Baboon's View Cabin - Salted Fynbos Staying

Location was perfect & private, isolated but not far from coastal town.

Hot tub not enclosed, open to wind and rain

The view was excellent. Great bed and a very nice bathtub. Neat and tidy. Great utencils and plates. All braai equipment was included. Very good privacy.

The open toilet was a bit uncomfortable. Could do with more cupboard space for clothes. We could not get the larger stove plate working. The hottub was much harder to heat than originally thought.

Location

We booked the baboons view cabin, when we got there there was no electricity , when I inspected the solar the cable had been pulled out. I got told it must have been baboons but to me this was done by a human as the cable clip would have broken if it was just yanked out by an animal. They sent a handy man quickly to clip the cable back in but the inverter stayed in a fault and would not charge the batteries so for 2 days we had to try keep our Woolies food cold with ice. The first night we noticed that we had some bites on our bodies when we woke up. After second night we had even more bites - the bed had bed bugs and so we decided to leave a day early as we were not prepared to go another night in a bed full of bed bugs. I’ll post the pics of some of the bites on our bodies below. The hot tub does not get full hot, you would have to burn wood for 10+ hours to get all the water hot and by that time the area where you load the wood will be so full of ash that it would snuff out the fire. Unfortunately the volume of water is too much for the size of the wood burner. The wood burner that they have there is designed for a small portable tub that carries a lot less water. Anyhow the main issue for us was the bed bugs - this is unacceptable and I would just be very cautious staying here based on this.

The view and alone time with hubby

Everything was amazing and perfect

The view was spectacular, but the place wasn't clean as one would expect it to have been. There was hair in the shower drain, and the bedding was torn and had stains on it. Would love to go back, but they need to improve their facilities inside a lot.

Cozy cabin that sits on top of the hill with an amazing view and you are isolated from everyone but close enough to town should you feel like exploring what the area has to offer
