Guest Reviews
- Kuun (4/5): -
- Ralie (10/5): Exelent accomodation - Very clean and comfortable and the owners hospitality was out of this world
- Mthokozisi Kevin (10/5): - Everything. The owners are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. The place is nicely located, well kept, good amenities as well. Nothing. Loved everything.
- zane (9/5): -
- Ulandi (10/5): -
- Barnard (10/5): -
- Yvonne (10/5): - Calm and peaceful guesthouse, with very kind and helpful hosts. All was great!
- Semetjane (7/5): - Welcome
- Michael (5/5): -
- Cherlene (4/5): Trying and disappointing, meals available for pre-order was extremely expensive. - The Kitchenette barely qualifies with less than bare minimum provided. The stove and kettle could not reach the power point, we had to use a power cable that we luckily had with us to power the appliances. No working/preparation area in kitchenette. No warm water during our last night.
- Hester (10/5): Wonderful and exactly what we needed. - That the service was excellent and the staff were super kind! We didn’t want to leave!
- Zani (8/5): -
- Janine (8/5): Vriendelike personeel. Skoon met alles wat jy nodig het. Sal Gorgeous Gecko beslis aanbeveel. - Ons het toegang gehad tot 'n baie lekker en mooi braai area met 'n kombuis waar ons 'n mikrogolfoond, stoof, opwas, wasmasjien ens ens gehad het. Die eienaars en ontvangs was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Elke oggend heerlik warm gestort ten spyte daarvan dat die gastehuis VOL geboek was. Kamers is elke dag deur personeel skoongemaak en van skoon handdoeke en badkamermatjies voorsien. Bed en kussings gerieflik. Linne skoon. Dankbaar vir koffiestasie, yskas en tafel in kamers. Pryse is baie billik. Daar is ontbyt en aandete op versoek beskikbaar. Parkering op die perseel met veiligheidshekke. Ons het 'n 4-bed Cottage deur Bookings.com geboek en toe ons arriveer was ons gesin in 2 kamers binne-in die gastehuis verdeel. Die kamers was so te sê langs mekaar, maar dit was teleurstellend dat ons nie vooraf in kennis gestel is van die verandering nie. Daar is ook 'n no cancellation/refund policy wat ek persoonlik dink meer toegewend kan wees.
- Mthokozisi (8/5): - Overall aesthetics.
Clean.
Enough communal sitting areas. Bed - uncomfortable. The mattress didn't provide sufficient comfort.

- Annebell (6/5): The stay was nice. - It was safe. The walls is to thin you can hear everyone snoring and going to the bath room. The people were loud we could hear everyone outside our door.
- Anel (8/5): Very good -

- Thulani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Neil (5/5): Terrible beds that were fitted with rubber sheets -
- Deidre (8/5): Gecko is Gorgeous - Very welcoming reception.Location on edge of town with view of bushveld. Recommended stay!
- Kgothatso (1/5): Poor service - The Receptionist was very rude because I booked for me and my wife(she's pregnant).... The receptionist gave us a room that has two separate small single beds and She further told me that it is not her fault that I made a booking via Booking.com instead of calling her directly. She told me that I have to call her directly next time and not use this platform. This is surely the worst guesthouse in my experience. That lady must fix her attitude

- Makwena (10/5): Exceptional customer service coupled with welcoming staff - Excellent service coupled with approachable staff as welcoming manager... Nothing
- Hlongo (10/5): Good - Good Everything
- Chris (3/5): Not worth the money we paid - Nothing The fact that we paid full price but we were in the dark. There was no electricity and they did not have any bac-up supply
- Spies (5/5): Fair, but not at that price. - Clean and Emilo did his best. To make sure that everything is working, before the time guests arrive. Shower on cold water is just not good enought. Moving to another room although better should not happen. The guesthouse should take responsibility for this and either give a free breakfast in the mornings or pay a amount back.
- Petra (10/5): Exceptional - Very accomodating staff. They set up late check-in for us on short notice and were very friendly. Comfortable room.
- Charmaine (4/5): Disappointing - The noise. People sitting right outside our room at the pool and talking so loud. Very frustrating.
Most days we had very little water in the showers. Seems like the water supply is very bad if guests in 2 or 3 rooms shower at the same time
- Izelde (8/5): Very good -
- Caitlyn (9/5): Superb -
- Hugo (8/5): Fair - None available ! I am fairly long (1.88m) and would have appreciated longer sheets and / or blankets.
No breakfast available !
- Zamo (5/5): Passable -
- Kagm (6/5): Pleasant -
- Manjo (4/5): Disappointing - There was not an aircon and the fan didn’t work properly so between load shedding and the mosquitoes it was not pleasant.
- Seimela (8/5): My stay w - Breakfast was good and location good also because it was quiet and I like quietness My company I work for booked me in for 8 days and I went with my wife and I had to pay, sO I didn't like that because in some places where my company book me I go with her and I don't pay extras, I only pay for her breakfast and dinner.
