It was fair.
Pros:

Everything is fine but I wanted a self catering unit. We had no towel rails which should be there no matter what.

Cons:

Will not stay there again. It's really getting past its best days and needs a major overhaul.
Pros:

Breakfast good and service good

Cons:

The room I booked for R900 /night is dingy and dark and certainly not acceptable.. I therefore asked for an upgrade and moved onto a cottage. At R300 extra per night the chalet was fine.

Pros:

Für eine Nacht war es eine gute Unterkunft. Alles war sauber aber schon ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen.
