"Good"

4.0

House is beautiful and spacious. Lovely views and a great entertainment space.

The only downside was the overall cleanliness of the property. The shower floors were dirty, the carpets in the lounge area appeared unclean, and the toilets seemed as though they had not been thoroughly cleaned for some time. The sofas also showed signs of dirt and wear. On a positive note, the bedding was clean, and it was evident that some surface cleaning had been done. However, areas requiring deeper cleaning were quite noticeable. This is a truly beautiful holiday destination with great potential. With a more thorough cleaning regimen, it would easily be a 10/10 experience. Due to the bathrooms which are nice but not cleaned properly I have dropped my score.

"NOT the luxury we expected"

3.0

The view was amazing. Also, the sky at night was memorable. Very spacious house!

In my opinion, the "luxury" was missing from the house. The driveway was quite a challenge! Potential guests should be advised to arrive in a 4x4! It was a beautiful house in a stunning area, but it is in need of some renovation. Many of the doors and some of the windows don't close properly due to warping, so the winter wind and cold temperatures blast through. Electric blankets were provided, but there was nowhere to plug them in! Thank goodness for the gas fireplace and duvets. Probably not a problem for guests staying during the summer months. In hindsight, I regret extending our stay by an extra day. Photos of the house and driveway should be updated.

"Great view but property needs work to be called Luxury accommodation"

5.0

Property was close to Sani Pass, many rooms that accommodate our group. Some rooms had underfloor heating and some had electrical blankets. Nice games rooms and gas fireplace.

The property does not have a daily maid/cleaning service which is not pleasant when you have a large group. The property is starting to date and maintenance is not up to date. There is not enough utensils , glasses in the kitchen and pots provided where small. This made cooking for a large group a bit difficult.

"Good on picture, but leaves much to be desired"

4.0

The property is large, spacious, and has great views. It is also remote, which makes it a good option for nature lovers. It also had a generator for the multiple power cuts that occurred during our stay. The games room had different options to keep people entertained. And the outdoor seating area was a nice touch.

The property looks beautiful on pictures, but what the pictures don't reveal is the poor maintenance. The property is poorly maintained: items and furniture feel grimy and sticky as if it's not cleaned regularly. Towels were clean, however, old and thin. No soaps were provided and whatever bottles of handsoap present were almost empty as if it's been left from previous bookings. Most self-catering properties provide basic necessities like hand soap, or if they don't, there is usually a reminder to bring your own items. There were non- working lights, especially in the outdoor area, making it difficult to braai or sit in the outdoor area at night. I would also suggest guests have a high ground clearance vehicle as there is a hilly gravel road, which lower suspension vehicles might find difficult to traverse. The gravel road might also get slippery when it rains, so make sure your vehicle is suitable for the gravel road. The biggest disappointment was the swimming pool. The property advertised having a private swimming pool and this was the main reason why we chose this property over others. However, it is not a well maintained pool and we could not make use of it, as there was dirt, slime and algae in the pool. My family, especially the kids, were quite disappointed, as the pool was not swimmable. We addressed the issue with both Cade (the property manager) and Mike (the caretaker who lives at the property). Mike dismissed our concerns and told us that we are being unreasonable expecting a clean pool and that it is clean enough to swim in the pool. I doubt any reasonable person would tell people to swim in a dirty, slimy algae infested pool which would pose a health risk. No effort was made to clean the pool during our stay. On the day we were checking out, the caretaker got a cleaner to clean the pool - a little too late for us to use, as we had to checkout by 10h30.
