"Highlight? Only the view"

"The view of the place is great .The issues i had is the fact that on the internet they don't disclose that its a commune type of set-up.The kitchen didt not have utensils to use.pots,plates glassess etc.It felt and lookec like they where not expecting us because the place was dirty.Their rule of NOT cleaning the rooms daily but only after we leave because of COVID is nonsense ."
"Disappointed"

12 August 2019

"The rooms are lovely, clean and comfitable. However, I was very disappointed that R1000 can be charged without breakfast. When we checked in we asked for breakfast and was told there are no ingredients to make breakfast. The website says check-in is at 13h00, however when we arrived we were told to come back at 14h00 because the rooms are not ready. In addition, for the money that we pay you would expect to find shower gel and soap in your room. I might have to try another lodge when back in December."
