    To change the bedding in the dormitory, please

    The location is not ideal, but you'll need to have your car, and you'll enjoy it.

    Just minor gripes. wifi was weak and spotty at times at the dorm room i was at. Not a problem in the common areas though. Also there are only a few electrical sockets in the dorm room. Wasn’t a problem when i was there, but it could be a problem if the dorm is full.

    Loved this place! Felt so cozy and homey. Lots of open spaces and common areas, there’s also a pool where guests can cool off. Kitchen facilities were right at the dorm room which was so convenient. There’s a stove, microwave, and fridge that guests could use. The location is great too. Sure, it’s not at the town center but it’s in a safe, quiet residential area. If you need food, there’s a SPAR just 20 minutes away on foot, as well as a couple of restaurants. The staff could help you order food for delivery too. If you need to go to the town center, it’s easy to book a cab from here. It’s easy to book tours. Dave helped me book the perfect tour and found people I could join to cut down expenses cause i was traveling solo. The staff were great! They were all friendly and helpful. Dave and Bella were the perfect hosts, made me feel right at home! Wish i could have stayed longer!

    The noise at night made me annoyed…as well the expensive airport transfers back and forth was ridiculous pricing and the power kept going off it was insane

    The Staff was awesome and attentive and the guide that became my “uncle” his tours were great very knowledgeable I especially liked Swaziland … the animals around everywhere were a big plus! I love animals

    It needs to be advertised in the website clearly that breakfast is not included in the price you pay to stay there. I don't think it should be advertised as a B&B if breakfast is not included in the price. And because I had not budgeted to spend extra on meals I did not have any meals at the Inn.

    Pool and rooms were always clean. Gate service was great.

    I liked everything.

    My experience was amazing! A friend recommended me Old Vic and I couldn’t have had a best place to start my vacation! They helped me even before I arrive and I could plan the transfer from de airport and the tours with peacefully. Their property is beautiful! The room was excellent, very comfortable and made me feel at home. I could wake up hearing the birds. I booked the tours with Dave and had the best experiences. He is fun, very friendly and experienced guide. Definitely I will recommend for everybody to stay here with Bella and Dave!
