“All the staff left and we arrived to an abandoned hotel”
Beautiful location. Nice rooms. We were told that due to immigration protests, all of the hotel staff had left. However, driving from Cape Town, we saw no police activity and our driver said everything was fine. When we arrived that night in our Uber, we were met by a neighbor, who had a key to the hotel. We were told that the owner was in Germany. The hotel was abandoned—no staff and we were the only guests. Because we had no car and were in the middle of the countryside with no food, the neighbor generously offered to drive us to buy pizza so that our families could eat. There was no water in the rooms, only alcohol. We found water in an adjacent room refrigerator. We’d been camping in the bush for 9 days, so were desperate for showers. The bathrooms had no shampoo. After the 2nd person in our group of 8 took a shower, the hot water went out. When we woke up at 6am the next morning, there was still no hot water. With no hotel restaurant, we had no breakfast. The owner gave us a voucher to drive down to a golf course to get food. All in all, a pretty dismal trip to the wine country
