Nice break away.
Paradise Village is a lovely place to rest along the Magalies River. Better than camping, had everything we needed. Warm bed and hot water. Pool to cool off and breathtaking scenery. Nonnie and her cute dog were very friendly and immediately made us feel at home. Thanks for visiting, we'll see you again!

Accommodation needs attention.
Next to an informal settlement with no gate. Doors could not lock from the inside. If you used the shower the water ran into the room. A kettle in the room would be a big plus. Disappointed what they offer you for the price. Is ideal for a motorcycle group or a bunch of men.

Overnight only one night.
We did not use the facilities as we only stayed one night. Calm atmosphere. However, was concerned about the motorbikes that had to stand outside in the rain without protection. Owners were very friendly. Resort needs renovation, but that's understandable due to the 2-year-long Covid restrictions.

Very friendly welcome.
Place looks nice and cute, but we are disappointed in the following: The room had many small spiders and nests. Spiders inside the bed that had no sheets and the blanket that was on was dirty. Not acceptable at all. The people next door in tin houses made noise until very late. I would not advise anyone to spend the night there, Paradise Village drags the website's name through the mud. They should take the place off their database, it's neglected and weak. Carpets and bed base dirty. Not decent shower curtain. Water from shower ran out. No hanging space for your clothes and towels. Short on attention for sure.

Friday evening was wet and cold - then I saw the electric blanket on my bed. Wow! The bedding is top quality and very clean. We could listen to our favorite songs without worrying about the neighbours. This is truly a paradise where you can sleep. Awe.

Peaceful stay.
Lovely peaceful accommodation between trees and near the river. Bamboos huts create an oriental feel but can be upgraded inside. Carpets in toilets do not work so well. Owen tried really hard to sort out any problem we had. One person to handle everything is too few. Owner's dogs in our cabins and everywhere between us were sometimes a problem for us. Fortunately, Nonnie, the owner closed them when she saw that it was bothering us.

Unpleasant.
Not good value for money. Cute "setup". Units not good standard. Bed is uncomfortable and broken, falls to waist. Carpet in room is long-haired and was wet and it stinks. Dogs on yard come in in unity and there was one behind the sofa that we didn't know about, only at night he decided to come out. Fleas in unity. Unit unpleasant, stuffy smell.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons is in die omgewing die goedkoopste en kompeterend met kamptariewe. Jammer as julle meer verwag het. Ons het ons bes probeer om dit so gemaklik moontlik te maak en selfs die gaste ingeboek in die enigste chalet met eie yskas en ook nie omgegee dat hulle gaste 'n aand by hulle deurgebring het nie.

Good Morning,
Kindly go back to the original booking. I firstly want to apologise that the place is so disgusting that I didn't recognise it as my place.
The booking was for 2 x 2 sleepers. A deposit of R700 was paid to TravelGround. I was then contacted by the guest with a request that they will now only be 3 and they are singles. I then had to change the booking to single beds (the only single beds is where they slept). They arrived 20.30 pm. and said one of the friends dropped them. In other words. A booking for 4 pax was then 2. I waited up for them and personally welcomed them. I paid one of my workers extra to help them carry their stuff. The lights were on and the doors were open because it was dark and late.
The linen? I do all the linen myself. I put out coffee, etc. for them. They had their own fridge and gas stove with crockery and cutlery, whereas the other guests shared a kitchen. I am here 18 years and am so fortunate to say that it is safe. As for mosquitoes. We are in the bush and I am trying to avoid poisonous insect repellents.
My apologies for all the inconvenience.
Regards
Nonnie.

Decided against staying there.
My husband and I visitd Paradise Village the preceding weekend and, as explained telephonically to Abigail, we were utterly disappointed. No proper entrance, unsafe, dirty, green pool and the Jacuzzi is out of order. No reception just a young man who told us the "manager" was not there and we could call her later. So we decided to forfeit our R480 deposit rather than staying there. This place should not be approved in my opinion.

Eerstens is ek werklik jammer dat ek nie hier was nie. Jy is heeltemal reg hier is nie 'n formele ontvangs nie omdat dit vir my lekker is om gaste persoonlik te ontvang en welkom te heet. Ek is naweke hier vir die gaste, maar gedurende die week is ek nie altyd hier nie, maar sal natuurlik alle afsprake nakom.
Ek is dankbaar om te se dat ek amper 20 jaar hier is en nog altyd veilig was.
Baie jammer dat julle teleurgesteld was.

Nice, but not quite what I was looking for!
The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, so 10 out of 10 for her! But if you are looking for a luxury place, this is not the place. It's very beautiful and I think there is a lot of potential, but it reminds me of camping. I think the price is a bit high for what you get. Cute setup, but the bed was old and very hard. The bedding doesn't look nice anymore, and there was no hot water, but I learned that the problem was solved after we left. But as I say, the owner goes out of her way to help so thanks for that.

Good Morning,
I am really sorry about the warm water. I actually booked them in another chalet and gave them a choice. They decided on the chalet on the river, so I didn't check everything. My sincere apologies. The warm water was a problem. Beging in Skeerpoort we couldn't get a new thermostat on a Sunday. The best alternative was to let them have a shower in another chalet.
