Everything was just amazing, you will not need for anything. spacious, luxurious, peaceful, an absolute beaut!!! Amazing host, great welcome. amenities for days, trust me you will not need for anything!. 6 places ive been to in EL in the last month and this by far takes the cake!! Annetjie you are an awesome host. thank you!! nothing. nothing at all.
• Prévost (5/5): Photos didn’t really match what I was expecting… - The host was kind and gave us tips about things to do around, the place is central. The host changes towels frequently. The rooms and bathrooms could be cleaner, bathrooms were not clean when we arrived and the host fixed it when we told her. the place needs TLC, there was no cupboards at all in the bathrooms we had to put our products in the floor or on the huge washing machine, and the sink was so low that we had to bend for brushing teeth or washing your face. Unfortunately our rooms faced the back of a house. When we arrived we couldn’t open the freezer as it was frozen and had a broken door. My husband had to defrost and fix it. There was also dogs barking early in the morning. So if you want a quiet place 😑
