Not bad. Please ask them to change the bed mattress as that bed, all you hear is springs when moving, and it is uncomfortable.

Very disappointing. It is very clear that this place previously belonged to someone else who poured a lot of love into it. The entire property is well planned and laid out. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it and was surprised that this property is on the books. I give the following reasons: The garden is terribly neglected and the most beautiful and expensive plants are dead and begging for water. We could see that the dead ends of the plants had been cut off with scissors. There are fish ponds everywhere, but the water in them is black. The sliding door of the units has no sticker on it and I personally bumped my head very hard twice against it. Between the bathroom and bedroom areas is a shallow step and my husband almost fell when his foot caught on it. No warning sign for the step. The kitchens look unkempt and I wish I could upload the photos I took. The shower was incredibly dirty and we were afraid to shower there. There is a TV, but we had no reception and therefore could not watch our programs. My spouse and I are old people over 70. This is definitely not a place for older people, as there are incredibly steep stairs that one has to climb. These stairs were not lit at night and we could only get to our vehicle with great difficulty in the evening. The number of the owner was never given to us and we could not ask him to help with e.g. the TV. There are no signs of finishing with a soap opera or anything like that for hospitality. When we checked in, the coffee, tea, and sugar container was practically empty. We could not do any WiFi or internet banking. Not available. The place was honestly a disappointment to us.

Baie teleurstellend. Dit is baie duidelik dat hierdie plek voorheen aan iemand anders behoort het wat baie liefde daarin gestort het. Die hele perseel is goed beplan en uitgelê. Ek kan dit ongelukkig nie aanbeveel nie en was inteedeel verbaas dat hierdie eiendom op die boeke is. Ek gee die volgende redes: Die tuin is vreeslik verwaarloos en die mooiste en duurste plante staan kurkdroog en soebat vir water. Ons kon sien dat die dooie punte van die plante met 'n skêr afgesny is. Daar is visdammetjies oral aangebring, maar die water daarin is swart. Die skuifdeur van die eenhede het geen plakker op nie en het ek persoonlilk twee keer baie hard kop gestamp daarteen. Tussen die badkamer en slaapkamer se gedeeltes is 'n vlak trappie en het my man amper geval toe sy voet daaraan hak. Geen waarskuwingsteken vir die trappie nie. Die kombuise lyk onversorg en ek wens ek kan die foto's laai wat ek geneem het. Die stort was ongelooflik vuil en het ons gegril om daar te stort. Daar is 'n TV, maar ons het geen ontvangs gehad nie en kon dus nie ons programme kyk nie. Ek en my gade is ou mense bo 70. Dit is beslis nie 'n plek vir ouer mense nie, aangesien daar ongelooflike steil trappe is waarteen mens moet opklim. Hierdie trappe was nie saans verlig nie en kon ons in die aand net met baie moeite by ons voertuig uitkom. Die nommer van die eienaar was nooit aan ons verstrek nie en kon ons hom nie vra om te help met bv. die TV nie. Daar is niks tekens van afronding met 'n sepie of iets dergliks vir gasvryheid nie. Toe ons inboek was die koffie-, tee-, en suikerhouer feitlik leeg. Ons kon geen WiFi- of internetbankdienste doen nie. Nie beskikbaar. Die plek was eerlik vir ons 'n teleurstellling.

Nice view, quiet neighborhood. The place needs a lot of TLC. Clean but clear signs of neglect. Ceiling story in dining room hanging loose, another previous party's one year balloon floating around on living room ceiling. Refrigerator badly rusted inside. Had a nice stay. Place smells a bit stuffy, but it's a problem to leave windows open with naughty monkeys around. Masango is friendly and helpful.

Mooi uitsig, rustige woonbuurt. Die plek kort baie TLC. Skoon maar duidelike tekens van verwaarlosing. Plafonstorie in eetkamer hang los, nog 'n vorige partytjie se een jaar se ballon dryf rond op sitkamerplafon. Yskas binne erg geroes. Het wel lekker gebly. Plek ruik bietjie bedompig, maar dit is 'n probleem om vensters oop te los met stoute apies in die omtrek. Masango is vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Disappointing. The place was once lovely, but currently there is no maintenance done to the place and it is very neglected. Dirty and very disappointed as the photos are not the real picture at all.

