    -The room had ants. -Poor lighting... in fact the only working light was in the bathroom -No bedside table and lamp -No cold water from the basin -Nothing to hang wash towels.

    The bed was very comfortable.

    Everything

    The guest house was not pleasing at all . We checked in & the staff was sleeping on duty . It looked like some shelter for people. There was no security at the gate. We had to get in ourselves and look for people around

    The Front of house receival The abbundance in loose standing people around the veranda as we checked in by a wooden table on a patio. The lack of interest from the residing staff. There was one gentleman that was over and above trying to help us. At least. No towels.they said it was wet. And that was the end of it. No trying to help make a plan. I had to drip dry after shower as I was very sweaty and dirty. Afterwards took the scrunched up blanket in the cupboard to dry the floor. Toilet holder broken. Half a Roll standing loose on the cistern. No towels as mentioned earlier Towel rail, for no dutyful reason i suppose is also broken off. Mirror cracked in 3 pieces right through Bathroom door (rolling barn door) you cant open or close. Shower floor is so unwashed and old soap qwam from all other guest stain the grouting slimy white. No hangers in cupboard Used plastic spoon from previous occupants i presume under the walkway carpet. I accidently felt a lump under foot when i was walking barefoot. No additional 2 point plugs for chargers. The staff were drinking and having a braai upon our arrival 20:00 ish. No problem with that as it is suppisedly after hours and ours a late booking. But...... They had such a jol. When we returned atbout 23:00 from our function, they had a good party with loud music and making live reels with social media followers. As you can hear as they welcome more subscribers to their live show every now and then. It did not bother us so much. But the bad response i received when i went and asked for the towels. There was the smoking of maruana and drinking if ciders. Bookings.com I want a full refund of my R570. This is unacceptable. We were in need only for a place to rest our head for 5hours as we left at 04:30 again. They say you get what you pay for, hence me not too worried about my decision. However. I expect the mere tools or equipment to make the unit functional to work. I have photos that I took.

    That we could get a room below R600 as we were just looking for a descent location to sleep over as we were visiting a special party and did not want to drive back Pilgrims rest.

    Exceptionally bad, room was dirty an old sock and empty water bottle under the bed, freezer compartment filled with old rusty frozen water, spider webs in cupboard, shelves broken. No shower door so the bathroom floods when you shower. Staff sits and smoke on steps. No security at all the gate motor doesn't work so you have to open and close gate manually yourself even at night. Room door falling apart you have to lock it to keep it closed. Had to buy our own toilet paper the roll we got had about 15 blocks on it. The only tiny towel provided was dirty as hell. Reception dirty as hell with old electrical wiring all over the place right next to what seems to be staff quarters with 6 beds crammed into a little room. The list goes on and on. Seriously nasty and dirty.

    Nothing good about the venue

    The place is extremely noisy, there were a bunch of guys who seem to live on the property, they were drinking and playing loud music the whole night. I could hear their loud conversations from my room and it was difficult to fall asleep. At around midnight I finally summed up the courage to go tell them to keep it down, I had to go to work the following day and I woke up exhausted due to lack of sleep. Very inconsiderate. I booked the room with the balcony but was given a different smaller room for some reason. I also had to wait for a while at the gate because I kept calling the numbers on the gate but they were not going through. I wouldn’t recommend.

    Good location

    Kitchen needs some attention and also proper checking of the rooms after people have checked out, to ensure no used packages left behind.

    Location and rooms were good.
