When we arrived the property was closed. Two phone numbers that were associated with this hotel were \"out of service\". With the help of our driver and the hotel's neighbor we were able to see some person who came from the back of the hotel (most likely he was security guard). The person told us the the property is closed because they don't have water and all reservations are canceled (two or three days before our arrival). This person kept saying that he is not a manager and cannot do anything. Contacting Expedia support (via chat) didn't give us any help, because they also were not able to reach the hotel personnel.

Wonderful hosts and great rooms

We stayed here for two separate stays on our trip to South Africa- the first time the room was stunning - huge and with beautiful new bath and shower in the room, plus free sweets and drinks. The second time was a slightly less nice room but still huge, well stocked and very comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent and the hosts were extremely kind offering to drive us down to local restaurants in the evening and pick us up.
The resident pets are also an absolute delight to hang out with!
