“Disappointing, but with lots of potential”
+The kitchen/Tv room was good, although the plugs kept on tripping when we boilt the kettle. The idea of g this accommodation is very good, but the caravan needs deep cleansing and general maintenance. The blankets were lovely and warm.
−In our caravan we had NO electricity. Therefore no lights or plugs to charge our phones or powerbanks. Also no working wifi

“Fantastic staff and location at a great price, but the accommodation needs some work on comfort”
+The staff were very professional and helpful. The location is also spot on and it’s excellent value for money. It’s hard to beat this price for such a convenient area.
−The facilities and comfort were a bit underwhelming. The place needs a more thorough clean and the rooms could definitely be updated to feel more comfortable. It’s a bit basic once you’re inside

“Amazing”
+Rene the host was so welcoming, I sent my mom and son and there was a bit of a misunderstanding with payment through Bookings.com and I still owed Joint Backpackers and I was so worried as I wondered where my mom them would sleep but Rene told me not to stress, she gave the room to them and just sent me her banking details. She has already booked my next stay for October.
−That I was not there to experience everything that my mom bragged about :)

“clean and functional location, perfect for a pack packer”
+This is the perfect spot for an overnight or maybe up to 3 nights. We used the location to see sites during the day and returned for the evenings to wash up and enjoy a braai under the night sky. The grounds gave me piece of mind as it was fully enclosed and my kids could wonder round with ease. The kitchen and facilities where clean and adequate with all the needed amenities in place. We stayed in the two stationary caravans and at night you get the feel of Glamping in the out doors. Id defiantly recommend the site at the recommended price it was well worth the stay
−Nothing to mention
