Place very dirty, mould in fridge.

Not worth the money charged, the towels provided were all torn, and surface areas were very dirty, toothbrush glass in the bathroom looked like haven't been cleaned for months inside and mould in the fridge.

Good place to stay and get up and go.

Host was very helpful and accommodating. It was my first loft experience with which I felt very comfortable.

Good food and service with a smile.

Leendert and his family was very accommodating with any and all requests. Can happily recommend them if you're looking for a stopover or short stay in Pietermaritzburg.

Blyplek en beddegoed is stowwerig en alles is baie vuil.

Sal beslis nie die blyplek aanbeveel nie. Geen skoonmaakdiens! Geen ordentlike parkering - honde spring teen jou voertuig op en los krapmerke. Tuin is oorgroei. Ontbytpap is stokoud en geen melk voorsien.

Accommodation and bedding are dusty and everything is very dirty.

Would definitely not recommend the place to stay. No cleaning service! No decent parking - dogs jump up on your vehicle and leave scratch marks. Garden is overgrown. Breakfast porridge is stone cold and no milk provided.

Very basic, looks like it has been put together in a hurry, poor finishes, especially in bathroom.

Shower head too low for even a person of average height. Hot / cold indicator on basin tap wrong way round resulting in unnecessary wait for hot water and resultant water wastage. Redeeming factor was being close to where I was doing business. Will not choose again. I am sure there is better, but you get what you pay for! It appears a lot of B&Bs were full at the time.
