The stay was just ok
Pros:

The place is spacious, with modern finishes and furniture. The hosts are good people.
They offer nice breakfast at R150, provided you book it in advance.They have braai facilities and we had our braai. Nice place in overall.

Cons:

A lot of things,
The fact that we had to clean for ourselves. I feel like when we are on holiday,we are there to rest and not clean. They don't provide domestos for toilets, and you only get small sunlight liquid,no tile Cleaner. You only get a broom and a mop. We had to ask for a bucket, but they don't provide tile Cleaner or cleaning staff to clean the toilet and bathtub.We can't clean the shower and the bathtub with a mop.

The bathrooms don't have windows, and there is no ventilation or moisture or smell control. The 2 bedroom basin is too small, and one spills water everywhere when you brush your teeth. I struggled to wash my face in that basin.
They don't put tissues everyday, you have to ask for it when it's finished. They don't give clean towels or changed linen,if you want new ones, you have to wash them or pay to get clean ones. For me, it was a turn off.So for 4 nights our beddings were not changed. And I think the beddings are too heavy for summer weather. The duvet are way too heavy but of good quality, I must say.

The pillows are too big and hard, and my husband and I woke up with painful necks every day. I suggest they put both soft and hard pillows to accommodate everyone.

And the high steep parking is a nightmare. When you drive a small manual car,a clutch will definitely get burned. The steep is too high. But at least they do provide parking for free.
We paid R1500 for both units for breakage fee, which is R750, but it gets refunded when nothing is broken or damaged, and this I understand.

I wouldn't mind going back only if the cleaning services will be available it's better to include it in the rates rather than paying it separately.
