    Facility needs some TLC especially the pool it was dirty when we saw it. And the yard needs some attention.

    The area was close to almost everything.

    There's no back up for power outages. The place needs to be properly cleaned. There were spiders in the room and the kitchen doesn't have dish washing detergents.

    There was no breakfast served. The reception by staff members was great.

    1. The room I booked, the aircon did not work but luckily the staff could arranged another room for me 2. Having other guests is not a problem, but guests who have visitors at 2am midnight is extrememly inconsiderate and a problem. Hooting multiple times and interrupting others while sleeping. They could have phoned their "Friend" to meet them instead of making such noise 3. With unexpected visitors from booked guests, poses a security risks as i did not feel safe with what happened. 4. House has alot of bugs 5. Driving at night back to the house, would a great touch to add some street lights as it is pitch black dark as you cannot see anything other than relying on your vehicles headlights.

    Overall location is good and very central to everything. Close to malls, hartbeespoort activities and plenty restaurants nearby to choose from.

    There was only one coffee mug and one tea cup. Would have appreciated two coffee mugs. Only powdered milk was provided, long life milk pods would have been better. Only three coffee sachets but a lot of tea. Not tea drinkers. So we couldn't have coffee before bed and the next morning before our run. Had to buy coffee and milk. The sugar was clumpy as if it got wet inside the sachet packaging. The fan didn't work.

    We had a beautiful view of the dam. Room and bathroom was spacious and comfortable.

    No backup electricity during loadshedding. No signage (staff indicated that this is coming soon). Obviously for security reasons but our room had a balcony that could not be accessed - disappointing as we wanted to have our coffee out on the balcony. Mattress was hard which I loved but my mom didn't.

    Location is great on the first road right by the dam, room and bathroom was exceptionally clean, staff were friendly and helpful and open to suggestions for improvement. Value was great especially being one of the few places that allows 1 night stay.

    There was a horrible smell from the bathroom, might have been the pipes. There was no electricity and they did not care, had to go up and down to ask for help with the garage door to be opened manually. the beds were very uncomfortable and it was cold only a 1 ply blanket was provided with no heater.

    besides the smell from the bathroom, The room was clean and staff were friendly

    Nothing please do yourself a fovour and visit the place it is a dump. Only outside photos not interested in the place If the outside look the way we saw I don't even want to see what the inside look like. Think bookings must visit the place Scary what you suggest and what to see in real life

    We booked but when we arrived just to hear that we did not booked. Unfortunately we had to run around getting overnight accommodations. Really think it a money making scam on both sides

    Dirty, spiders and insects everywhere, mould on the ceilings, bathroom in desperate need of attention. The checking in system is shocking. We tried to go to sleep at 9 as I had the 50km race today and we had someone screaming outside trying to get the attention of the person to allow them in. There were stains on the linen and curtains. No positives at all. I feel that at R1400 for the room I should be reimbursed. Absolute thievery. Gross!!!!

    We were told the pool was working 2 days before our travel date, only to get there and find the pool green🤢 used the week’s rain as an excuse but that pool didn’t look to have been operational for a long time! The apartments looked old and dilapidated on the outside, the rooms were stuffy and smelled mouldy. Reception wasnt good at all, GPS took us to the back and we waited for about 20mins to be let in. And the guy who opened works for a different place which is in the same complex, so there’s no one to care for the yatch house guests. The door lock seemed to have been picked, we didn’t feel safe as a group of just girls. The owner refused to refund saying we should wait for booking.com to refund instead which is inconsiderate coz we dont have that kind of money lying around. Also, due to the water situation in Harties, the smell is so bad especially by waterfront apartments, woke up with a splitting headache coz the dam gives off a sewage smell.

    The location was the only good thing about the place

    False advertising, gave us the incorrect rooms, the room we got booked into had mice droppings on the couch, the kitchen handles were sticky, upon arrival no one was at the premises to book us in.

    The view, location and the friendly staff.
