Unit was not clean. Units were all full of flies. Had a rat in our unit as well. ##### Y ### 4/10 Poor #### Zakiyya 19 Jan 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### A disappointing holiday An absolutely disappointing experience.. We came in early, our fault... We didn't realize check in was at 3.. At 3pm we were issued a key to a room that wasn't ready yet.. Went back to to reception and we were issued another chalet... There are no fans or air-conditioning units in the chalet.. The chalet was infested with flies.. Drove up to reception and was handed a can of doom... So, no air-conditioning or fan and we can't keep the windows or doors open cos the flies are a bother.. I counted 35 flies in the lounge and room... The kitchen had cobwebs, the blinds were taken off, probably broken.. I thought I'd use the spa bath to cool down. But when I switched on the jets fly lavae had filled my tub... The toilet had a constant leak.. After giving up and deciding I'm leaving early the next morning I decided to go to bed where I was greeted by a fishmoth good night... An absolutely disappointing waste of money... And on our way out we were told.. "see you next time" I very much doubt that, unless the resort has a major spring clean and upgrade ##### Zakiyya Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dagmar 15 Nov 2023 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Bäder schmutzig, Terrasse schmutzig, Toilettensitz lose, Möbel alt und benutzt, Herd schmutzig.

Dirty, unmaintained. The only good thing is the refund we are getting from leaving early. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Pieter 6 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### A great holiday destination A massive upgrade since the last time i was there. Reception is great and the staff are friendly. The chalets are perfectly furnished, clean and equipped with everything you need. The only downside was the restaurant, as it closes at 18h00 and the menu did not have alot of options for dinner. It also only opened at 08h00 so breakfast was a no go. Nevertheless, my Burger were still great and my breakfast pack also good. I was on a business trip so i did not have alot of time to explore further but believe that there oe alot to do. Definitely a go as a holoday destination. ##### Pieter Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sthulile 23 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect Everything was perfect, great location.

Gorgeous view, well stocked and clean cottage... BUT a major issue with the electricityenat that both myself and my wife were shocked in the bath and shower whenever we touched the plumbing. It was really frightening and did not seem to be taken too seriously when reporting the incident the following day on checking out. ##### Grant Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Imraan 15 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Amazing getaway Amazing ##### Imraan Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication We had a beautiful stay .

We had a truly excellent stay at Saddle & Trout. The estate was so quiet and peaceful that it gave us the opportunity to really rest and recover. General maintenance was good but could be improved. It must be noted that these are COVID times so we have to cut the resort some slack as they are dealing with a wide range of issues. We were not bothered with flies as the other reviews suggest. This could be due the location of our cottage and the time we travelled (early spring). I would definitely return and recommend this place to freinds and family. ##### Ahmed H Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 13 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort staff were friendly and very helpful ,Horse ride was amazing ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RICKSHANA 25 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Had a enjoyable stay.
