Negative Reviews
negative:
Traffic noise
It is a bit disappointing, to say the least, for a lot of guests to find such an idyllic and remote country setting and still be disturbed by the sound of traffic. The level of noise from the main N2 route seems to vary according to which side of the camp you are situated. If you're in the wrong part, your dreams of feeling at one with nature could be shattered.
negative:
Overpriced and dated
Many guests feel that whilst the surroundings are exceptional, the lodge is far too expensive, compared to other accommodation in the area. The complex seems to be showing its age and in a poor state of repair with serious renovation needed.
negative:
Connection problems
A lot of guests comment on the unavailability of Wi-Fi. Perhaps this is because it comes with a fee attached? Even so, there are still complaints that the hotel has no vouchers available to purchase. On top of that, due to its location, many guests have difficulty getting cell-phone reception.
