Disappointing
We were rather disappointed, the images from the website was obviously taken when the establishment first opened which was MANY years ago & it has deteriorated much since then e.g the Lapa on the water, we thought we would spend our new years there fishing, but there were no floor planks.The bedding in the room had stains on it, the roof was leaking so the one single bed was soaking.We love animals, but there was a huge dog & cat that were jumping on the table where were had a braai after having to thoroughly clean & burn whatever was left on from previous braai. No one introduced us to the animals, yes they were friendly but anything could of happened especially when it comes to food... The road, there is no road, it was so bad, we were lucky we arrived in a bakkie... The shower drain was obviously blocked, one of our friends tried to have a shower which ended up a leg soak as the water wasn't draining... The rest of us decided to wait until we got back to the comfort & cleanliness of our own home. We asked for keys for the room, as there is a front & back door as there were other guests on the property & unfortunately this is South Africa, he told us that we are near the border and the police drive up and down every now & again, I was rather irritated as that is not what we asked for & he never gave us keys, thankfully there was a set just hanging in the door parallel to our room & I tried them & those worked but meaning all keys open all doors. Not worth the price

Piet Retief
The resort is on a farm 30km from Piet Retief. The road is not pleasant. The accommodation is pleasant enough and if we stayed longer we may have used some of the amenities. The farm is a monkey rehabilitation center
