Imithi is in a beautiful location. The lodgings are rustic, but cozy. I would have gone back there, if it weren't for the abhorrent treatment we received from the hostess.

Awesome place!
The thatched "stone cabin" is in the forest and is very neat, clean and comfortable with a very large deck (above and below) and the braai/boma area under the trees is a very nice place to visit. There are comfortable couches inside the cottage and outside on the deck where you can just lounge all day long. Two fridges, shower, corner bath, nice hot water, barbecue and fire pit - what more could you want? The rock pools are just a short walk from the cottage and are great fun - especially the natural water slides! The person who gave such negative feedback is talking nonsense and should rather stay at home or go to 5 star hotels because Imithi is a great place.

No value for money. Place falls out of each other.
We will definitely never go to this place again. For the money you pay, you get no value. The place is in a state and also unsafe. The toilet, bath and sink leak water through to the ground floor in the kitchen. The shower is clogged and leaking all over the bathroom floor. One staircase is broken that you have to climb to the top. Owners not even willing to pay us back some of the money. We were incredibly disappointed in this place. Watch out for pictures, it looks awesome but isn't.

Rustic River & Bush Getaway 's response
This review is grossly unfair and exaggerated. Compare it to reviews on other platforms from very happy clients. I rushed up after receiving this feedback, thinking that perhaps that a troupe of baboons had wrecked our place in the few hours between us doing a deep clean and their arrival. I imagined broken stairs and chewed up plumbing. There were no leaking pipes, as suggested. I did a tour with a video camera and tested all the points of complaint. Only filling the bath up to capacity and splashing huge amounts of water would cause the water to leak downstairs.
While we found a small leak on the downstairs basin, which is now fixed, we found no leaks from toilets and upstairs basin. While the shower has a slightly slower drainage it is not a blocked pipe and the water does not collect in shower.
The stair referred to as broken is solid and does not pose any danger to even a very big person, but we have reinforced that too. While we appreciate feedback, I feel this is an outright attack. Our place is arty and bohemian and designed for travellers and adventurous nature lovers who enjoy sunset views, outside braai's, hiking, swimming in rivers and a cosy indoors arrangement. It clearly does not suit conservative tastes. And why would you stay for the entire booking without letting us know that there were problems and then demand a refund after the fact?
