Reviews

  • "FAMILY COTTAGE"

    11 January 2018

    "The Family Cottage is very small, Toilet and shower right next to the kitchen not for me. In my opinion not big enough for 6 people - 4 max will propably stay comfortable enough. The beds were very comfortable and the linen clean. The rooms do not have space to move around in, there is harldy space for one suitcase in the room. I also found the cutlery and crockery not very clean and had to wash it before using it. The lady housitting for the owners was very friendly and very helpfull. Overall the facilities were very neat and well kept. All the airconditioners were in a good working order as was the TV and DSTV. Not a bad experience overall but if you need your space this cottage is not for you."
