Positive: Location and very quiet. Manual was a great help.

Negative: Room was very hot. Aircon units would have been great. The place felt like it had been given some paint and that was the upgrade. Was not very well managed at all.

Summary: Our most expensive stop on our holiday and not worth the value

Positive: I booked the stay for my elderly parents. They have told me so many lovely things about the property: the setting along the Bitou estuary, the bedrooms, the views and the hosts who were exceptionally attentive and caring and friendly. They even booked a restaurant for my folks that was wheelchair friendly. My dad raved about the breakfasts, saying they were better than breakfasts he has had in 5-star hotels all over the world. My mom loved the tranquility and sounds of nature. Thank you so much for making my parents' stay so special.

Summary: My folks will be back!

Positive: The staff was very friendly, we felt warmly welcomed, they also brought us gluten free rusks. The place is beautiful, and it is a nice spot to relax and be in nature. The breakfast was delicious, although for the price, there could have been better options.

Negative: The swimming pool was dirty. Also, the view of the river was not that great compared to the photos, as it needs some clearing up work. We were expecting a nicer view of the river. Regarding the price, it is a bit higher for the value that they offer.
