Poor management and shocking maintenance
Lets start with the nice stuff: views are amazing and staff is very friendly. From the moment we arrived things went wrong. Our booking was mixed up and we got a hotel room instead of a self catering unit as booked, reception has no idea reg availability for it runs via a booking portal, 1 hr later and having to pay double we were allocated a rustic cabin. Planks were hanging off the ceiling, carpets were totally burned, nails were sticking out on the deck, curtains had broken off hooks, kitchen cupboards were rotten, TV cabinet falling apart, blind in bedroom can only be half opened... We had booked in for dinner at the restaurant at the hotel, there were 5 tables with patrons and 3 tables sent their food back, including us. I never had such overcooked pasta in my life and my partners "ribs" was 3 chunks of pure fat. No sauces, no salad dressing etc. When we spoke to the food and beverage manager she told us that this is a common complaint and voided our food (which we didnt eat anyway) tunreed out she is also working with the Manager of the Hotel so we told her the issues with the cabin. Again she was quite aware that our maintenance and complaints are very common and she will see what she can sort out. In the morning there were people hammering on the deck, the Tv cabinet and the planks back into the ceiling and that was about it. I wont even go into not having WIFI (which they know there is no reception at the cabins yet they advertise it anyway and give you a wifi password) or the hairdryer (which we then got from reception after assuring them 3 times that it is surely not in the wardrobe). In the morning we wanted to make use of the activities which the folder in our cabin told us to inquire at the reception, the gentleman was very friendly, but clueless (with his neatly ironed shirt spotting 2 big tears on his arm) , and was about to send us on a hiking trail with our bycicles. Also no archery (once again as they advertise on their webpage) and their entertainment room leaves much to be desired (once again in terms of upkeep and maintenance). If it wouldnt have been for the really long and rocky dirt road and the scenery we would have considered to leave. It is a real pitty for there is sure such potential but staff doesnt seem to be trained and maintenance is extremely poor. We wont be back.
Dear Heike,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us although this is not what we want to hear from any of our valued guests.
We are in the process of converting all our cabins from rustic units to modern European style cabins. For the poor presentation of your unit I take full responsibility for this poor offering from myself and the team.
We are working tirelessly on improving our food offering to our guests to firstly ensure the freshest and highest quality of products are cooked to perfection. This process does take some time but we are proud to say we can see the difference.
How the activities were presented by team is unacceptable and corrective training is in place to ensure this does not happen again. It is unfortunate that you will not be joining us again.
Kind Regards,
Johan Labuschagne
General Manager
