Not what we expected. The farm is beautiful and we really enjoyed doing the hiking trails. However, Saturday night was a letdown with very loud music playing in the bar until 3am the next morning, and then people walking around drinking and sweating until after 4am.

Terrible, no running water, no lock and nothing cleaned, not even worth a star. The accommodation had no running water in it, you had to walk 10 meters to the community bathroom, which you have to share with other people staying there in this COVID time. The workers did not wear masks. The women's bathroom has 2 toilets, 1 shower and 1 bath. None of the doors can lock or have sliding locks. The front door of the women's bathroom can't even close properly. When we got there a women's G-string was lying in the bathroom, when we drove up on Monday it was still there. Our sheets were dirty and hundreds of dead insects were lying on my son's bed. The crockery was dirty, we went to buy paper plates and cups. Their self-catering unit where you have to make food consists of a two-plate stove and kettle. There was a fridge. When we got there on Friday, they put 3 Ricoffy, 3 sugar and 3 Cremora bags and that's all we got for the whole weekend. Our place was not cleaned on Saturday or Sunday, in fact on Sunday no one was there, they were closed. On Saturday the bathrooms were cleaned, but as I said the G-string was still there until the Monday we were gone. Friday night there was a big spider in our room, it's not a problem, but when my child went to ask for Doom, the managers answer was what you are complaining about again. She was very sarcastic. My son had to share the men's bathroom with other men staying there and on Sunday night one toilet overflowed so you couldn't get into the men's bathroom. They then only used the women's bathroom. On Monday morning the janitor said that they were either using too much toilet paper or they were flushing towel paper down the toilet. They were all grown people. I already mentioned that you have to walk to the bathroom and at night there is no lighting on the paths to the bathroom. My son went archery in Thabazimbi and we have to be there before 7 in the morning. It was dark when you have to take a bath and shower. Also, there were no She-bins in the women's restroom, when I asked for it, they brought me hand sanitizer. The only friendly face was the admin lady and the bartender. Also, the site was not decamped, we heard on Sunday when my daughter and I walked around the part that we shouldn't, because there are leopards. Also, the in corridor gate did not work, and had to climb in and out to open the gate.

Verskriklik, geen lopende water, geen toesluit en niks skoon gemaak nie, nie eens 'n ster werd nie. Die blyplek het geen lopende water in gehad nie, jy moes 10 meter ver na gemeenskap badkamer toe loop, wat jy moet deel met ander mense wat daar bly in hierdie COVID-tyd. Die werkers het nie maskers gedra nie. Die badkamer vir die vroue het 2 toilette, 1 stort en 1 bad. Geen van die deure kan toesluit nie of het skuifslotte nie. Die voordeur van die vroue badkamer kan nie eens ordentlik toemaak nie. Toe ons daar aan kom het a vroue G-string in die badkamer gelê, toe ons Maandag ry, was dit steeds daar. Ons lakens was vuil en honderde dooie insekte het op my seun se bed gelê. Die breekgoed was vuil, ons het papierborde and koppies gaan koop. Hulle selfsorg-eenheid waar jy kos moet maak het bestaan uit 'n tweeplaatstofie en ketel. Daar was wel 'n yskas. Hulle het Vrydag toe ons daar aankom 3 Ricoffy-, 3 suiker- and 3 Cremora-sakkies gesit en dis al was ons vir die hele naweek gekry het. Ons plek was nie Saterdag of Sondag skoongemaak nie, trouens Sondag was daar niemand nie, hulle was toe. Saterdag was die badkamers skoongemaak, maar soos ek se die G-string was tot Maandag dat ons daar weg was steeds daar. Vrydagaand was daar 'n groot spinnekop in ons kamer, dit is nie 'n probleem nie, maar toe my kind vir Doom gaan vra was die bestuurderes se antwoord waaroor kla julle nou al weer. Sy was baie sarkasties. My seun moes die mans badkamer met ander mans wat daar gebly het deel en Sondagaand het die een toilet oorgeloop dat jy nie in die mans badkamer in kon kom nie. Hulle het toe maar die vroue badkamer gebruik. Maandagoggend het die opsigter gesê dat hulle of te veel toiletpapier gebruik of hulle het handdoekpapier in die toilet afgespoel. Hulle was almal volwasse mense. Ek het reeds genoem dat jy na die badkamer toe moet loop en in die nag is daar geen verligting op die paadjies na die badkamer toe nie. My seun het in Thabazimbi geboogskiet en ons moet al voor 7 in die oggend daar wees. Dit was donker as jy moet gaan bad en stort. Ook was daar geen She-bins in die vroue toilet nie, toe ek vir dit vra, bring hulle vir my hand sanitizer. Die enigste vriendelike gesig was die admindame en die barman. Ook was die terrein nie afgekamp nie, ons het Sondag gehoor toe ek en my dogter om die deel stap dat ons nie moet nie, want daar is luiperde. Ook het die in ganghek nie gewerk nie, en moes in- en uitklim om die hek oop te maak.

