We arrived at the resort just after 5pm and was handed our keys with a map of where our unit was and a map of the various sites in the area. We noticed the shop was well stocked. When we got to our cabana, the unit was very clean, with a chocolate for each of us, some rusks and tea/coffee packs. The resort is very tranquil. It is close to every site in the lowveld.

Relaxing environment, bit pricey for what you get
Pros: nice area, relaxing, pools, convenient shop on site Cons: Unfriendly owners / managers / shop employees Aged (dirty) bedding needs replacement Uncomfortable beds Dirty extractor fan in bathroom Cutlery / Utensils aged - needs replacing Overpriced Overall: Nice stay in relaxing environment, but the owners should be guest orientated, friendly & approachable. More detailed cleaning of units. Bottom bedroom had a mouldy smell. Paying attention to finer details, like informing guests on check in that braai grids must be taken from the shop with a deposit, and ensuring that units are spotless clean will lead to better ratings. Seriously consider replacing mattresses & bedding

Okay!
It was a bit expensive for a basic self catering facility for max 4 persons, and the unit was a bit old, and smelt as though it had been closed up for a while. But overall the resort offers a lot, and I would likely go there again!
