The Lantern @ Fantasia

Leaving.

The smell, the decor, the price, the house right next to it, the broken appliances, the lack of any soul.

The bath was good, good views but you have to open the windows.

No wood , the hot blanket wasn't working on the one side, can't see properly through the glass windows you have to open it.

Place was amazing. Beautiful and very unique. But we had trouble checking in.

After arranging with with the manager that we would be arriving late as we where flying from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and then driving down and being assured that it would not be a problem, we got to hogsback late Friday night, we even phoned him just after leaving the airport and asked for a location pin... Which we didn't get. So after trying to get hold of the manager and not being able to reach him, as we didn't have a location we then had to walk into the local pub and ask random people if they know where the place is. This after a long drive, not to mention the fact that we were there to do a trail run the next morning and wanting to get settled. Someone then gave as directions as to where the manager stays. Got there and his wife /girlfriend then assisted us with directions. Got to the place... No lights were on or wood left for us as arranged beforehand. So all and all definitely not happy. Place was amazing though. It's just a pitty about the manager /caretakers unprofessionalism.

The bottom floor was nice and cool in the summer heat. We had our morning coffee at a window overlooking the forest. The fire hottub was a definite highlight!

We got instructions via video

Nothing

Tried to make a fire in the fireplace but the wood was wet.
