Nice views from the campground. Good and affordable camping. Only concern is it seems you can now no longer do trail runs on the other side of the fence.

We had a very restful 4 days. Stay was fantastic. The only thing I found challenging is that the staff at the bar were not always around and we had to wait for a long time for them to come or go and find them. There was also no ice on sale on site. Food was superb.

Needs proper management. Needs proper management; a few things were not communicated properly. No cool drink stock.

Lovely, peaceful and relaxing. We really had a great stay, safe and quiet. A few things that may need attention: 1. Refrigerator in communal kitchen closest to our room does not work at all. 2. Chest freezer's hinge on the lid is broken, and guests do not close it properly. As a result, the freezer does not seal tightly. 3. Jacuzzi's gas was out and we could not use it.

Heerlik, rustig en ontspannend. Ons het regtig baie lekker gebly, veilig en rustig. Enkele dingetjies wat dalk aandag nodig het: 1. Yskas in gemeenskaplike kombuis naaste aan ons kamer werk glad nie. 2. Kisvrieskas se skarnier van die deksel is stukkend, en gaste maak dit nie mooi toe nie. Gevolglik seël die vrieskas nie dig nie. 3. Jacuzzi se gas was gedaan en ons kon dit nie gebruik nie.

Excellent weekend with beautiful views and good company and good service. We really enjoyed it, the view is excellent, facilities were comfortable and completely adequate for our group. The staff sorted out problems quickly, we really had a great time. Loved the setup. Would definitely recommend.

Uitstekende naweek met pragtige uitsig en goeie geselskap en goeie diens. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet, die uitsig is uitstekend, fasiliteite was gerieflik en heeltemal voldoende vir ons groep. Die personeel het probleme vinnig uitgesorteer, ons het regtig heerlik gekuier. Hou baie van die setup. Sal dit vir seker aanbeveel.

Pleasant stay! While a little more basic than the photographs suggest, it was a good stay. Unfortunately, the food menu was no longer applicable.

Convenient for halfway on the way to the south coast. When we arrived, there was no one at reception; we had to walk around and look for someone. The lady who helped us was very friendly, and I now understand why she wasn't there, because she's involved everywhere. The room we had to stay in was very poor. It had three bunk beds (sleeps 6), there was no fridge, but two fans. The two beds against the wall were wet and dirty, and the floor was wet — I assume the roof was leaking. The unit was not the unit we had booked at all; we had booked the group room (sleeps 8), even though we were only five people. When we reported this to reception, they said that this was passed on to them by the website, and the room we had actually booked would cost extra. I insisted that we weren't going to sleep in that room and that we were looking for the room we had paid for. The lady then offered us two deluxe rooms at no extra cost. The deluxe rooms are neat and have the necessary accessories. The shower in one room did not have hot water, so we all used the one shower. The 6-bed dormitory that was given to us in the first place is not even on the website page. In general, the place is neglected and needs a lot of attention. The decor is very cute and interesting. We did use the swimming pool, bar and table tennis.

Gerieflik vir halfpad op pad suidkus toe. Met ons aankoms was daar niemand by ontvangs nie; ons moes eers loop en soek na iemand. Die dame wat ons toe gehelp het, is baie vriendelik, en ek verstaan nou hoekom sy nie daar was nie, want sy is orals betrokke. Die kamer waarin ons moes bly, was baie swak. Dit het drie bunkbeddens (6 slaapplekke) gehad, daar was geen yskas nie, wel twee waaiers. Die twee beddens teen die muur was nat en vuil, en die vloer was nat — ek neem aan die dak lek. Die eenheid was glad nie die eenheid wat ons bespreek het nie; ons het die groepkamer (slaapplek vir 8) bespreek, alhoewel ons slegs vyf mense was. Toe ons dit rapporteer by ontvangs, is daar gesê dit is so deurgegee aan hulle deur die webtuiste, en die kamer wat ons eintlik bespreek het, kos dan ekstra. Ek het aangehou dat ons nie in daardie kamer gaan slaap nie en dat ons die kamer soek waarvoor ons betaal het. Die dame het toe vir ons twee deluxe kamers aangebied teen geen ekstra koste nie. Die deluxe kamers is netjies en het die nodige bykomstighede. Die een kamer se stort het wel nie warm water gehad nie, dus het ons almal van die een stort gebruik gemaak. Die 6-bed-slaapplek wat vir ons gegee is in die eerste plek, is nie eers op die webtuiste se bladsy nie. Oor die algemeen is die plek verwaarloos en kort baie aandag. Die dekor is baie oulik en interessant. Ons het wel van die swembad, bar en afeltennistafel gebruik gemaak.

Disappointing. Slow, uninterested, no hot water, no service. Tours poorly planned as only one guide and this time without a car.

Quiet environment. Accommodation was acceptable. Unfortunately, it was not wheelchair or low mobility accessible at all.

Rustige omgewing. Blyplek was aanvaarbaar. Net ongelukkig glad nie rolstoel of lae mobiliteit toeganklik nie.
