It is all around three stars. Staff was very friendly. We had to move rooms due to a leaking Aircon and it was easily facilitated. Which takes me to the maintenance issues everywhere. It’s also too big for my liking so I would find it overwhelming if it had been booked but we went off-season mid-week. Breakfast was very good with loads of options. For dinner, the first night we only got to choose from the pub-type menu and - while the kitchen is skilled - the choice of food wasn’t for us. There was a set menu option the following evening but we were very late and didn’t try it. There’s also the ever-present smell on the whole property; like sewage and we’re not sure if it’s from the dirty river upstream. It’s mild but noticeable. They advertise hikes and you can access the Zwartkops mountain trail area. We did a hike and it must be noted that the walks are not maintained and even on the marked easy walks we had to climb over fallen rocks and there had been landslides and there are fallen trees to climb. We did happen to enjoy that but it’s a tough one. Also to note that the bit along the river smells very strong from the pollution from upstream squatter camps.
