Booked and paid for accomodation only to arrive and find the place has closed down, so we had nowhere to stay for the night.

The resort was quiet and peaceful and conveniently located close to things. The staff were very pleasant. There was a problem with the plumbing which interrupted the water supply for a few days.

Beautiful setting and quiet location. It is a little away from food and meal options so BYO or be prepared to drive up to Cape Trib and in-between for lunch or dinner options. Limited breakfast options. Rooms have a microwave and basic crockery and utensils, but no sink and there is no camp kitchen in the BBQ area which makes cleaning difficult in the bathroom sink. The site is on generator power so be prepared for some small hiccups but nothing dramatic at all. Wifi is available but good for messages only, not websites or social media.

The facility advertised WiFi but you couldn't connect to it. The rooms TV's had been removed. No air-conditioning. Water pressure was horrible and undrinkable. Frequent power losses so lights and fans would stop until power was restored.

location was great and the staff were excellent. the rooms were super clean and the shower was to die for after such a long drive... its proximity to where we wanted to go was perfect as well... our only regret is that we did not allow a longer amount of time there.. Thank you again to the staff who were so accommodating and we look forward to when we come up there again.. just as soon as we can
