"Caretaker" is tops. Stayed at 2 different units. Sunday afternoon - a group of 20 plus were sitting outside and hanging out, but about half an hour after I checked in, they turned down the music. The guesthouse only sleeps 14 people, so it's clear that outside visitors are allowed to hang out with guests. The next morning it looked like a hurricane had hit the place, as liquor bottles were littering the outside. At Room 3 - no outside light outside the unit. Came in after 10pm and felt unsafe standing in the dark to unlock the unit. At Room 4 - the unit is near the main gate. The outside gate to the unit doesn't close properly. There are also no outside chairs. Linen and towels have clearly been washed a lot and could do with an upgrade. No free basic toiletries were provided as advertised. First booking was for 3 nights, however only received 2 sachets of coffee, which was quite disappointing. For accommodation like this, I would estimate R500 maximum per night per person is enough. R700 per night is "overpriced".

Het by 2 verskillende eenhede gebly. Sondagmiddag - 'n groep van 20 plus het buite sit en kuier, maar so halfuur nadat ek ingeboek het, het hulle die musiek sagter gesit. Die gastehuis beskik net oor slaapplek vir 14 mense, dus is dit duidelik dat buite besoekers toegelaat word om te kuier by gaste. Die volgende oggend het dit gelyk of 'n orkaan die plek getref het, soos drankbottels buite rongele het. By Kamer 3 - geen buitelig buite die eenheid. Het saans na 10 ingekom en onveilig gevoel om in die donker te staan om die eenheid oop te sluit. By Kamer 4 - die eenheid sit naby die hoofhek. Die buitehek na die eenheid maak nie behoorlik toe nie. Daar is ook nie buite stoele nie. Linne en handdoeke is duidelik al baie gewas en kan gerus opgegradeer word. Geen gratis basiese toiletware is voorsien soos geadverteer nie. Eerste bespreking was vir 3 nagte, het egter net 2 sakkies koffie ontvang, wat nogal teleurstellend was. Vir verblyf soos dit, sou ek reken R500 maksimum per nag per persoon is genoeg. R700 per nag is "overprice".

Not the best because of the noise. There was a party going on, and we couldn't sleep. It's a nice place but had bad guests when we were there.

Cozy. It was a pleasant experience. I travelled from Burgersfort, Limpopo, to Johannesburg, Gauteng. My mind was at ease knowing that I had a place to rest my head. There was constant communication to ensure I was not alone on the trip. Upon arrival, I was welcomed with open hands. Bedding was nice. The only thing was there was no shampoo or lotion. But I brought my own, so it wasn't a disaster. Highly recommend. Great value for money.

Home away from home! It was awesome and I'd definitely book this place again! I just wish they had furniture for the patio area! It's not the same without it.
