    In future they mustn't include breakfast because there's no staff, there's nothing interesting.

    The road from the main road to the place is a mess, again the guy was working alone there so we had to wait hour for a breakfast ...our beds were not made n rooms not cleaned after our first night because there's no one to change sheets. The guy was alone. So the money didn't worth that kind of service. There was no tea or coffee suchets for us in the rooms...we never drank any tea , the breakfast was not fresh.

    The only thing I liked was the guy by the name of Joseph who is a receptionist, cleaner, chef n everything because he's handling the place alone. He tried his best

    The breakfast does not comply with the price. Having one staff member doing everything and that the rooms are not cleaned while you are there. The room are only cleaned before and after you left, not during your stay

    It is beautiful and easy to find. Nice location and the fact that they allowed us to stay although we booked a different location. They did not give us hard time although booking was mixed up because of late confirmation from booking.com

    The couch was uncomfortable and there was no general dustbin in the house. And importantly there was no bathroom door which is right next to the lounge which is very awkward even if you be couples.

    The environment and atmosphere of the guesthouse

    The breakfast was not at all nice, there wasn't any variety and we were not asked what we were allergic of. The breakfast was a total killer mood. E didn't have side tables or pedestals in the bedroom, we didn't know where to put our stuff

    The guy who attended us was very nice

    Bath room could do with a makeover.

    The breakfast was perfect sustenance to start the day. Location is ideal for the truly rural African experience. Never felt safer like we did. Amazed at the safety at the lodge and in Thohoyandou. Our host Joseph was always at hand and is truly a remarkable man. It was a unique and safe cultural experience in Venda from affordable and comfortable accomodation.

    Breakfast- I'd suggest that you rather exclude Breakfast or try to improve the standard. Perhaps look at other places that serve Breakfast and compare.

    The place is clean and spacious and the staff was great.

    The place is very hard to find, google maps could not assist. we had to ask around. We had to leave early, we therefore requested takeaways, we were disappointed with what was packed, 2 slice of bread, omelette and one vianna. The kitchen did not have plates, cups/ mugs, kitchen towels.

    Friendly staff, clean and nicely decorated place.

    There was only a bathtub (that seemed very old) option for bathing. The breakfast really needs improvement.

    The room was so specious and comfortable
