The room has everything you need. The single beds were a bit old.
The room was furnished with the basic necessities and clean. The single beds were very old and slept through. Can be upgraded. Will help if there are plates in room if one wants to heat food in microwave. They might just put pictures of bathrooms on their profile too.

Very clean and safe accommodation. We were kindly received after a long day on the road. Only annoyance was the power outages, but that was definitely not the owner's fault. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, prepared by the owner, before we left the next morning. Outstanding service. Thank you very much.

Apart form all of the normal things being clean, neat and friendly in place, is Penny Lane in a quiet little street, away from the main road with all of its noisy trucks and cars. It is a big plus point. Thank you to the hostess and the host that made everything so pleasant and comfortable.

Great stay before a stopover to Kruger.
Very friendly reception by owner. Neat room with TV and fridge (no safe). WiFi you get 100mb free the rest you have to buy. Through 100mb you're gone! There is nothing to do in the town itself and it is not safe. You can eat well in the town. You can park your car inside under the carport. The breakfast is delicious. We had a choice of English (eggs and bacon) or continental breakfast (egg, ham, cheese). Great for one between stops to Kruger.
