Very disappointed. Not at all what I expected for what I paid for the room, not at all free standing; you are door to door with the other guests, no privacy at all, room too small, no space to unpack your suitcase, no space to unpack your food. Will not recommend for long time stay.

Hi Sindie. Thank you for your review. You'll be pleased to know that we will install extra shelf space as a result of your comments - the buildings cannot be moved though! We hope you find something that better suits you on your next holiday! Regards, The Team @ the Hatchery.

Very disappointed. Not at all what I expected for what I paid per day. No privacy at all; 4/5 sleep units are door to door with the other guests. The units themselves have no space at all, no space to unpack your suitcase, and no space to store your food. One rail big enough for 2 towels in a 4-sleep unit, and the fridge is not working. Will not recommend for long-term stay.

The most amazing hidden gem! What a nice experience! Our time there was just far too short. Will definitely want to stay there for a whole week next time.

Wat 'n lekker belewenis! Ons tyd daar was net veels te kort. Sal beslis volgende keer 'n hele week daar wil bly.

It was the perfect setting and venue for our art break. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful, wet from the rain but still sheltered. Penny's Cottage was off to the side and not part of the other guests, which was nice for us.

Dit was die perfekte omgewing en venue vir ons kunswegbreek. Stil, rustig, mooi, nat van die reën maar steeds beskut. Penny's Cottage was eenkant en nie deel van die ander gaste nie, wat vir ons lekker was.

Special place in a stunning location. We were pleasantly surprised with this one of a kind rustic setting on the beautiful river. Would love to go back especially in summer.

It was good, except for the shower with no hot water. The place is rustic but very clean, we had a great time, the only problem was no one came to clean and the water in the shower was cold no hot water at all, the sink had hot water from the gas geyser and the other bathroom had intermittent hot water but none in the second bathroom and I only ran the hot tap for about 10 minutes and still had no hot water. Only complaint.

Very unique place. If it's a getaway you're looking for, this is the place for you. River/lake is beautiful. The sleeping units are well equipped and clean. Air conditioning was a life saver in the heat. Sleeping units use reflective glass and some do not have curtains which cause other guests to be able to see through your place in the evening. The Kelp's bathroom is visible through the windows and if someone takes a shower in the evening, you can see everything (had to hang towels in front of the windows). Covid influence can be seen and outdoor facilities such as kitchen and braai are not up to standard. It's not bad, but could be cleaner. The Hatchery is an outdoor lifestyle. For that, the outdoor facilities are important and can be improved, especially nicely cleaned. There is also no control over noise and parties. There is plenty of space outside the accommodation units' immediate surroundings and the kind of merriment can be comfortably moved where it does not impact on other guests. Enjoyed once again.

Baie unieke plek. As dit 'n wegbreek is wat jy soek, is dit die plek vir jou. Rivier/meer is pragtig. Die slaapeenhede is goed toegerus en mooi skoon. Lugreëling was 'n lewensredder in die hitte. Slaapeenhede gebruik refleksieglas en party het nie gordyne nie wat veroorsaak dat ander gaste in die aand dwarsdeur jou plek kan sien. The Kelp se badkamer is sigbaar deur die vensters en as iemand in die aand stort, kan jy alles sien (moes handdoeke voor vensters hang). Covid-invloed kan gesien word en buitegeriewe soos kombuis en braaiers nie op standaard nie. Dit is nie sleg nie, maar kan skoner wees. The Hatchery is 'n buite leefstyl. Daarvoor is die buitegeriewe belangrik en kan verbeter word, veral mooi skoongemaak word. Daar is ook nie beheer oor geraas en parties nie. Daar is baie spasie buite die wooneenhede se direkte omgewing en die soort van vrolikheid kan gemaklik geskuif word waar dit nie 'n impak op ander gaste het nie. Nogmaals vreeslik geniet.
