Water (Hot) water or lack of it - problems”

Firstly the general Staff and especially the Lady at the Reception were very friendly. However, Whilst preparing to shower at about 19h00, after a 900km journey from upper Natal, there was NO water in the hot water system and we had to call out the receptionist (from home) to help. She tried in vein to coax the water out, but to no avail. We were eventually transferred to another room. Disappointingly the glaring lack of interest by the Owner\Manager or the absence of an apology\comment from them for this inconvenience, it was almost as if it was a regular occurrence to them and did not need any reaction from them, is unacceptable.

Good service and nice rooms. The environment is in a nice area with the beach close to the guesthouse. We stayed too short time to have a dinner but the breakfast was good and the eating area nice.

We had to paid R100 extra for called out fees, fees applicable after 10pm check-in the room was less about 100m from the place to collect the key. Notifying before hand that we will be check- in 15 min before or after 10pm due to flight delay.The only serves that was outstanding was the tidy setup in the breakfast area as well as the breakfast.

False advertising, this is a 1 star establishment”

Owner was hospitable

The facility was old & in need of upkeep, the entrance to the driveway was waterlogged, our room door was wet & rotting away. The main lodge (reception)was nice but where we lived was a short distance away & rated 1 star on the wall, not 3 star, this is very deceptive as I would not have booked it. The unit is behind the N2 highway & noisy at night, we couldn't rest although on holiday. The people were noisy at night & there seemed to be maintenance taking place at night. Very disappointed & feel your advertising is deceptive, last booking.
