- Hlobo (5/5): Passable - The place is neat and clean. The bed is comfortable. The noise from the neighbours at night and they were smoking. I could smell the smoke in my room. The water was cold on Friday I had to wash in another room.The toilet was not flushing I had to remove the top and flash it on my own. I thought atleast they have small soaps and towels provided but there was none.

- Yvonne (3/5): not refunded, green pool, loose shower door, - The pool was green, we booked it for the pool as we are from the UK so swimming is important, the staff lost our second booking, we found somewhere else and then they wouldn't refund us. the shower door was broken and came off the hinges, not safe with a child. beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. Tv only had one channel working, the fridge only froze everything. green pool, unsafe shower door, and no refund for a stay we didn't use and requested a refund as our booking was lost.

- Trudie (1/5): Horrific Ferndale Lodge - It was a horrific experience!!! It's a far cry from the pictures posted on several sites! No wi-fi, no breakfast and no toiletries as specified. Tv doesn't work properly even after reporting it to Risuna.Terrible dirty matrass, lots of dust, torn hard towels, no handtowel. Garden unattended! Pool's greener than the grass! I took pictures as proof!
- Inez (9/5): Superb -
