    The service was great and our room was very cute. We really enjoyed the included breakfast as well. The place was very close to our places of interest so that was a huge stress reliever. Would definitely recommend. And we are definitely going to be coming back soon.

    It would be nice to have a towel rail and facecloth hooks in the bathroom.

    Breakfast was amazing because it was wholesome and was more than enough. We had a different menu every morning, which was super. The bath was super great because it was so nice and big.

    Aircon would be an improvement, washbasin was too high for me (at 5ft 3) to wash my face! A bracket for the shower head over the corner bath would have been welcome. No coathangers in the wardrobe.

    Good location, easy to find, excellent welcome, friendly staff, comfortable bed and pillows, kitchen had fridge/freezer, microwave and kettle. Ensuite bathroom, Netflix on tv, fan. Breakfast good, full English, tea, coffee, fruit juice. Private parking, electric gate. Nice quiet street, plenty of shops nearby. Good value for money for us from the uk.

    We were very well received by our hostess Khutso who showed us our room and the amenities available to us. Although much load shedding was experienced, suitable "solar / rechargeable" lighting in and around the accommodation was available. A very hearty breakfast (whilst there was loadshedding) was served to us the following morning. THANK YOU Khutso and your very friendly kitchen lady for going the extra mile even with no electricity. Accommodation was very neat and clean (and as shown in the photos at the time of booking). Definitely a very nice visit.

    The place was still under ocnstruction but the host ensured that we are as comfortable as possible. Considering that it was opened for only 3 months when we visitied, they did quite well.

    The location is perfect if you plan to visit the Forever Resort. It is 10-15 minutes walk from the resort and some parts of the town where you have access to banks, groceries shops and other necessities. Breakfast was excellent and it catered for those who do not consume pork.

    The fact that the gate stayed open till 10pm which made us a bit uncomfortable. Breakfast is served restaurant style with limited options. More options and buffet style would be better.

    The staff was very friendly, made us feel welcome from the start. They made every effort to make our stay more comfortable. The room was clean and the bed and couch were very comfortable. Smart TV was great. Breakfast was delicious.
