GOOD Based on 158 reviews Kakhuis2024-10-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very enjoyable stay in a self catering chalet. They are semi-detached but you don't hear the people next door or feel like they are right next door to you. The staff are very friendly and professional. There are plenty of animals to see and hear. Almost every morning of my stay there was a fish eagle call. You can just sit and look out towards the dam and see the wildlife come past. There is fast wifi and the aircon worked well. There is a fridge, microwave, kettle and stove along with 2 pots and one pan. There is a braai facility for each unit just outside the door and braai tongs inside the unit. I would ask that if you do go here that you do not leave your vehicle parked in front of the gate preventing other people from being able to move in and out. There is ample parking just to the right of the entrance and is well demarcated. Carol Snyman2024-09-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
