- Meera (9/5): - My room was awesome. Clean towels and bedding. The room was a self catering unit with everything, very convenient The drainage outside needs some maintenance.
- JAKAVULA (7/5): I rested well and its a place easy to find and close to steers restaurant for dinner - Location perfect for my needs, but not much of a breakfast, however I cant complain because the room rate is very reasonable. Proper full, breakfast: eggs, sausage, tomato, mushroom, bread and butter. Prepared to pay for it.

- Devanand (9/5): The stay was comfortable - The location was excellent just of the hi way. The windmill was close by. The owner was friendly and helpful. We were given an upgrade, at no extra cost.
- Marlene (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nirmala (8/5): Very good - It was like home. Lighting could be brighter.

- Kurtvm (6/5): Pleasant -
- Deirdre (9/5): Superb -
- Keith (8/5): Very good -
- Verisca (3/5): We needed rest and definitely could not get it - The apartment was very clean The bed and sofa couch is hard as a rock. We barely fell asleep when the power went out. We couldn't find any torch or source of light. The place was like a sauna. We opened some windows and then the traffic from the N1 was overwhelming. We left just after 3am, it was impossible to sleep
- Armand (10/5): Exceptional -
- Schiemer (10/5): Self-contained unit perfect for long stays - Super welcoming and helpful hosts who were very helpful in arranging airport transfers. A unique place entirely hand-built by the owner. The bathroom is delightful with mood lighting and a deep tub perfect for warming up in winter. Comfy bed with many pillow choices and warm comforter and blanket. Lovely balcony for early morning coffees and sundowners. Functional kitchen. Wifi and TV with Netflix. Outside the bedroom window are several bird nests and it was very calming and enjoyable to watch the small yellow weaver (ploceus velatus) birds twittering away. Very comfortable unit for long stays. The location is challenging without a car because Uber does not service this location for rides (Pellisier) however - Uber Eats does service this location and the Windmill Casino is within walking distance (4-500m) where there are restaurants (Spur/Ocean Basket). Checkers, Pic n' Pay and Woolworths will also deliver groceries here.
There are two alternatives: the Bolt (https://bolt.eu/en-za/) or Redcat (Rooikat) taxi that might also be possible

Down to earth host. If I have to do business/frequent visits at Mediclinic or UFS I would stay closer and not at Like a Rock...
Otherwise I shall stay there again.
