    We should be informed that the hot tub is available only upon request. One of the reasons that lured me to booking was that the guest house had a hot tub. Other than that, everything was on point.

    The stuff was very welcoming. Always ready to assist you with a smile on their faces. The room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

    That we must not sit at the bar if we didn't buy the alcohol from the bar, since we are also supporting by buying things like shots at the bar The booking.com must inform us during the booking that the jacuzzi can only be used upon request

    The staff is very friendly and welcoming and very assistive whenever their help is needed

    I loved everything about the place. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I appreciate the fact that they extended our check out time that afforded us an opportunity to go to church early morning. Truly appreciated indeed, it was very accommodating of them. There are lots of ammenities but it's just that we did not get the time to use them due to our tight schedule whilst there.

    That the pool and hot tub was not prepared although they knew guest are coming as that was one of our main reasons for choosing them. Outside table and chairs near braai area doesn't have shade. Hot tub that's in the bar, but then there is no alcohol allowed in that area, doesn't make sense.

    The host was excellent, rooms very neat and clean. The caretaker was also very hands-on.

    Friendly host. Overall really good stay! I arrived later than expected but as soon as I called someone was awake and opened up the gate for me, i didn’t even wait 2 minutes to get inside! I’d definitely go back!

    It’s still new, so when you enter the room there is still the smell of cement or crack filler of sorts. This gave me a headache and awakened my sinuses. I trust that will be sorted for the guests that are yet to come though. I didn’t appreciate that the family house is intertwined with the guest room and there is no key to lock the room.

    This is a new property on the app, so everything is still a work in progress, however, I am so happy with their progress thus far. The room is beautiful and well worth the money spent. It’s a quiet area in general, but there’s a highway right behind the property where you hear cars passing all night. I’m a light sleeper, so that woke me up a couple of times. Other than that, it’s a good location in Brackenhurst. The bedding and towels were my favourite thing. So soft. The double shower was a plus for me too, as I enjoy taking showers with my partner.

    Almost everything. The hosts should do better because first impressions count.

    Not much really, we got there and it was chaos. They were painting or something like that, the family stays in the house so you could hear kids screaming here and there. Was only grateful to get a placeto sleep.

    The owner was beyond helpful 24/7. The property was very clean and we enjoyed the fact that each room came with its own remote. We could come and go as we pleased.

    The daughter was very rude, and she doesn't know what customer service it's all about,we had to step in on their fight between her and the husband during our stay. It was not good at all, so in short, they messed up our weekend. So we can't recommend anyone to visit there.
