Stone Haven at Nieu Bethesda

Location excellent. Unit had everything you would expect from self catering.

Tiny unit about the size of a single garage.

The provided rusks were delicious !

property was rather too cramped, for example, no relaxing sitting area.

Good location, decent size, clean and comfortable beds

Very badly sign posted - no name or number on the street (not easy to find) got a bit lost. It was not very clean. All the pots and pans were covered in a thin layer of dust. Window shutters and window sills had not been opened for ages, were dusty and a bit dirty. One fan stand was broken. Foot rest (lower shelf) of coffee table on the stoep (verandah) was broken and nail sticking out. When we had heavy rain, the verhandah roof was leaking in two places. The bathroom sink did not drain properly. The toilet would not refill, so in order to flush we had to take the lid off the cistern and flush it manually. You can see the place is not owner-managed. I think the owner lives overseas? Romeo the caretaker was very sweet, but was not proactive, he just apologised, and nothing got fixed during our stay. The place requires a plumber, some maintenance and some deep cleaning! It has a lot of potential.

Romeo was great, made us feel very welcome and kept us up to speed via whatsapp with the goings on in the town. Our room was small but very neat and clean, and had all we needed. Something not found to often was the full cream milk for our coffee and tea - well done for that!
