Felt very at home. Yes, nice stay. Just slept over. I was greeted friendly at 9pm and told off friendly and helpfully at 7am. I would have just expected the fridge to be on when I got there.

Het baie tuis gevoel. Ja, lekker gebly. Het net oorgeslaap. Ek is 21:00 vriendelik ontvang en 07:00 vriendelik en behulpsaam af gesê. Sou net verwag het dat die yskas aan was toe ek daar gekom het.

Not clean. The place wasn't cleaned before we arrived. The linen wasn't clean; they cleaned it 5 days after we arrived. Not very good.

Same as above. Stay was good. A little more attention to detail would be appreciated. The swimming pool was great.

Rather disappointing. When I arrived, I was told there is no WiFi, and the aircon is not working. I then said that's not as advertised; I would prefer a refund. He then retrieved the remote for the aircon and got me a WiFi dongle. Then the toilet seat fell off. The bed sheets were see-through and there was no mattress protector.

Very disappointing. It is very clear that this place previously belonged to someone else who poured a lot of love into it. The entire property is well planned and laid out. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it and was surprised that this property is on the books. I give the following reasons: The garden is terribly neglected and the most beautiful and expensive plants are dead and begging for water. We could see that the dead ends of the plants had been cut off with scissors. There are fish ponds everywhere, but the water in them is black. The sliding door of the units has no sticker on it and I personally bumped my head very hard twice against it. Between the bathroom and bedroom areas is a shallow step and my husband almost fell when his foot caught on it. No warning sign for the step. The kitchens look unkempt and I wish I could upload the photos I took. The shower was incredibly dirty and we were afraid to shower there. There is a TV, but we had no reception and therefore could not watch our programs. My spouse and I are old people over 70. This is definitely not a place for older people, as there are incredibly steep stairs that one has to climb. These stairs were not lit at night and we could only get to our vehicle with great difficulty in the evening. The number of the owner was never given to us and we could not ask him to help with e.g. the TV. There are no signs of finishing with a soap opera or anything like that for hospitality. When we checked in, the coffee, tea, and sugar container was practically empty. We could not do any WiFi or internet banking. Not available. The place was honestly a disappointment to us.

Baie teleurstellend. Dit is baie duidelik dat hierdie plek voorheen aan iemand anders behoort het wat baie liefde daarin gestort het. Die hele perseel is goed beplan en uitgelê. Ek kan dit ongelukkig nie aanbeveel nie en was inteedeel verbaas dat hierdie eiendom op die boeke is. Ek gee die volgende redes: Die tuin is vreeslik verwaarloos en die mooiste en duurste plante staan kurkdroog en soebat vir water. Ons kon sien dat die dooie punte van die plante met 'n skêr afgesny is. Daar is visdammetjies oral aangebring, maar die water daarin is swart. Die skuifdeur van die eenhede het geen plakker op nie en het ek persoonlilk twee keer baie hard kop gestamp daarteen. Tussen die badkamer en slaapkamer se gedeeltes is 'n vlak trappie en het my man amper geval toe sy voet daaraan hak. Geen waarskuwingsteken vir die trappie nie. Die kombuise lyk onversorg en ek wens ek kan die foto's laai wat ek geneem het. Die stort was ongelooflik vuil en het ons gegril om daar te stort. Daar is 'n TV, maar ons het geen ontvangs gehad nie en kon dus nie ons programme kyk nie. Ek en my gade is ou mense bo 70. Dit is beslis nie 'n plek vir ouer mense nie, aangesien daar ongelooflike steil trappe is waarteen mens moet opklim. Hierdie trappe was nie saans verlig nie en kon ons in die aand net met baie moeite by ons voertuig uitkom. Die nommer van die eienaar was nooit aan ons verstrek nie en kon ons hom nie vra om te help met bv. die TV nie. Daar is niks tekens van afronding met 'n sepie of iets dergliks vir gasvryheid nie. Toe ons inboek was die koffie-, tee-, en suikerhouer feitlik leeg. Ons kon geen WiFi- of internetbankdienste doen nie. Nie beskikbaar. Die plek was eerlik vir ons 'n teleurstellling.

Not bad. Please ask them to change the bed mattress as that bed, all you hear is springs when moving, and it is uncomfortable.

Nice view, quiet neighborhood. The place needs a lot of TLC. Clean but clear signs of neglect. Ceiling story in dining room hanging loose, another previous party's one year balloon floating around on living room ceiling. Refrigerator badly rusted inside. Had a nice stay. Place smells a bit stuffy, but it's a problem to leave windows open with naughty monkeys around. Masango is friendly and helpful.

Mooi uitsig, rustige woonbuurt. Die plek kort baie TLC. Skoon maar duidelike tekens van verwaarlosing. Plafonstorie in eetkamer hang los, nog 'n vorige partytjie se een jaar se ballon dryf rond op sitkamerplafon. Yskas binne erg geroes. Het wel lekker gebly. Plek ruik bietjie bedompig, maar dit is 'n probleem om vensters oop te los met stoute apies in die omtrek. Masango is vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Disappointing. The place was once lovely, but currently there is no maintenance done to the place and it is very neglected. Dirty and very disappointed as the photos are not the real picture at all.

Teleurstellend. Die plek was eens op 'n tyd lieflik gewees, maar tans word daar geen onderhoud aan die plek gedoen nie en dit is bitter verwaarloos. Vuil en bitter teleurgesteld gewees aangesien die foto's glad nie die ware prentjie is nie.

Satisfactory. Nice stay, but place has poor host and is poorly managed.

Bevredigend. Lekker gebly, maar plek het swak gasheer en word swak bestuur.

Disappointed. The venue needs a good cleanup. The fridge is dirty, the aircon is not working, the DSTV is not on as it had not been paid, the fan is dirty, there are broken taps, paint is peeling on the walls, and the braai is broken. There is no WiFi and no backup generator for load shedding. Not in the condition as advertised.
