It was ok but the male owner became the centre of our conversations. The place is nicely located. The female owner is very friendly with a good attitude; however, the male owner has a very bad attitude. He is very arrogant, rude, etc. When we arrived, he just approached us at the parking, staring at us, without greeting us, and we even thought he was a guest just watching. The following day during breakfast, my partner asked him to rinse a glass for her and he started asking if it was dirty and why it must be rinsed. On Sunday, we borrowed an iron and he said no, they don't have because they are an eco-lodge. He is definitely in the wrong business of hosting people.

Great place. The 360-degree view from the deck. Comfortable accommodation. Nice breakfast and an especially great shower.

Basic, but adequate for the price. I guess that this establishment was once a bit more well-kept based on the pictures. Things seem a bit dated. It's nothing special, but fine for a quick one-night stay-over. The bar and restaurant that is advertised seem more like an "oh ok, if you really want to make use of it I guess we can accommodate you" kind of setup. I would have liked to try one of their imported beers, but the bar was abandoned with minimal stock and mostly empty fridges, with no indication of how to get service. I could have gone to ask the owner, but they were busy having a "braai" with their friends/family and I did not want to disturb them walking in on their gathering. The breakfast we had included with our stay was "fine", but not of a high standard by any means. A buffet was provided, which consisted of a kitchen plate with a few fruits and small cups of yoghurt placed on it. We could order a "free" omelet or egg breakfast with the "modest" buffet (as it is advertised). We ate, it tasted good, we thanked them and we left. The owners were never directly unprofessional, but my wife and I both got the idea that they were just "riding it out", and if there was once a bit of passion involved in the project, it seems to be missing in action at this point in time. Statements provided on informational booklets, that read: "Don't complain about "xxx", this is Africa after all", speak for itself as to their attitude towards having a go at being the best they can be. Africa has its problems, but business owners using this to "warrant" offering a lower class of service, instead of rising to the occasion and working around the problem, is not contributing anything constructive. No, I don't think I'll ever visit here again.

Nice place, pool great. Very nice place, needs a bit stronger light on bedside tables and maybe a small fridge in the room. Pool and breakfast were great.

Lekker plek, swembad puik. Baie lekker plek, kort bietjie sterker lig op bedkassies en miskien 'n yskassie in die kamer. Swembad en ontbyt was puik.

Comfortable and peaceful getaway with a beautiful view. Beautifully located on the mountain, panoramic views, secure parking, customer friendly service. We would love to come back!

Gerieflike en rustige wegbreekplek met pragtige uitsig. Pragtig geleë teen die berg, panoramiese uitsigte, veilige parkering, kliëntevriendelike diens. Ons sal graag terugkom!

Nice, but not great! Reasons I wouldn't recommend: There are quite a few stairs to the rooms and we weren't aware of that. Important to indicate this on the website, especially if you have a lot of heavy luggage. Owner did help upon arrival. Although rooms are spacious, tidy, well-equipped and tasteful, there is no privacy as all rooms open onto corridors to pool, bar and rooftop. With only sliding doors, it was impractical to enjoy fresh air in the heat without giving up privacy.

Lekker, maar nie wonderlik nie! Redes waarom ek dit nie sou aanbeveel nie: Daar is heelwat trappe na die kamers en ons was nie bewus daarvan nie. Belangrik om dit op webtuiste aan te dui, veral as mens baie en swaar bagasie het. Eienaar het met aankoms wel gehelp. Alhoewel kamers ruim, netjies, goed toegerus en smaakvol is, is daar geen privaatheid nie, aangesien al die kamers uitloop op gang na swembad, kroeg en dak. Met slegs skuifdeure was dit onprakties om in die hitte vars lug te geniet sonder om privaatheid prys te gee.

Real value for money. Good place to stay. Breakfast was good especially the farm omelette. Just wish there was a common fridge and a microwave.

The service and stay was pleasant. The location and area is ideal for tourists. The only negative would be that the bathroom doesn't have a door and the howling wind due to the location can be quite disturbing, but it is part of nature and out of the owners' control. Very friendly hosts who welcomed us warmly.

Die diens en verblyf was aangenaam. Die ligging en omgewing is ideaal vir toeriste. Die enigste negatief is die badkamer sonder 'n deur en die huilende wind a.g.v die ligging wat nogal steurend was, maar dit is deel van die natuur en buite eienaars se beheer. Baie vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou en ontvangs was verwelkomend.
