Nabeel
You get what you pay for
One night stay, nothing to rave about , the cheapest accommodation for the day in cape town. Very small though
Godfrey
It is good for camping and for singles
The hotel/lodge need more self contained rooms. The place is self cantering but some items bought can disappear easily. I was given a family room. Good water flow and hot water was available.
Bradley
Avoid at all costs
This place was terrible. To start, they tried to make me pay again when I already paid online. I had to speak to the owner on the phone who lied to me about it and was extremely rude. I booked two private rooms and they tried to make me share a room with another guest. I refused because I paid more to have my own room. They do not provide wifi like is advertised and when I pressed the owner, he gave me one coupon for 100mb internet for two rooms (4 people). I told him it was advertised online as free wifi and he got very angry. He insulted me and my nationality. The place is ok. It is very loud all night which made it difficult to sleep. The shower was only luke warm. Skip this place. Pay the extra little bit to stay somewhere else.
