Disappointing Stay in a beautiful resort

The stay was an utter disappointment. Very very noisy guests, loud music, screaming and shouting and loud parties. Impossible to relax and enjoy the mountains. Some guests were even driving up and down with music blasting from their cars. Check in was good and security at the gate very friendly. Depending on your unit you have to carry your luggage from your car a fair distance to the chalet. They should get golf carts to assist with this. The resort should really clamp down on noisy guests day and night.

Cockroaches and spiders

Within 15 min of checking in our cottage, we found 3 monster cockroaches roaming around the kitchen, bathroom and entrance. There were also big spiders in their web, which means the cottage hadn’t been properly cleaned before we checked in. Furniture was broken, there was no AC and the bedroom ceiling fans hardly ventilated the room, so It was very hard to sleep comfortably at night. For a 4 star resort, this was below average for my expectations. Check out time was 10am, we asked for an 11 am check out and reception agreed. At 09:30 am, the housekeeper was standing outside our cottage, watching us, waiting for us to leave. I had to go speak to her to tell her we were not leaving until 11 am. She was stunned and appeared to not know what to do. I had to tell her 3 times that we were not leaving the room for another hour and a half.

heavenly location shadows all other aspects

This is a classic location, location, location resort. Not that its other aspects are bad. The cottages are really nice and comfortable, but the location is so amazing that everything else is shadowed by it. We enjoyed a lot both the horse riding session and the walk to the nearby falls. The only weak spot is the food. Resisting buffets (which did not seem too tempting), we had to eat all our meals (which were pretty mediocre) in the charmless cafe. One night we ordered steaks which came out too done and tasteless. The two of us who protested, received excellent steaks as replacement - and I wonder why one needs to protest in order to receive good food. Other than the food, I would give it 5 stars, so perhaps this is ideal for self catering families.

We booked for the mothers day lunch at 12.30 however after having our starter and soup when we got to the main course all the vegetables were finished, the chef did bring us roast potatoes but nothing else. We were advised that you were expecting a large party but I feel that this lunch was under catered and certainly not worth R165,00. When we were leaving I asked if there was somebody who could help us get our luggage to the car as we were 3 elderly ladies and it was difficult for us to carry and pull our cases over the grass, nobody arrived. Other than the above we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt that the chalet was very comfortable and well appointed.

Nice stay

It was a great vacation except the 1 chalet we had (booked 3) the downstairs toilet had a really terrible stench. We could not even walk past it if the door was open. Had to call maintenance and only the next morning did they sort out as it was late. I also had a problem with the cleaner in my chalet who had a terrible attitude. Infact it stank more than the toilet so to speak. When we spoke to her she just totally ignored us. I had to call the supervisor who I must say came very promptly and apologized. Other than that everything else was just perfect and we really had a great time. The resort is spot on when it comes to entertainment especially for the kids.

Horrendous Resort

The most terrible treatment we have ever come across from any Resort or Hotel that we have been to. We were first allocated to a most horrendous and filthiest room. Then the service from all sectors of this Resort was pathetic. There was this particular lady by the name of Smangele at the breakfast restaurant who was extremely rude and unhelpful for the entire stay. She does not have any personality or any hospitality at all, she is full of bad attitude. The quality of food was an absolute disaster. We will never set our feet on this horrible Resort. We had an awful stay, period.
