Kuier sonder water is 'n probleem.

Hanging out without water is a problem.
The water supply was a problem. There was no hot water, as well as no pressure for any water supply. The WiFi pin in the room didn't work either.

Very friendly host. Amenities are very basic, old but neat.
Didn't realize it was a 20 km dirt road to get there - accommodation search was Piet Retief area. Dirt road was quite bad in places - people might be aware of the distance outside the town.

The road was terribly bad, full of potholes all the way there, and no signal to turn on your GPS.
Place is very old, but was clean and the rooms neat. Road was just very bad and took very long to drive there!

The place is not up to standard.
Lights don't work. Water pipes broken. 2 days without power, and also without water. Water was drip-drip. Had to wash in a sink for 2 days where needed. No generator. The road there is impassable. But that cannot be held against the resort.

Disappointing.
Didn't get the room we paid for. Staff didn't even ask who we were when we arrived just took us to a room we didn't book for. Road in bad condition. Reception room untidy.

Definitely worth it!
Elsie and Pieter treated us like family. The braai was great, the room cleaned daily despite the fact that we slept in each day, and the view breathtaking. Elsie and Pieter clearly love animals and we really appreciated the time Elsie sacrificed to tell us more about the monkeys that she rescues and looks after. Due to the recent rains the road to Emahlathini has a lot of potholes, but you can eventually make it if you're patient. Another guest managed to get there with a small Kia Picanto! Can't think of anything negative.

Not satisfactory
The 20km turn off road is terribly bad and full of potholes travelers should be forewarned. The worst of all was the rooster that started crowing incessantly, right in front of our bedroom window at 3:30 in the morning until the sun came up!!! We were terribly tired from being on our way back to SA from Mozambique all day, and the rooster was really just one too many. The whole yard is also full of manure - animals are running around everywhere. Not all guests like this, especially if your kids keep stepping in it. Our room was neat but not the same room as in photos. Faucets do not work in room and there are no heaters. At least there were nice warm blankets. Channel tv is advertised but be warned it's not DSTV at all, and something very strange and unwatchable. Good points: People are very hospitable and prepared a very nice breakfast for us at the dam. Overall we feel the total amount of R1880 for one night's overnight stay with light dinner and hot breakfast was really too much for 2 adults, 7 year old and 2 year old.

Warm welcome.
We stopped at Emahlathini on our way to Kruger National Park from Richards Bay. Elsie received us very kindly and immediately made us feel at home. Sorry we couldn't stay longer. The children really enjoyed the dogs and monkeys. Although Piet Retief is much colder than we are used to, we slept wonderfully warm under the feather duvets and were rested to start our journey the next morning.

The host couple of Emahlatini are genuinely hospitable and make an effort for their guests. The accommodation is clean and tidy. It is a good headquarters from which to visit Swaziland and the regions around Piet Retief.

New friends! Perfect to explore Swaziland from.
The wonderful rooms and beautiful surroundings are supported by friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and we had to stop again for a cup of coffee on the way back from Swaziland... for two hours! Nice, nice people with a heart of gold. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, VERY well laid out and have everything we could need. When we stopped, our own barbecue fire was already burning and Piet and Elsie's sons offered to carry our bags in... service? No, just nice, nice people to hang out with. We look forward to our next visit in a few months when I bring friends from the Middle East to visit as only Piet and Elsie can. Thank you for all the extra arrangements for the rest of our time in South Africa!