Teleurstellend. Die plek was eens op 'n tyd lieflik gewees, maar tans word daar geen onderhoud aan die plek gedoen nie en dit is bitter verwaarloos. Vuil en bitter teleurgesteld gewees aangesien die foto's glad nie die ware prentjie is nie.

Satisfactory. Nice stay, but place has poor host and is poorly managed.

Bevredigend. Lekker gebly, maar plek het swak gasheer en word swak bestuur.

Disappointed. The venue needs a good cleanup. The fridge is dirty, the aircon is not working, the DSTV is not on as it had not been paid, the fan is dirty, there are broken taps, paint is peeling on the walls, and the braai is broken. There is no WiFi and no backup generator for load shedding. Not in the condition as advertised.

Weak. I can't even choose one star because it was so bad in reality. Compared to the photos, no value for money. For paying more than R10 for 7 nights and the following is wrong, I don't recommend it to anyone: The main bedroom shower was so dirty we had to drive and buy cleaning supplies to clean it, the toilet didn't have a lid, the drawer handle was off, the standing fan in the room was broken, the bed only had an inner ear, not even a cover, the pillows were missing the sheets, the room's walls were dirty, it looked like someone had wiped a pouf on the wall. The air conditioners in both rooms were disconnected so you couldn't use them. The dining room table was full of grease stains and the roof leaked into it when it rained. Added to that, we had 5 days of rain out of 7 days. The TV room smelled like soot and all the spray you used couldn't get the smell out. The other bedroom's bathroom light didn't work and the shower was just as dirty. All the lights in the house, including the one on the porch, have sensors, so if you don't move for 10 minutes, everything goes off. Not to mention the geysers that are shared by 3 places, so you don't have hot water if you want to shower at 6:00 PM. The blinds in the TV room and dining room are broken and hanging loose, your privacy is not there, because other people just walk through the porch's sliding door to the pool area, and because the blinds don't close completely, you can't even sit in your pajamas at the TV. The other room's one light doesn't work by the bed and they just stuck white insulating tape over the switch, so you couldn't use it. It wasn't worth the money we paid for the 7 nights. The photos are a farce compared to what we got in the 5-bedroom unit.

Swak. Ek kan nie eintlik eers een ster kies nie, want dit was so swak in werklikheid. Teenoor die fotos, geen waarde vir geld nie. Om vir 7 nagte meer as R10 te betaal en die volgende is fout, stel ek dit nie voor aan enige iemand nie: Hoofslaapkamer se stort was so vuil ons moes ry en skoonmaakmiddels gaan koop om skoon te maak, die toilet het nie 'n deksel gehad nie, die laai se handvatsel was af, in die kamer was die staanwaaier gebroke, die bed het net 'n inner oor gehad, nie eers 'n cover nie, die slope was gemis van die kussings, die kamer se mure was vuil, dit lyk of iemand poef aan die muur gevee het. Die aircons in albei kamers was disconnected dat mens dit nie kon gebruik nie. Eetkamertafel was vol vet kolle en die dak lek daar in as dit reën. Bygevoeg, ons het uit 7 dae 5 dae reën gehad. Die TV kamer het geruik soos roet en al die spuit wat mens ook al gebruik, kon nie die reuk uitkry nie. Die ander slaapkamer se badkamerlig het nie gewerk nie en die stort was net so vuil. Al die ligte in die huis, insluitend die op die stoep, het sensors, so as mens vir 10 minute nie beweeg nie, gaan alles af. Nie te praat van die geisers wat deur 3 plekke gedeel word, dat mens nie warm water het as jy 18:00 wil stort nie. Die blinds in die TV kamer en eetkamer is stukkend en hang los, jou privaatheid is daar nie, want die ander mense loop sommer deur die stoep se skuideur na die swembadarea toe, en omdat die blinds nie heeltemal toe gaan nie, kan mens nie eers in jou nagklere by die TV sit nie. Die ander kamer se een lig werk nie by die bed nie en hulle het sommer net wit isolasietape oor die skakelaar geplak, dat mens dit nie kon gebruik nie. Dit was nie die geld werd wat ons betaal het vir die 7 nagte nie. Die fotos is 'n klug teenoor wat ons gekry het in die slaap 5 eenheid.

We had a wonderful time, relaxation getaway. We had a great few days away, it was peaceful and serene. It was very comfortable; all facilities were good. A cosy kitchen, safe environment.

Good for overnight. Was happy, was only there for one night.

Goed vir oornag. Was happy, was net vir een aand daar.
