    There were a lot of mosquitoes but Doom was supplied. The shower head sprayed water all over the bathroom. The pool was good but overflows leading to water lying about and encouraging mosquitoes.

    A very comfortable bed. A pool and Braai area. Air conditioning worked very well.

    The place is buzzing with Mosquitos. You cannot leave a window or crevice open. You will otherwise be bitten raw. They were everywhere. I had to spray the room and leave it unoccupied while we went out for dinner. I had a peaceful and pleasant sleep because of that.

    The linen was clean and the unit was generally clean.

    The soap they supplied us for the shower was the size of a wine gum, one shower with one person and it was finished. Additionally, some alarm was going off at 3 or 4 in the morning right next to our room and it would not switch off and it drove us crazy and contributed to a bad nights sleep.

    Property well maintained, very nice swimming pool. Room was nice and big and had an aircon, with a nice shower.

    Our room did not have a mosquito screen and the window was broken and couldn’t be shut. This didn’t help the mosquitos who flooded into the room once the lights were switched on. The mattress also seemed a bit too soft.

    The location was beautiful, and the swimming pool and braai area were a welcome treat after a long day in the car. The breakfast is fantastic and fairly generous. Bed linen, room and bathroom were spotlessly cleaned.

    The road to Karoo Pandok is a bit worn and does make one wonder about safety. But nothing to worry about in the end, very safe!

    Very clean and with lots of space and additional amenities. Linda is a wonderful host, who provided all that we needed

    No complaints or problems encountered, besides load shedding Road to the farm was in poor condition and will get worse during rainy season, so low vehicles could struggle.

    Breakfast was superb, Zelda went the extra mile to ensure we were well spoilt, even though it was during load shedding. Adequate emergency lighting to cater for load shedding. We were upgraded due to later bookings, so no complaints on that front :)
