Disappointing.
The accommodation was not at all what I expected. The standard was low. We booked the cabin. The unit was dirty with a musty smell in the small room where the double bed was. The bunk beds were not firm and without steps to climb up. The fridge was old and rusty. The electricity had a problem which left the resort without power for periods of time (not load shedding). It rained a lot causing the resort to be a mass of mud. Extra paths must be built so that it is not necessary to walk in the mud to the ablution facilities. The ablution facilities are not up to a standard I expected. There are ropes strung which are very low and cause one to bump into them. The 2 plate gas stove is the only thing I can give positive feedback on. We only slept over the first night and then left.

Ok campsite in forest environment.
Needs slight renovation ie. pitches are a bit cramped with little parking and power points per pitch are illogical, forcing people to use long extension cords. With a lot of rain there is mud everywhere. The atmosphere is calm and pleasant, and the camp is otherwise ok. The restaurant and market are cozy. Friendly owners.

Lovely silence, peace and quiet.
Most beautiful scenery you will ever see! Real, genuine forest with accommodation that doesn't spoil the magical atmosphere. The Bushcamp cottage won my heart! Rustic, but clean and lovely. Right next to a water stream, cute and private braai place. Hiking trails, delicious pizza and cold beer on site! Owners very friendly and helpful. If you are not obsessed with white linen, take a look and discover another life!

Hi Kirsten
Thanks for your feedback which is very helpful.
We have recently taken over the running of Yellowwood Forest and realize that the Loft Room is not up to the rustic but comfortable standard of similar rooms and units on the property. We'll be retiring it from use until in better condition.

The resort is suitable for campers and very tidy. Grass was beautifully green and the ablution block very neat. We stayed in the rustic cabin and I was very disappointed. I feel we paid way too much for the condition of the place. But we were warmly received and the children can play and be free,

We should have booked a campsite instead of the self-catering unit.
We stayed in the Cob Cottage for two nights. The building is truly artistic and it is clear that a lot of creativity and care went into its construction. Unfortunately, the condition of the furniture and facilities took away from the 'charm' of the cottage. The furniture was not comfortable and was old and neglected. The fridge could not close properly, with the result that we occasionally had to remove bugs from it. We also could not use the upper floor at all as the grass of the grass roof is in bad condition and the furniture and bedding were not welcoming. The floor and furniture on this floor were also heavily soiled by cockroaches and lizards. What was a plus point of the stay was the nice stoep and fire pit, as well as the beautiful walking route in the forest. The staff at the restaurant were also lovely. Unfortunately we did not see or meet the managers / owners. Morgan Bay was wonderful, but we were disappointed in the condition of our accommodation which is described as 'luxurious' on the website. It was not value for the rates charged.

We appreciate that you took time to review Cob cottage in detail, thank you. We will take all your points to heart and reassess both the furniture and the condition of the cottage. Clearly, we needed to be hands-on during your stay and I am sincerely sorry that you did not come to reception and let us know. We are both on site 24/7 and were unaware that your needs had not been met as to your expectations.
Our Cottage is indeed rustic as is the whole of Yellowwood Forest.

Booking office was not up to date. The rustic idea for the ablution blocks was interesting, but not very clean. Too many campers for the amount of ablution facilities.

Morgans Bay is a very nice place to holiday. We struggled with hospitality. We couldn't choose where we wanted to camp and I wouldn't recommend the restaurant. You are not getting your value for money. People also complain about the few bathrooms.

Oh dear. I'm grateful that your review came after another glowing one from very happy campers who loved the campsite, facilities, restaurant and our hospitality. Thank you for taking the time to review us. You would be happier coming out of peak holiday season when you can have the place to yourself and more individual attention.

I'm so glad you found our rustic facilities clean. Christmas day is the only day of the year that we owners are off, our staff, however, were available to clean and replenish supplies like toilet paper during the day- I'm sorry you missed out, that is just terrible, I wish you'd let us know as we were still on site and could have shown you where it was. please do visit us in the quiet offseason when enormous tents and trailers can more easily be accommodated. We sincerely appreciate that you took the time to review us. Thank you.
