Such a warm and welcoming place, it does feel like a big and caring family. On our first night there was a lovely braai, the perfect opportunity to meet fellow travellers. Breakfast is plenty and yummy.

How its an open environment, but you have privacy as well. The facilities are great. Our rooms were spotless and tidy clean when we came back everyday. And how safe and secure the property is. Also the honesty fridge is a great touch, being able to grab a drink whenever was very ideal.
Im really struggling to find anything bad about the property. However at night during the time we came it got super cold, but once we found the electric blankets everything was fine. Maybe just emphasise that they are there if needed.

Amazing amazing stay. Stayed in the all female room. 3 beds, comfortable matras, big lockers (bring your own lock), big bathroom. The quality of the furniture is of the highest. Lots of work space. The staff is super friendly. Cannot recommend this place enough. Electric lock on all rooms.
Everything was exceptional. Note that breakfast is continental and not full breakfast.

The fact that the place was clean and quite
There is no bar fridge in the room. As runners, we need to keep our hydration stuff and booster drinks cold hey.

It was homey and friendly. I liked having breakfast with the other guests and exchanging tourist ideas.
The scatter rug in my room was on a smith painted concrete surface and was so slippery I fell when I first came in and then I removed the rug.

The electric blanket for the bed was so cozy in cold nights!
The property was cold in general, Ive not seen any ACs or anything but theres a fireplace in the common area. The bed has an electric blanket so it wasnt a big of a deal for me.

We felt like home indeed. All started with a hearty welcome and the breakfast talks were just nice. Staff gave very helpful tips and safety recommendations so we had a perfect stay.
Even during cold days, the electric blankets give you a good sleep.
All good:)
