- Phora (10/5): My home away from home🏡 - The garden, the scenery, the staff ( Zweli is the best). I loved that I could check out late. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The place is so peaceful. Came back well rested. This is my third booking here. And I am definitely going to go back. Home away from home. Nothing

- Kathy (4/5): Apart from the beautiful garden setting I didnt enjoy my stay and wouldnt stay again. - great situation and beautiful garden. Host didn't speak English. We weren't given the correct gate code, so might have had a problem entering the property if one of the cleaning staff, who just happened to be around, wasn't there. Rooms old and maintenance poor. Towels dreadfully old and thin. No refrigerator in my room, but my travelling companion had. Only two coat hangers, one dirty and one broken. Only coffee on the tray with the kettle.

The location was perfect. There were spiders in the corner of the room.

the shower water actually stung on like bees biting
the cushions on the bed were dirty
floors were unkept
blinds in the bathroom were unkept
- Faith (9/5): Superb -
- Amundala (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ninimonate (7/5): I Loved it - I liked how the guy welcomed us and showed us around. I also love the fact that it was cold so they offered electric blankets for everyone. The plugs in my room where not working so the i could not charge and the television was playing every in Chinese so i could not watch tv. The part that made me angry is that they gave us passwords to wifi's that do not work so imagen no tv, nowhere to charge your phone and no wifi. so in that department i was not happy at all. None the less the place was fabulous and i would recommend it to others but owners should take points of what i just mentioned.
