    Maybe an aircon, instead of a fan heater and a TV.

    The only thing that could have been better is the water pressure in the shower

    When we arrived, the place exceeded what we expected for the price. The hosts were so helpful. It was spacious, and so well equipped. Very pleasantly surprised

    The closest restaurant is quit far away and we would have preferred a second full bathroom. The overall stay was very good.

    The stay was really comfortable for a halfway stop to the KZN south coast and the hosts were really friendly.

    Main issue we had was with water - not clean (left silt in the shower) and pressure so low it was difficult to shower. Toilet cistern took ages to fill up which was frustrating because it required two flushes. Altough listed as B & B here was no breakfast available which was okay but then at least have a fridge in the room.

    Room was clean and recently renovated. Beautiful location with lawns down to the Mooi river. Very pleasant.

    The lock on our unit's sliding-door l was broken which meant we had to sleep with an unlocked door and leave our property in an unlocked unit during the day. A safety concern given that Waterford Manor is in a farming environment. The showerhead is no good and need to be replaced or properly cleaned to provide decent water flow.

    The unit is big, clean and a good bed Parking right next to the unit is a bonus. We arrived late but Dan (the manager) waited for us. which we appreciated. We used the facility over the Midmar Mile weekend and being only 30km's from the dam made it a useful stay at a fair price for this purpose.

    There was no hot water in the morning when we wanted to bath. We were taken to another unit, and the water was also cold. The manager did call a plumber who had to change the geysers but by then we had left. The issue was attended to promptly but didn't make for a wonderful stay unfortunately.

    Quaint country lodging with a comfortable room, good quality linens, small kitchenette with a fridge.

    The below is just a guideline on what can be implemented or improved to further amplify the already good experience: The WiFi was extremely slow and I had difficulties connecting from our room - a lot of dead zones. I had to resort to using personal data - Vodacom and MTN had good coverage in the area though. The sliding door lock was broken in our room, but the owner was helpful in trying to sort it out. A few nitpicky issues: The TV is quite small and is very basic - no way to connect your phone or play Netflix. The shower head was slightly clogged and caused poor water flow coverage. The lack of air conditioning or even a fan made it uncomfortable in warmer weather. The kitchen only had two outlets, which made us constantly have to switch between the microwave, toaster, and kettle. There is only one braai stand for the entire manor by the pool area, which makes it a first come first serve basis. A dedicated braai stand outside each of the chalets would amplify the experience.

    The facility was very clean and tidy. There was a daily complimentary cleaning service. Complimentary soap, shampoo, and lotions in the bathroom were included - including all the utensils and cutlery needed to cook and store food. The place has a gas stove, a microwave, and a fridge which is convenient. It has a small TV with DSTV included - which gave us a chance to watch movies during down-time. We broke a cup and the caretaker replaced it immediately. The bed has heated blankets. The venue is very peaceful. It has the Mooi river adjacent to the pool area - that also has a deck with a seating area and a braai stand overlooking the surrounding area. The owner/ caretaker did a fantastic job with our queries and issues.
