    However, we were very disappointed that we couldn’t watch TV, especially since one of the main reasons we booked this space was because it advertised a smart TV. We communicated that the remote wasn’t working and requested new batteries from the owner. While he initially agreed, he never followed through and stopped responding to our calls. We ended up leaving without an apology, without seeing him again, and without being able to use the TV at all.

    The space was exactly as shown in the pictures—if not better! Excellent value for money. The room was very spacious, and the bathroom was equally roomy. We especially enjoyed having a private patio and a fully equipped kitchen. It made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    When we were at reception and have to wait till the lady finish cleaning, very bad impression. Colour scheme is not nice make the place dark. White would be good. Toilets must be near the rooms for during night hours. Bedding was not neatly Blinds does'nt close properly. Replace glass doors with wood doors it feels creepy Renovate the outside of the building to attract clients. Building looks creepy outside Not enough lightning inside, it also felt creepy when you enter at first its very dark Wifi very bad only one person can connect properly at a time

    Beds was very nice and space Some furniture

    The bathroom was not what I expected, also they have only one big towel and there's no bath towels. I think they should provide two big towels as we were a couple. And one small one it will be better.

    I liked how the bedroom part and wifi.

    Drastic maintenance needs to be done in and around the house....The bathrooms need painting and re-tiling, the kitchen cupboards must either be refurbished or replaced, the bedroom and ceilings really needs a paint-job, the grass and trees in the yard needs to be cut more frequently and the yard could be cleaner. (The condition of the house is passable, but it needs a complete makeover to meet exceptional standards.)

    Over all the place was good...nice and cozy, safe parking, value for money, the premises is secure and friendly service from the manager/ owner, I like the Portuguese restaurant right next door and shops and other restaurants are in the same road.

    The house, although clean, was unkempt. Paint peeling on walls, house have a slight mouldy/damp smell, toilet seats not fitting properly, kitchen cupboards needing attention. Security was a great concern as we found random people standing on stoep/veranda on their cellphones, most likely tapping into to wifi. Also found beer bottles on stoep the first morning, which we know was not there when we arrived.

    The house was clean and the cleaning lady was very helpful and kind Thank you Lerato for cleaning nicely

    When I arrived there was no sign of the guest house name. There could have been placed a shower door in the shower. The kitchen can do with new cupboard. There was a mouse in my room that kept me awake the whole night. The room could at least have hanging space but there was none.

    I liked bed was spacious and clean with en suit shower.
