"Unterirdisch"

1.0

Diese Unterkunft wird von Booking.com mit 5 Sternen beworben. Das Zimmer hatte ein Vorhängeschloss zum verschließen. Weder Dusche noch Toilette im Zimmer, die waren in einem Gebäude untergebracht, dass ich nicht für viel Geld betreten hätte. Wir haben nach eine Nacht das ganze storniert. Booking.com sollte bei ihrem rating die Örtlichkeit vorher besichtigen. Ein halber Stern wäre zu viel des Guten

Wunderschöne Anlage, sehr ruhig, da mitten im Nirgendwo. Sehr nettes Personal

Es müsste dringend renoviert werden. Vorallem die Gemeinschafts-Badezimmer.

"Good place when exploring northern drakensberg"

7.0

The establishment is very nice and big, also location is great to explore the nearby Royal Natal Nationalpark. Rooms are rather average but okey, staff was very friendly.

Maybe we were a bit unlucky but there were hardly any other people which made everything feel a bit lost since the property is big. There was no vibe unfortunately

There is everything you need on a very basic level. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

It’s in the middle of nowhere. You need a car for everything. Quite far away from the Amphitheatre.

"Amphitheater"

7.0

The 3 person cabin we stayed in was very basic, not even water, but comfortable. Touches like lots of embedded storage and USB charging points made the space very functional. The guide associated with the property provided us with an excellent tour of Tugela falls.

The communal kitchens were really run down. While we could find the utensils and dishes we needed, the fridge and freezer space available was very limited because some appliances weren't in working order and hasn't been working for a while.
