The Bubble Valley Piet Retief

It rained a lot, but that didn’t stop it being an awesome stay; the bed was so comfy, the food was good, and overall it was brilliant.

The food and service were good, but I liked my stay despite a few issues: the blankets were burnt and stained, the table was very small, the coffee cup leaked, and there were no basic amenities like a kettle, microwave, or fridge, so I wouldn’t recommend staying more than one night; the jacuzzi wasn’t hot, which took away from the experience.

Everything was great, especially the jacuzzi.

“Une belle expérience mais il y a des travaux à faire”

Seeing the starry sky, made possible by the complete lack of light pollution, was a magical moment; the outdoor meal in that isolated, privileged setting reinforced that unique sense of disconnection, and the warm welcome and quality service were also up to par, making the experience even more memorable. Unfortunately, the experience was heavily marred by several problems: it was far too cold for the season—this accommodation really shouldn’t be offered in winter—air at 4 °C blew into the bubble, the heating didn’t work, and the toilet tap was broken; add to that an extremely noisy ventilation system that was hard to tolerate without earplugs, and it’s a shame because the concept is original, but in these conditions the comfort isn’t there.

“Schade, es wäre ein so schöner Ort! Mit ein bisschen mehr Unterhalt wäre es eine echte Perle.”

The location, beautiful view, and quiet were great, and the staff were very friendly. The place was poorly maintained, with many things broken; the whirlpool was extremely dirty and didn’t work, the food was cold and barely edible, and there was a power and water outage.
