work to do with upgrading the plumbing in one area, but they are attending to it. If it is advertised as 'self catering', one assumes the rooms would have facilities for this beyond a tea tray and a fridge. The staff always make the difference, and I was made to feel welcome. Leslie is a good reason to stay there.

Good stay.

It was a nice stay, beautiful view, but the WiFi was off. The host was very friendly and helpful.

Sal weer besoek.

Gasvrou was vriendelik en hulpvaardig, kamers was skoon en netjies. Pragtige ou huis met balkonne wat uitkyk oor die meer.

Hostess was friendly and helpful, rooms were clean and tidy. Beautiful old house with balconies overlooking the lake.

Koue kamer - geen gesellige atmosfeer nie. Ongemak t.o.v. privaatheid.

Swak: Blindings stukkend en onvoldoende om privaatheid, veral by die stort, te verseker. Krane en toilethouer is los. Kamer yskoud, geen verhitting beskikbaar. Goed: Vriendelike ontvangs. Mooi japonne.

Cold room - no cozy atmosphere. Discomfort with privacy.

Poor: Blinds broken and insufficient to ensure privacy, especially in the shower. Faucets and toilet holder are loose. Room freezing cold, no heating available. Good: Friendly reception. Nice gowns.

Die dame was baie behulpsaam.

Ons het net oornag. Die dame wat daar was, was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik, maar die man wat ons ingeboek het, was onder die invloed. Daar is ook geen waaiers in die kamers nie. Dit was baie benoud. Ek stel ook voor dat hulle ligte insit wat kan help met die loadshedding. Hulle het ons wel baie uitgehelp met ons katjie wat saam ons was en het na hom vir ons gekyk vir 'n paar ure. Verder was daar geen probleme nie. Dit is skoon en netjies.

The lady was very helpful.

We only spent the night. The lady there was very helpful and friendly, but the man who checked us in was under the influence. There are also no fans in the rooms. It was very distressing. I also suggest that they put in lights that can help with the loadshedding. They did help us a lot with our kitten who was with us and looked after him for us for a few hours. Other than that there were no problems. It is clean and tidy.

Disappointed and definitely not worth the money. Will not be back.

When we got there, we had to wait 30 minutes outside until the host arrived. It was advertised to have a fully equipped kitchen, which it did not. We had to go buy knives and forks and ask the host to get pots, pans, and tea and coffee for our rooms. The kitchen was not organised for guests. We also had to buy toilet paper as we were only given half rolls, and when it was finished, there were no extra rolls. The plumbing is noisy, and in certain rooms, you can hear when guests use the taps; this woke us up several times when other guests used the taps at various times in the night. In one room, the roof started leaking water, and the only solution was to put a bucket under the drip, which kept my family awake at night. WiFi was not working the entire stay. The pool was dirty the entire stay, and no effort was made to clean it. Rooms are in need of maintenance as paint and wallpaper are peeling off, as well as lights flickering. The parking is quite tight and does not cater for the number of rooms and guests staying there. This place has so much potential as it has a great view, and the on-site host was friendly. The bed was comfortable. However, I will not be going back and will not recommend it to any family or friends.

Shocking. Stay away!

Horrific! Booked for 5, left after the first night. One of the rooms we booked was double booked, broken blinds, broken bathroom window latch, holes in the wall, broken basin, mould on the walls, no fridge or tea tray in the second room as advertised. The manager offered to move us to 'suitable' rooms - shouldn't they all be suitable? The manager cited Covid as the reason for not being up to standard.
