Home away from home.
Pros:

Spacious with a separate bedroom. Provisions supplied were generous. Very peaceful, relaxing environment.

Cons:

The rangehood exhaust opened into the room instead of going out through the roof. Therefore, due to lack of correct installation is not useable.

Pros:

Wow ❤️ what a beautifully appointed Apartment. It was gated, for security. Very strict rules, but wise. Huge pool and facilities. Very tastefully decorated, spacious all the facilities you need. Full size kitchen, lounge dining for 2. 2nd toilet in the laundry, heaps of hanging space and non secured coat hangers ( I hate those locked on ones!!) Drawers, bedsides a lovely big bed!! Bathroom was very large, 2 types of shower roses 🚿. Good quality products. Bath robes, and towels. A lovely deck to sit on. In comfy cane saucer chairs. There was a golf hitting range, full gym and the pool. Our host Vanessa scooted around in her gopha, introducing herself, escorting us to the Apartment and explaining the workings. We were given a large continental breakfast of our choice in a basket.

Cons:

No pod machine that would have been the cherry on top. There was a plunger coffee ☕️ No Restaurant on site ( one is in the pipeline to come) we had to drive 3kms to town for dinner. Not really a criticism, but would have been 120% if these things were available.
