- Roux (8/5): - Rooms were clean and neat
- Wynandus (8/5): -
- Nandi (1/5): -
- Adon (1/5): Not a 4 star accommodation - Friendly staff. Old and not well maintained. Beds are uncomfortable with springs poking through. The bathroom ceiling was completely covered in black mould which made us quite uncomfortable staying there.
- Raquel (4/5): - Pool was nice once we got to use it. There was a party every evening, so it was extremely noisy when we just wanted peace and quiet.
- Estelle (2/5): Horrible experience! - Room was nice The hosts/owners were extremely noisy and banging doors until 4:20 AM right outside our room window. Shouting the entire night. We did not sleep at all!
- Erwee (7/5): - It is a beautiful place and customer service is excellent, there was no power but the hosts were extremely accommodating regarding the problem. overall not a bad place at all.
- Eric (3/5): -
- Karla (7/5): -
- Jade (5/5): -
- Nokulunga Tonga (7/5): comfortable and pleasant stay - spacious and clean room nothing comes to mind
- Keightley (8/5): -
- Navasha (5/5): - The closeness to the wedding location The property is very outdated for the price you pay. The wifi didnt work and you can hear everything from the next room.
All communication was through whatsapp and on arrival the staff just handed me the key and said hello.
I wont book again here
- Mpho (6/5): Pleasant -
- Teboho (8/5): Very good -
- Yolo (7/5): Good -
- Jacqueline (9/5): Superb - Rooms were clean. Staff were friendly Nothing I didnt like
Could have had a bit more coffee sugar milk in the room
- Lucas (5/5): Not bad ,but not good..... - We needed a good location to stay over for our visit to attend a function. I booked 3 rooms,all the rooms were clean , but dated. The DSTV did not work the first night ,once this was sorted it had very little options.
- Helena (5/5): Location suited our requirements - Close to function Leaking bathroom basin, linen needs to be updated or replaced have marks on them, tablecloths have holes, bath sheets not handctowels
- Morgan (3/5): Poor -
- Donovan (1/5): A bit misled by the photos. - Photographs were not accurate.
- Milford (8/5): Perfect for an overnight -
- Morgan (1/5): Take your client serious - The place needs a lot of attention, TV not working, grass not cut, the eating area was not up to standard. We ended up not staying there and forfeited half of the money paid. Not value for money
- Riette (8/5): It was very convenient as we attended a wedding at another venue. - The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean. The pillows on the bed are extremely thin.
- Nel (4/5): Disappointing - The location is close to the main wedding venues and the staff are very friendly and helpful The place needs maintenance - The shower head literally moves when it's turned on 🫠 now imagine getting soap in your eyes and having to locate where the shower head is.
The bed did not feel clean, there were old blood stains on the duvet cover and there was what felt like sand inside the bed.
The roof looks burnt, like there was an electrical short or something
- Jacobus (6/5): Will not visit them again unfortunately - Location Got there and they had lost my booking. Instead of 4 double rooms we had to sleep in 2 rooms packed with extra beds.
- Mosia (8/5): it was amazing and definetly coming back soon - its very quiet and peaceful....very safe...room was very clean....staff very friendly our room did nt hv the fridge...
- Christine (8/5): Very good -
- Chris (9/5): Delivered exactly what was promised. - Cleanliness, helpful staff & pool facility. Toilet in the room rather than separate.
- Mhlupheki (7/5): Good -
- Mariska (4/5): Disappointing - It was close to the wedding venue. Facility is open to the public. People at the pool from early to late. Do not feel safe, loud, and unpleasant.
- Lee-anne (9/5): Short safe good. - No we did not opt for breakfast left early. N/a
- Keagan (2/5): The worst accommodation I’ve experienced through booking.com - Nothing Everything
- Kanakana (7/5): Bed is comfortable, no noise - The rooms are clean and the staff are friendly, even the pool is clean No shelter for parking, yard is dirty and grass not trimmed or cut, and the break fast is not make sure, no soap, shower cap and etc in the room
- Mpho (8/5): Very good -
- Mahlubi (8/5): Very good -
- Elizabeth (7/5): Room nr 5 - The location was good Room nr 5. It did not feel very private. The bedroom window was iIN the reception area. So we had too close the curtains from the moment we arrived for privacy. Could not open a window. It was very warm and there was no air circulation in the room. The room door also has a glass pane, although shaded, once the light was on its a different story. A passage light was also left on for the entire evening, which lighted up the room.
- Mangau (6/5): Pleasant -
- Booysen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna-marie (7/5): Good -
- Leneigh (1/5): Shit show of a place - Nothing coz the people that work here are unprofessional and needs to learn that you can’t let ppl know a day beforehand that you made a mistake by dubble booking Shit place would not recommend this place to anyone
They let us know a day before our trip that they made a dubble booking and can’t accommodate us anymore but they gave us another place 3km further from them and the place they made us book in because a stupid fault they made didn’t even have a simple tv or bar fridge would not refer anyone here
- Johannes (8/5): Very good -
- Mary-anne (7/5): Good -
- Zané (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joke (8/5): cozy comfortable affordable accommodation near wedding venues. - Rooms are beautiful and breakfast was delicious, absolutely worth the money we paid. Fishpond was in a bad state, needed water and attention.
