What a lovely place to stay...peaceful and serene, with stunning lookout points. The cottage was beautiful and well furnished..in fact the pictures don't do justice. The owner Mr Schwartz was extremely pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay here again :)

Wonderful location in the hills with mountain views. Excellent parkland grounds, away from the crowds. Lovely to have the pool and tennis court facility.

Doreen, Canada

The apartment is the middle one in a building of three apartments. The building is on a big nice private property where you can even go for a short half an hour to one hour walk.

“Great area but not again in winter!”

• Leisure trip
• Couple
• Double Room
• Stayed 3 nights
• Submitted from a mobile device

눉Never saw/talked anybody from management nor any servants. It was cold and the room was in shade but no electric blankets. No aircon/heater in the room. There was some sort of appliance that could have been a heater but not known to us and also no instructions how to operate whatever that may be.

눇The area was great. Silence with no noise.

눉Property lighting - or lack of it. lack of Internet - although this wasn't a big deal considering you could always use your phone or a dongle.

눇Beautiful grounds. Immaculate lawns and very cozy chalet. The management was prompt in tackling our minor complaint of a blocked drain. The beds were super comfortable.

“Fabulous but tired accommodation and views and unfriendly manager”

• Leisure trip
• Family with older children
• Chalet
• Stayed 15 nights

눉The Manager was shockingly disorganised, unfriendly and unhelpful. Don't come expecting any kind of help or information from them. When we arrived there was no way of getting past the gate of the property and if someone had not come along about half an hour later we would have sat there forever unable to contact anyone and not able to get in. When the manager was asked about it she said, "didn't you get my email with the instructions?" I never received an email and this is the second time I have stayed here and had the same problem. The door didn't lock and we had to bar it from the inside with a door jam and then go out through the bathroom. When we spoke to the manager she seemed to think that it was our problem that the door didn't lock and said that it needed a special trick to get it to work. No burglar bars on the windows. A must in South Africa! Cleaning staff failed to turn up one day and not apology offered from Manager. The place is tired - it must have been amazing in it's hayday but it is getting old. We could see that someone had at one time put a lot of thought into the place but it was badly managed. Like a two pool towels for a chalet housing four! They provide no toiletries and toilet paper kept running out. One would expect even a little soap for accommodation of this price.

눇The location. The privacy. The chalets are well spaced apart so you really feel like you are on your own. The view is totally spectacular. The stars are so close you feel like you can reach out and touch them. Unlimited wood for the barbecue facilities and a friendly man who comes around each morning to clean it out and restock the wood. Lots of space for the boys to play cricket and run around. Walks, pool. Tennis court with rackets and balls. Comfortable beds and nice bathroom. Friendly dogs to hang out with you morning and evening.
