Gatskop lekker en afkoel in die swembad was tops na 'n baie warm dag.

Verblyf was bitter lekker en die eenheid was tops. Alles naby en gerieflik. Vriende en kinders is almal baie bly en gelukkig gewees.

Gemaklike, baie basiese verblyf met 'n pragtige uitsig. Bietjie aandag nodig.

Basiese geriewe. Pragtige uitsig. Kan doen met bietjie opknapping, bv. uit 4 kragsokke werk 3 nie. Water van die stort het van êrens erg op die vloer in die hoofvertrek gelek en daar was nie 'n mop om die groot plas water op te vee nie. Geen toiletpapier nie, so bring jou eie. Vriendelike gasheer.

Comfortable, very basic accommodation with a beautiful view. Needs some attention.

Basic amenities. Beautiful view. Could do with some renovation, eg. out of 4 power sockets 3 don't work. Water from the shower was leaking badly from somewhere onto the floor in the main room and there was no mop to mop up the large pool of water. No toilet paper, so bring your own. Friendly host.

Ek het lekker gebly, dankie. Daar is klein foutjies wat reggemaak kan word, soos die stortkraan wat lek en die toilet wat water lek, maar die lugversorger maak op vir al die foute.

A chair in the room would have been convenient for seating. Maybe just service the shower heads again so that the shower sprays nicely.

Ek self het nie daar geslaap nie maar my vrou sê dit was wonderlik.

Ons het ook net die een aand daar geslaap. Hulle het die dam se sluise oopgemaak en ons moes toe ontruim.

Manne -visvang.

Ons het die eenheid geniet, daar was genoeg slaap plek. Mense vriendelik en ons het lekker visgevang. Daar kort dalk net ’n opsie vir skoonmaakdienste met al die manne wat nie gewoond is om sonder hul vrouens te gaan vakansie hou nie. Die skottelgoed was, was 'n bakleiery!

Men - fishing.

We enjoyed the unit, there was enough sleeping space. People friendly and we had fun fishing. There may just be an option for cleaning services with all the men who are not used to going on holiday without their wives. Washing the dishes was a fight!

Kinders moet nie toegelaat word om in nr. 1 te bly nie. Dit klink soos sebras in migrasietyd soos wat hulle spring en hardloop. Ons kon amper niks slaap kry nie.

It's a lovely place - however what an experience!

When we arrived, there was no water in the entire town and the one room's light didn't work. Fortunately there was some water in the JoJo tank with outside toilet, shower and tap facilities. Oom Lukie also provided a spotlight we could use for the room. Then there was a small bat in another room! and later on there was load shedding for about 2 hours. There are two bathrooms inside, however only one working shower. The consolation was that the aircons worked well in the rooms we ended up occupying. What an experience on a Christmas eve.

Vuil en onnet.

Basiese netheid moet toegepas word. Die gras is lank. Geen asblikke word skoongemaak nie. Staan en stink die plek vol. Gemors wat by swembad lê, lee chemical bottels. Lang gras. Buite badkamers stoorplek oop en bloot onnet. Geen instandhouding word gedoen nie. Stort lek in eenheid water loop hele plek vol. Toilet breek elke keer as mens die toilet trek. Klein goed soos om die toiletrol houer vas te boor in die muur word nie gedoen nie, so die toiletrol val heeltyd af. Dink daar moet eerlik meer aandag gegee word aan skoonmaak, buite gras sny, gemors optel en asblikke was.

Dirty and untidy.

Basic cleanliness must be practiced. The grass is long. No bins are cleaned. Stand and stink up the place. Garbage lying by the pool, lee chemical bottles. Long grass. Outside bathrooms storage space open and simply untidy. No maintenance is done. Shower leaks in unit water fills whole place. Toilet breaks every time you flush the toilet. Small things like drilling the toilet roll holder into the wall are not done, so the toilet roll keeps falling off. Honestly think more attention should be paid to cleaning, cutting grass outside, picking up rubbish and washing bins.

Mislei deur foto's.

Daar kan glad nie vis gevang word nie weens klippe en slyk en dis baie op- en afstap vanaf die stoep, maar die foto's wys dit nie. My 4 maande-swanger met dogter kon na die 1ste dag net lê.

Misled by photos.

You can't catch fish at all because of rocks and mud and it's a lot of walking up and down from the porch, but the photos don't show it. My 4 months pregnant with daughter could only lie down after the 1st day.

For the Fishermen I would recommend the place, but the "chalets" need some upgrading.

For a quick getaway, it is close to Gauteng, and the anglers will really enjoy it. The facilities need some upgrading.

Pateties!

Daar word niks gebied in vergelyking met ander oorslaapfasiliteite. Nie eers toiletpapier voorsien nie. Geen prop vir wasbak. Wasbakkraan verkeerd gekoppel - koud by warm en warm by koud. Geen beddegoed. Krieke in kamer wat heel nag raas. Gevaarlike penne wat by een bed uitsteek en beserings kan veroorsaak, veral vir kinders. Geen beveiliging vir die nag - selfs skuifhek het oop bly staan. Geen waarde vir geld! Alle ander plekke het tee, koffie, suiker, melk, handdoeke en beddegoed voorsien. Selfs sepies en koekies. Hier was net duvet vir elke bed. Yskas was nie eers aan nie - dus ook van geen nut toe jy melk moes aankoop om dit koud te hou.

Pathetic!

Nothing is offered compared to other overnight facilities. Not even toilet paper provided. No sink plug. Sink tap wrongly connected - cold when hot and hot when cold. No bedding. Crickets in room making noise all night. Dangerous pins that protrude from one bed and can cause injury, especially to children. No security for the night - even sliding gate remained open. No value for money! All other places provided tea, coffee, sugar, milk, towels and bedding. Even soaps and cookies. There was only duvet for each bed. Fridge wasn't even on - so also of no use when you had to buy milk to keep it cold.
