Beautiful stay away from city life
Pros:

Beautiful place with lovely surroundings. Everything was exceptional. Enjoyed all amenities including the fishing.The 20km un-tarred road is a bit hectic but lovely scenery around.

Cons:

The un-tarred road to the place is a bit of a drive but not too bad if you have a bakkie/SUV.

It was good overall....lovely family time spent.
Pros:

The views were amazing
Food and cocktails were fantastic
Massages were amazing

Cons:

The drive to the resort.
The gravel road was very unsafe to drive on in the rain.
It was difficult to get bookings for the cruize. Too many people booked for the weekend.
Also games were limited because of the number of people there for the long weekend.
The rifle and bow and arrow......the lady there loses interest after a while, sadly. She should be compassionate in her job.

It was good just make sure you have everything you need as there’s no shops near by and the tuck shop doesn’t carry much
Pros:

The staff was amazing and helpful throughout the weekend.

Cons:

There was a smell as soon as we walked in our unit ,as if something was damp..The bathroom
In the main bedroom toilet was as licking and had an awful smell which made us really uncomfortable.
