8/10 Good
"Felt secure, beautiful garden. Rooms were clean. Every one very friendly. Linen and towels very clean. Although I thought linen and towels needs to be refreshed. Little bit old. The bathroom/shower are spacious. Shower was clean except for some mold that needs to be scrubbed and the shower caddy needs a clean. A good quality bathroom mat would be nice and a small fan or extraction fan could help to keep floor less slippery. The microwave works great and was clean. I thought the cutlery needs an update. There is a very nice light/ceilingfan, works well. Housekeeping staff very friendly. Overall a great stay. Wifi was good. TV few channels was nice. Very Cosy with a picnic table in front of each unit Few braai stands (Could be nice to update them) "
