The bath water took ages to get warm water and I wanted to soak myself after a long day. Ended up using the shower which was quick to give out hot water. The bath tub wastes a lot of water while waiting for hot water to come out.

Reviewed Mar 15, 2026Breakfast was good. Shower was good. Staff was helpful.
My initial room that was given was stuffy and in a corner with no view. The room that was recommended and available, the bed had a missing leg which was ver6 uncomfortable to sleep on. I was told that there was no other room, yet the room next door to me was empty and just a R100 extra which I could have paid. My stay was very unpleasant and traveled 650km that day and was very tired.

The area/pathway surrounding the buildings is uneven and a challenge for disabled and elderly guests. There is also a dangerous step leading into the breakfast area which either requires a ramp or to be clearly marked to avoid tripping. The uneven areas and trip hazards are a serious accident waiting to happen. The showers inside ought to have safety handrails and shelving for toiletries. The swimming pool ought to have a fence around it to protect children.
