Wonderful room, sweet house and garden. Sweet little pool. Very spacious room. Safe location and area. Great support with the laundry The GM and Meriam were very friendly and helpful. Also the rest of the staff

The beds need new mattresses. It would be great if the cleaning lady took a bit more care hair (long blond, which none of us is). There was quite some in the bathroom unfortunately. The pool didn’t seem clean so I didn’t go in

It is a good location for walking around.

You can hear everything from the rooms above you if you sleep downstairs. The swimming pool could have been cleaner and if you do provide a braai facility, please make sure that there is efficient light.
