The location is conveniently located next to the main road with safe parking. Our room overlooked the river featuring amazing sunset views. The food at the restaurant was excellent.

Bad service
Not so good. Very impersonal check-in...limited information provided and had to make calls from the room to request for basics like WiFi password. Allocated a room I had not requested, called to request the booked room, an alternative key brought to the room with little communication on room location, etc....service very unfriendly. The room had spider webs, the bathtub plug didn't close and we couldn't take a proper bath. No extra blankets...and its winter now, with the aircon not working to warm up the room. No social distancing at breakfast...tables set up to full capacity! What a sad way to spend a birthday & Mother's day weekend!!

African Time
The room was clean and adequate with a coffee/tea maker and small fridge. Bed was comfy. The bathroom was clean and offered small size toiletries. The restaurant offered good food but the service was very slow. The saving grace in having to wait so long for our dinner was the pleasant indoor/outdoor dining area. Breakfast was also of a good quality but again the service time was unacceptable. Overall a good stay and we would probably return.
