"Peaceful loveable moments"

6.0

The sound of the river flowing it’s a beautiful sound to wake up to.. The bath tub outside was the highlight of our stay.. Really loved it

The place wasn’t that clean, wanted to remove the carpet it had visible stains.

"Just okay"

4.0

The scenery is great and the river views

The property was so stuffy, Denise mentioned it was newly renovated so maybe thats the reason. The water is brown not sure whether it was safe to consume, there was a very terrible smell coming from the corridor in the kitchen sink as well as the bathrooms. It smelled like faeces/poop. Overall the location of the property ls great.

"I stayed at Zwakala before two years ago, I loved it. This time my stay wasn’t nice, the standard has dropped"

6.0

Amazing view and surrounded by nature is what I loved the most

It was not clean . The shower wasn’t working properly. The sugar provided looks it hadn’t been replaced in a long time
