I love the rooms, cleanliness etc but the Dinner experience really put me off!!
Pros:

I didn't have breakfast, I left early and was put off....

Cons:

The fact that they don't serve dinner on weekends and we had to beg for dinner to be prepared for us and that just didn't make sense to me , we also had to eat what they offered, because apparently we were suppose to book dinner "With who???" I don't know and we are suppose to smell this information on the air miraculously, there was no menu with different options for guests to choose from by the time the got to my room I had lost my appetite



Th rooms are nice but this experience really put me off!....you cant even order uber eats in that area.

Pros:

Location excellent. Room clean, tidy and comfortable.

Cons:

1. Something on the roof is loose (solar panel?) that was knocked by wind gusts the whole night
2. With the price paid, they only put out two servings of coffee/tea, which is definitely not enough.

Pros:

The stay was overall okay and met basic expectations. One thing to note is that if you need cutlery or pans, there is a R200 deposit required, which is refundable , just something to be aware of in advance.
A highlight of our stay was the security guard, who was extremely helpful and friendly, and really made a positive difference to our experience.
Overall, a decent stay with helpful staff.
