“Not worth it unfortunately. The lodge is fine. The house is not.”
The fireplace and its surroundings were nice. The lodge itself was fine, but we stayed in the main house, which felt incomplete. The kitchen sink didn’t work, so we had to walk down a long passage each time we needed to fill a kettle or wash our hands while cooking. The microwave worked once, on the first afternoon, when I warmed my toddler’s meal. The stove worked, but the oven didn’t. The fridge was turned off every afternoon to allow the geysers to warm, and it wasn’t turned back on, causing our meat to spoil. The main bedroom had two basins, but one was missing the piping under the counter. The toilet had no door handle, and there was no hot water on the first night. The place was spot‑cleaned, but the bed was filthy. We had booked three nights but left after the second night because the facilities were simply uncomfortable. There was no Wi‑Fi (only available in the lodge). Breakfast was supposed to be included but wasn’t provided; we were told it would cost R160 per adult per day. We’re still trying to get a refund for the value of the three days.
