A hotel very much aimed at families, however the walls are so thin you can hear those families, and tv’s and snoring coming from next door and across the hall. Luckily it quietened down before midnight. For couples the B&B offer may not provide the quiet we were looking for depending on your neighbours. Otherwise the twin room we had was huge with a similarly huge bathroom , with full bath and separate shower. Plenty of storage, a fridge and tea and coffee facilities. Foreign plug sockets and modern decor. Two issues, bedside light to window side does not work, and standard lamp in seating area likewise doesn’t work.

Fantastic value for money. Room was huge and well furnished. TV channels excellent. Grounds lovely with rabbits roaming free. Gym with sauna. Good (but small) pool with water slide. Breakfast good.

Bad Breakfast and Dirty Pool 😢

The sparkling pool is what attracted me to make the booking; it is extremely hot during this time of year and the pool had big chunks of green slime on the bottom of the pool sadly we were not able to use it; super dissappointing as the hotel is tip top as far a cleanliness goes in the rooms. Breakfast pork sausage was raw but as I had to rush off to work was not possible to have my breakfast redone. So not a good experience at all.

Wir fanden unseren Aufenthalt schrecklich. Die Tür zum Apartment war absolut unsicher und hat bei jedem Windzug laut gewackelt, sodass unsere Kinder nachts schlecht schlafen konnten. Des Weiteren ist die Unterkunft absolut heruntergekommen, Löcher in der Couch, kaputte Möbel, Schimmel und Flecken im Badezimmer. Es fand keine tägliche Zimmerreinigung statt. Die Fenster waren vergittert und mit Milchglas, weil sie zum Parkplatz, zur Straße oder zum Innenhof mit Grill und permanenter Geruchsbelästigung raus führten. Leider garkeine Unterstützung seitens Expedia.

lovely place

lovely place with lots to keep you busy. Very good for families. We were lucky it was quiet when we went so great for a couple but definitely more of a family resort with free roaming bunnies all over the place and lots of activities to keep the kids busy.

Great stayover, close to all the area has to offer

Lovely, spacious, two-bedroomed apartment with good quality linen on beds and beautiful and large bathrooms. Towels maybe a bit small and dated. Very clean overall, except for bread crumbs left behind on the toaster. Great for families! Lovely balcony with barbecue facilities. Kitchen well equipped. The staff was lovely and really friendly. Overall great stay!

Fun place to stay

Negatives - the pictures for the studio room are misleading. There is no air-conditioner nor bathtub in the room, but in the pictures they do represent these amenities. Also if you book this resort with hotels.com, instead of going direct, you will need to purchase a pass for the resort's games at a cost of R100. Positives- self catering studio apartment had all the necessary kitchen utensils. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Games area to keep everyone busy.

Sehr gut gelegen, Familienzimmer ist perfekt

Wir hatten als Falilie Zimmer Nr. 50. Das war ein riesige Wohnung mit 2 Schlafzimmer mit jeweils eigenem eigenen Bad, riesige Küche/Wohmereich. Sehr schön gepflegter Garten, Pool.... Das Zimmer war ruhig und liegt an der N2, somit perfekt für alle Ausflüge.
