Reviews

"Not nice at all"

03 May 2018

"The place was dirty. The showers a total disaster. The water was either excessive hot or cold...nothing in between. The towels did not smell nice. The braai outside was a mess. We had to buy one to use. The bedding was old and washed out. Some not even clean. I won't recommend it to anybody."
"Easter weekend at Serenity"

03 April 2018

"The view was awesome but the facility very disappointing, with leaking kitchen pipes, broken toilet flush and inadequate cutlery/ crockery for self catering made it very challenging for us to enjoy the stay. Only a few plugs were working. The place was also not clean. We departed a day earlier than planned."

"Disappointing and over priced."

10 April 2017

"It had a lovely view of the dam but not worth the money I paid for the weekend. I booked for 10 people as the has offered 5 bedrooms. When entering the house had a closed up smell as though it has not been used in a while. The furniture was old. The one bedroom stank and it was not possible for anyone to sleep in. The cups, plates and dishes were all cracked and chipped. Dishcloths filthy and old. Kitchen had bugs in it. The fridge was not on when we arrived nor the geyser for hot water. The beds were not clean. The rooms all had a damp smell and there was no privacy in the bathrooms. The ceiling fans made a terrible noise. The floor in the house was sticky in places.The garden was full of bottle tops and cigarette butts. We also battled to find someone to open the house for us. I was told to phone which we did at about 1pm and my call was only returned after 5pm. Definitely not relaxing. Will not recommend this house to anyone."

Craig and Raleigh went over and above to make our stay memorable and special as it was our anniversary weekend.<br>Would recommend Serenity to anyone visiting Harties, and cant wait to go back."

"We unfortunately only stayed one night at this amazing Guest House. The owners are tremendously warm and welcoming people, a pleasure to meet and talk to. The house is superb. Amazing rooms, amazing design. On of all of this the view on a Moon lit sky of the dam is spectacular. Excellent all round."
