A pleasant and good-value stay with friendly staff, though the bedding & bathroom could be improvede
Pros:

The accommodation offers great value for money. Its location is convenient—close to the hiking area we were visiting and near a small shopping center, which is quite rare in such areas. The rooms were very spacious and clean, and the staff were consistently helpful and friendly throughout our stay.

Cons:

The place could improve by updating its bed and bedding. If replacing the bed isn’t possible, at least consider replacing the bedding, as it feels worn and has an aged smell. The shower area also lacks a soap holder, which makes it inconvenient and unhygienic to place toiletries on the floor while showering. Additionally, there’s no cabinet or shelf in the bathroom to store toiletries, which would be essential for guests staying more than one night.

Great place for a stop over
Pros:

The host Lerato was wonderful.She knows what hospitality means.Their whatsApp is very efficient. They respond to messages quick.

Cons:

We booked two separate rooms .
In my room the bedding didnt look clean, the white was no longer white,there were patches of stains here and there and it did not smell good at all.

My friend mentioned that the bed in his room was really uncomfortable and sank in when he got into bed to sleep.He had a terrible night. The bedding in his room didn't look clean and had stain patches too.

It could be that the sheets are old and have lost their whiteness but then something has to be done about that.

The shower in my room didn't have soap holders .You may need to bring your own soap holder and your own towel if you are picky/specific with your towels.
