- Guest (8/5): -
- Katleho (8/5): - It was genuinely welcoming and peaceful.
- Keneilwe (9/5): Amazing. Would highly recommend. - It’s very clean, neat and well kept. Nothing.
- Renee McMaster (4/5): - The river setting The diningroom table The dishwasher and washing machine advertised don't work. There were dishes in the dishwasher that had been there for several days obviously last people tried to wash then found out it wasnt working and left them there. The cutlery and crockery are lacking and need to be reviewed. No sideplates etc etc. The bathroom light flickers so badly it makes you dizzy.
- Chido (8/5): Good location - Great location, value for money & good staff No water pressure in the shower & bed too hard not comfortable
- Nkosingiphile (9/5): -
- Prissy (10/5): - Beautiful views. Accessible location. Very peaceful too
- Faaizah (6/5): -
- Guest (5/5): - did not have breakfast we where sitting in lounge and staff member never give us any privacy the staff member literally standing in front of the television obscuring our view hearing as he was consistently talking on his mobile phone we are very disappointed the swimming pool was not clean and we could not swim as a result
- Thembeka (8/5): It was an awesome experience - Their rooms are private I felt safe Nothing
- Karabo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mbali (3/5): Poor - Location and establishment is nice Couldn't get an ounce of sleep cause of the noise from the other guests. You can hear everything happening, the noise of shouting, laughing even after 22h00 which is the suggested lights out.
- Melina (5/5): Not that bad - The Chef -Gift , location and the outside shower. How the room looked, toilet not working and the noisy sound of the air conditioner.
- Beauty (7/5): Good -
- Ngcobo (8/5): Very good - Place is beautiful and very safe if only they can arrange electric blankets uts very cold and the heaters don't do as much justice
- Maphanga (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luka (9/5): Beautiful room and bathroom. Very clean, just needs some small things fixed and I’d give it 10 stars. - Nature. Our broken aircon was replaced by an oil heater. Thank you for that. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. The shower door leaked. The bathroom window couldn’t close. It would be nice to have a shower mat.

- Moipone (10/5): Lovely property and exceptional hospitality 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 - Everything about the property was exceptional, the only thing that bothered me was a peculiar smell when you enter the rooms, they don’t have that fresh scent.
- Siphelele (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nthabeleng (10/5): Exceptional - The room was quite spacious, there was this fresh smell in the room and the facilities were on point. Will definitely book there again. There place is so serene I was able to meditate in the morning, outside. The food was tasty, the chef was also welcoming and very helpful. I had confused dates and I was accommodated quite quickly and in a professional manner. The guesthouse makes their own soaps and lotion and the cinnamon and rooibos smell was just perfect. The place offers a spa and also you have access to DSTV, Netflix, showmax and YouTube. Everything was absolutely perfect

- Madeleine (7/5): Need some attention. - Bed was.very comfortable Could not use safe. It was locked and the guy at reception tried all the keys but non worked. There was not enough toilet paper only one roll with a small bit on it and we had to ask for aircon remote which also struggled to warm up.. Could hear the neigbbors aircon all night. The headbord of bed is loose so if you move like shift or turn aroumd it hIts against the wall so we had to move bed away from wall.

- Lounita (9/5): Superb -
- Mr (5/5): Passable - We were not welcomed by the staff or manager upon arrival & that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The staff were not very welcoming at all & made us feel uncomfortable by being there. No one explained how the facilities work or what the proper times are for placing orders etc. Also says there is a jacuzzi available for an additional charge but that is not true & is only available if you book the entire room which is very misleading. We chose this place because of that facility so we were very disappointed. Overall was not a good experience to warrant a return. The staff were unwelcoming. Not all facilities listed were even an option for a additional charges. No drinks bar.
