the location was gorgeous.
Room 1 and 2 same cost. 2 much smaller and poorer than 1. Filthy under bed, ceiling leaks inside door, Tv blacks out, poor wifi, bathroom door can't close, cheap furnishings, dog feces around our car every morning, advertised as luxury, but poky.

Beautiful seclusion
Great scenery
Poor cabin signage
Luke warm bath water
(My stay was a first with beach side cottages, so I don't know if we were supposed to bring out own towels and duvet. And we in fact had to quickly go and get a duvet because it was getting cold)
No towels
Barely any sheeting and bedding, old bedding
Really OLD and flimsy blankets
Musky scent

Mattress very firm, not comfortable. Requires maintenance

Kitchen well stocked. Comfortable lounge furniture
1. Geyser did not heat up enough for showering we had to wash in luke warm water in the hand-basin.
2. No extra blankets
3. 2 useless small solar lights - one broken, one switched off after 1 minute.. No facilities or equipment for loadshedding. No gas stoves which would have used a stove kettle, no self charging globes for lights
4. No solar lights down bridge and walkway very dangerous
5. Only 1/2 toilet roll in toilets luckily we brought our own
6. This was a upmarket log cabin - more expensive than other beach cottages - no guest soaps and no guest shampoos. Had to supply your own towles.
7. Windows and floors could have done with a better cleaning
8. Told to put keys into red box. Left at 5am. Red box behind licked gate. Fortunately we noticed a postbox in wall we used. Was not told about it.
9. Reception at the top of a very high flight if stairs, not suitable for older persons to climb up.
10. Phoned office number as stated on book, to ask about TV only to be met with a "who are you' snappy older receptionist, who informed me in an impatient voice, that the instructions were on the outside back cover of the book
We will not use this resort again.
