"We had bats living in our roof, apparently knowingly by the owner (they built a house for them on the near cabin and they migrated to ours). We had to go to bed and sleep with constraint scratching and sliding noises, that was terrible. When we brought it to the attention of the team, they didn’t even bother apologising.

"In general the hotel is very run down. Things falling apart and dysfunctional, including pool area and umbrellas and gardens. The resort is in desperate need of serious maintenance. Also, no wi fi in rooms for a 4 star hotel is not really acceptable. Poor conditions somewhat compensated for by the first class and much appreciated service from Petrus and some of his staff -especially chef and Thabisa."

"Amazing location and accommodation. The only thing to note is the drive up to the apartment. It’s high up and my husband is afraid of heights. Once you have done it , it gets fine lol but it’s so worth it. Breakfast is served in the apartment and the beds were perfect. Great two nights and loved every minute of it."
