    Absolutely nothing!

    Oh my word I loved everything about this place. The staff is amazing! My booking was last minute but Alina made everything so smooth sailing. It's obviously cold as it's winter time but this place had everything to make us warm. I mean from electric blanket to a bathroom heater. That is the best thing I loved about this place. I'm so impressed that they put their customer's needs a priority. We couldn't have breakfast as we had to leave extra early but they made us this cute breakfast pack on the go 😊...thank you so much for the thoughtful gesture. Most places would not even care that you can't make it for breakfast! Safety is always my concern but I had nothing to worry about here. The unit was beautiful and clean. The view is so beautiful and peaceful. This place is definitely now my go-to accommodation when I need to be around there.

    This is personal preference. I like sleeping in a dark room. The room had an opening in the ceiling with a window. It was bright as soon as the sun comes up. No way to cover the opening. But that is personal preference.

    Everything was nice. Host was welcoming. Breakfast was lovely. View on the patio to the golf course whilst having breakfast was nice. Lots of birds and lush green lawns.

    The swimming pool is merely a plunge pool.

    Outstanding service. We were escorted everywhere , recommended & driven to great restaurants & even cooked for. Our hostess could not have done more to please & to make our stay enjoyable. Her assistant was utterly charming & helpful.

    Great, tasty and appealing breakfast. Attention to detail by the staff, personal touch and genuine interest in their guest's comfortable stay. It is a home away from home. We have booked for our next trip in May. Only suggestion is to have more comfy pillows to sleep on. Management and staff are fantastic..

    Just a suggestion : some ice cubes in the freezer would be great.

    Everybody was very friendly and accommodating! Service was 5star! Will never go to any other hotel/guesthouse when I'm in that area again. Annatjie and I had such a nice conversation and shared beautiful memories of our lost loved ones. Thank you for making my heartbroken time more bearable.

    Beautiful buildingstyle in a gated community (so when I arrived with my car I thought I took a wrong turn). The neighbourhood has beautiful gardens so nice for a morning stroll. Rooms are clean, comfortable beds and a great breakfast served by very kind people.

    Nothing to report

    Everything - The staff were friendly, helpful and they put an incredible amount of effort into the breakfast. The shower is nice and big and the "shower head" sprays a strong stream of water - I have slept at many B&B's where the shower head sprays in 7 different directions with everything wet except YOU... A plus was the environment is quiet and peaceful.

    The only problem I had - there is a hairdryer in the room but no adaptor to use it. The staff quickly helped with it though.

    The location is very good, close to large shopping malls, movie theaters and hospitals. It is in a secure estate which make it safe. Next to the golf course and beautiful gardens
