I have read in a previous review that even though there is a kettle and cups there is no coffee, tea or sugar, this was however not a problem as there is restaurants on site that open at 8, although they should be serving better coffee, than instant. I would stay there again but in a self catering unit. ##### Hayley Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 15 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was freezing cold and the airconditioner was not working. On asking the receptionist for assistance, she brushed my request off. I woke up sick. The following morning, I could not get an iron for my clothes. I immediately checked out instead of staying for one more night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 May 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Thandi 16 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The place is beautiful and very peaceful. You need to improve your TV 's and make sure they work properly cause we couldn't watch soccer as some of the channels were not working.