- Scheffer (5/5): Passable - Breakfast was average
Room had no proper ventelation
- Jenilee (8/5): It was quite and clean, staff did not come to bug us, they respected our privacy. - The fridge made quite a noise at night, so we had to unplug it for. but other then that, it was good
- Ria (8/5): Very good - The bed was comfortable. Had a good night's sleep!!!!
- Brutus (8/5): Very good -
- Willie (6/5): Pleasant -
- De (5/5): Passable - Size of my room (1) was excellent Certain guest's did not take consideration to anyone else. Using the main lounge audio system or similar to play music on 100% till late. My room was opposite the lounge. It's was very loud and people were in and out. Constant makinkin a noise by banging doors. Staff did nothing to stop this. This was on Friday. On Saturday the same happened but this time I escalated this to staff.
- Ané (7/5): Good - Very nice and helpful. Comfortable and we felt at home. That the management wasn't always on the ball with arrangements.
- Caron (5/5): Passable - The accomodation serves it's purpose, nothing fancy. The staff at the venue are helpful and very friendly.
However, I would not book here again. I was the reason the establishment was almost fully booked for a night but the owner refused to entertain waiving the early check in fee for me - I completely understand having policies, but being open to compromise should also be considered, in my opinion.
- V (6/5): ok but I will not come again - It was neat and clean out dated; no coffee/tea etc. in room only empty sachets from previous visitors, no place for towels to dry
bedding not as supposed to be
- Mnisi (1/5): Bad -
- Conny (8/5): Very good -
- Cecilia (8/5): Very good - Cost was reflective of what was on offer. Place was clean and the breakfast was prepared on request in the morning. Nothing
- Margaret (10/5): The stay was present. - It was perfect.
The food was well presented The reception when we arrived at the gate we waited a little while before anyone could attend to us.
- Jali (7/5): Good - Friendly staff, location was great. In my bedroom there was no towel, some of the things that I needed I had to ask them for myself, so with that I can say the treatment was not good enough.
- Louisa (9/5): Superb -
- Louisa (9/5): Superb -
- Khomotso (1/5): Bad Service - The place was nice as advertised The staff were rude and i ended up requesting my money and left in the middle of the night to get a better service somewhere.
- Janet (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yolanda (8/5): Very good -
- Jaypie22 (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff. Zazu!
- Richard.fraser (8/5): Very good - We stayed in Room 1. This was an amazing room, a huge bath and shower. Very comfortable and clean Could have done with more coffee and bottled water
- Angela (6/5): You get what you pay for - Proximity to venue for a wedding we were attending I requested a 13h00 check in and was told to try for 13h30. We were kept waiting at the gate with calls on the intercom and phonelines going unanswered until 13h45. We then entered a lounge with furniture in dire need of a cleaning, with no staff in sight & other guests waiting to be checked in. We were then at 14h00, given a room contrary to our booking by one of the cleaning ladies.. After explaining that I booked a family suite with 2 double beds, we were then kept waiting some more, leaving very little time to get ready for a 15h00 wedding down the road once we were shown to our room, which was prepared in such a rush, there was still trash in the bins. With no time to make alternative arrangements, we dropped our bags hastily got dressed for our event & dashed off. Upon our return at 01h30, a security guard met us and used his cell phone torch to escort us to our room from the carpark as the one & only light in the grounds was flashing more off than on.
The bed was clean & comfortable enough for a one night stay. & at the price paid - I thought what I was paying was a pppn rate & would have been wild if it was.
Sadly, we were interested in buying honey, but nobody was available to sell to us or give us more information when we dropped the room keys at the kitchen in the morning.
- Robert (8/5): Very good -
- Thateho (7/5): Good -
- Nalinee (9/5): Superb -
- Khomotso (10/5): Exceptional -
- Louisa (8/5): Very good -
- Ann (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were friendly and more than accommodating to requests.
- Hendricks (10/5): Exceptional -
- Abigael (1/5): This place should be called “Rock Bottom” - the staff we encountered were great. But the owner Lulu is on another planet and obviously does not care about her customers whatsoever. I’m sorry but this place is terrible.
We had no electricity the entire weekend. Our toilet was broken, which we informed the staff about. when I complained to the owner she said I should have informed them and they would’ve fixed it, but we did so….
Traffic noise the entire night and day. no privacy in our room as guests were walking past and talking in the morning and late in the evening.
The other guests (who arrived after midnight both nights) did not even have keys to get into the main building and ended up waking us up on more than one occasion with us having to let them in.
Absolutely ridiculous.
save yourself a terrible trip and NEVER BOOK HERE.
- Lauren (8/5): Very good -
- Sharleen (4/5): Disappointing - We made arrangements to book in earlier from 12:00 due to wedding at 14:00
this did not happen
- Jerrie (7/5): Good -
- Jana (7/5): Good -
