A home away from home. The perfect space to come reset and recover from life. A peaceful environment where you can enjoy waking up to the sounds of nature, rather than the usual city noise.

Definitely not what one would expect. I fail to understand how you can keep this accommodation on the books. It is filthy, the walls are covered in mildew, electricity is unsafe and not what is advertised. You should visit the place to evaluate first hand. I have numerous photos which will be addressed separately. Various permanents advised that they were not allowed to discuss circumstances with us. There is a dangerous dog, apparently the caretaker's, that nearly killed another. Even before the attack, we heard it had attacked another and a human. I booked in two days early and paid cash. The next day when asking for a receipt, I was asked "Don't you trust me?". The answer is"No!" I am finding it difficult to not believe fraud is in place!

No cleaning service as promised, photos and reality were 2 different things. Upon arrival we were taken to a dirty place that was not safe at all, next to the warehouse where everyone was hanging out. My little boy was almost bitten by the dogs that charged at him. We had to stand in the corner of the dirty house and wait for the worker to tie up the dogs. There is no way I would stay in that place as a single mother. We were moved to another place. Photos are misleading.

Geen skoonmaakdiens soos belowe, foto's en realiteit was 2 verskillende dinge. Op aankoms was ons na 'n vuil plek geneem wat glad nie veilig is nie teen die stoor waar als rondle. My seuntjie was amper deur die honde gebyt wat op hom afgestorm het. Ons moes in die vuil huis in die hoek staan en wag dat die werker die honde vasmaak. Daar is nie 'n manier wat ek in daai plek sou bly as enkelma nie. Ons was geskuif na 'n ander plek. Foto's is misleidend.

Didn't enjoy it much. You can't spend the whole day there. Was worried about safety, number one. No cleanliness. No cleaning services. Units very dirty, as well as bathrooms not up to standard. Not educated or decent security. You have to open and close the car gate yourself. Aggressive dogs running around loose and attacking people. Windows that open from the outside and no security fence. They expect a single mother and a young child to stay far away from everything and everyone. It's near a squatter camp. Have to walk far at night to go to the bathroom. You can't rate the stars, because it's really extremely poor. I'm disappointed because the place is recommended.

Het dit nie veel geniet nie. Deur die dag kan jy nie daar spandeer nie. Was bekommerd oor veiligheid, nommer een. Niks netheid nie. Nie skoonmaakdienste nie. Eenhede baie vuil, asook badkamers nie op standaard nie. Nie opgevoede of ordentlike sekuriteit nie. Motorhek moet jy self oop- en toemaak. Aggressiewe honde wat los rondhardloop en mense bestorm. Vensters wat van buite af oopmaak en niks veiligheidsheining nie. Hulle verwag dat 'n enkel ma en 'n jong kind vêr in die hoek van alles en almal bly. Dit naby 'n plakkerskamp. Moet vêr loop in die nag om badkamer toe te gaan. Mens kan nie die sterretjies rate nie, want dis regtig uiters swak. Ek is teleurgesteld omdat die plek aanbeveel word.

Great break from city life and noise. Last visit on Chavel Vapeur was so much better and relaxing than the first few times.

Fantastiese wegbreek van die stadslewe en geraas. Laaste kuier op Chavel Vapeur was soveel keer beter en relaxing as die eerste paar keer.
