"Lovely and horrid at the same time"

3.0

Beautiful cabin and amazing views.

There was unfortunately mold in the bed mattress which made sleep impossible. The room was also filled with the smell of mold. There are windows. However only one opens so fresh air isn't really an option. Unless you leave the door open to let the monkeys and baboons in.

"Dreamy"

9.0

Fireplace was so lovely, they even prepared our fire for us to light. Offered us to move to the Frodo room which was closer to the green dragon cafe. Food also very nice - beef curry especially. Then it was great being able to start hikes directly from the place.

"Disappointed, room was absolutely filthy."

2.0

Close to hiking trails.

Our cottage was filthy when we arrived and hadn’t been cleaned, dust, cob webs everywhere even dead spiders under the pillows, the pillows smelt sour and the room stank like it been standing for a few months. No one came to clean our room we had to request that someone come to clean, more than once.. when we asked the lady at front desk to clean, she claimed she didn’t know we were there for the next few days and when we asked her to change the bed sheets she said gave a thousand words. Bad service. No one came to clean the braai out either, more than once. Not worth R800 per night. Quite disappointed.