Dear Lynsie, I investigated your complaints above and my staff were very surprised as they assure me they were friendly and helpful at all times. Magda immediately provided her with a can of Doom. You have booked the semi-self-catering cabin, which clearly indicates that the minimal kitchenette facilities are available and has the use of ablution block, which was right next to you. The sink for washing up facilities for your unit is also against the wall of the ablution which is not 1.5 meters away. The ablution was about 3 meters away from you. You were provided with 3 x coffee, 6 x sugar and 3 x cremoras according to my staff because you only booked and paid for 3 people, then you were actually 4. We did not ask you extra for your daughter. Unfortunately, we have no control over how people use the ablution block, but it was cleaned on Saturday, as was your accommodation. My household cleans every day and Saturdays, but as we make reservations we do let all our guests know that we are closed on a Sunday and that there are no services on the farm on a Sunday. We have 2 large lights from the ablution block as well as all along the paths and find it strange that you say you were in the dark in the morning. The sheets were definitely not dirty as we put on clean bed linen before the arrival of guests and mattresses are sanitized and left in the sun. Bugs will be everywhere in the forest and are unfortunately beyond our control. Linens are also washed before arrival but because you have the semi-self-catering, the kitchenette is on the front porch and with the bush it might have been a bit full of dust. We are very sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced, but would have suggested that you book a self-catering chalet instead if we had known about your problems. According to my staff you were very kind to them and they to you and you had no complaints while you were here, we now find it very strange that you have so many complaints about Thaba'Nkwe and staff. We are on a farm and try to please everyone and do our utmost with Covid to sanitize everything and all chalets, cabins are properly cleaned before guests' arrival. Unfortunately, I was not at the farm this weekend and am very sorry for your unhappiness. regards Marieke Manager THABA'NKWE

More Lynsie, Ek het ondersoek ingestel op u klagtes hierbo en my staf was baie verbaas, want hulle verseker my dat hulle te alle tye vriendelik en behulpsaam was. Magda het haar dadelik van 'n blik Doom voorsien. U het die semi-selfcatering cabin geboek, wat duidelik aanwys dat die minimale kombuisie geriewe beskikbaar is en die gebruik van ablusie blok het, wat reg langs julle gestaan het. Die wasbak vir opwas geriewe vir u eenheid is ook teen die muur van die ablusie wat nie 1.5 meter weg is nie. Die ablusie is omtrent 3 meter weg van u af gewees. Julle was voorsien van 3 x koffie, 6 x suiker en 3 x cremoras volgens my staf want julle het net bespreek en betaal vir 3 mense, toe is julle eintlik 4. Ons het u nie extra gevra vir u dogter nie. Ongelukkig het ons nie beheer oor hoe mense die ablusieblok gebruik nie, maar dit was skoongemaak Saterdag, asook u verblyf. My huishouding maak elke dag en Saterdae skoon, maar soos ons besprekings doen laat ons wel al ons gaste weet dat ons toe is op 'n Sondag en dat daar geen dienste op 'n Sondag op die plaas is nie. Ons het 2 groot ligte van die ablusie blok asook al langs al die padjies en vind dit vreemd dat u se dat u in die donker was in die oggend. Die lakens was definitief nie vuil nie aangesien ons voor aankoms van gaste skoon beddegoed opsit en matrasse word gesanitiseer en in die son gelos. Goggas sal maar oral in die bos wees en is ongelukkig buite ons beheer. Breekgoed word ook gewas voor aankoms maar omdat u die semi-selfcatering het, is die kombuisie op die voorstoep en met die bos sal dit dalk bietjie vol stof gewees het. Ons is baie jammer oor die ongerief wat u ervaar het, maar sou wel voorgestel het dat u eerder 'n self-catering chalet geboek het as ons van u probleme geweet het. Volgens my staf was u baie vriendelik met hulle en hulle met u en het u geen klagtes gehad terwyl u hier was nie, ons vind dit nou baie vreemd dat u soveel klagtes het oor Thaba'Nkwe en staf. Ons is op 'n plaas en probeer almal tevrede stel en doen ons uiterste met Covid om alles te sanitiseer en alle chalets, cabins word ordentlik skoongemaak voor gaste se aankoms. Ek was ongelukkig nie die naweek op die plaas nie en is baie jammer oor u ongelukkigheid. Groete Marieke Bestuurder THABA'NKWE
