Not enough parking, place still looks like it's being renovated, no proper check in, no towels in the rooms, missing light bulbs, spider webs, dirty bathro...

    I would not recommend this place to anyone EVER and wish we had read the reviews before booking. It seems like the owner just don't care at all. Not enough parking, place still looks like it's being renovated, no proper check in, no towels in the rooms, missing light bulbs, spider webs, dirty bathrooms, no toilet paper, no coffee tea sugar milk kettle, mouldy mug found in the fridge and the list goes on!! I was just glad that the beds were neat and comfortable. We complained to the owner after our stay and he was so rude, didn't even reply or apologise after receiving our complaints. What a rip off!! I am disgusted by the lack of service and no care attitude. It seems like everyone complain about the same things and nothing changes. People like this owner should not be running a Guest House "Events venue"

    We booked the venue to have a weekend away for a birthday celebration. When we arrived we didn't have proper parking in the yard, so we were made to park in the street. Entering the yard it was being renovated something we were not informed of. We booked self catering to only find out we are using the kitchen that's being used by the staff members and the bathroom as well. We were having a chat in the room and were told to consider other guest while we were the only guests here. This was confirmed by the staff whom we are sharing facility with. We were woken up by drills while we were trying to relax.. She shouldn't have taken in guests if the place is under construction or the least let us know prior. I will never book this place again, there is no customer service

    The rooms are outdated, horrible decor and bedding. The level of cleanliness is questionable. The images online are just a fabrication. The Caretaker kept on fighting with the guests the whole time we were there. We were told we'd be paid back 50% of our money. We are still waiting to this day. The only glimmer of hope in this place are the boys who work there, humble staff.

    Management will offer you parking outside where they park their own cars and say its safe but you only woke up your car smashed theirs will be 100% okay, the rooms are stuffy and no bathrooms and still under construction not safe to stay.,1 of the Management kept on coming to me asking for a cigarette lighter whilst they busy breaking your car outside and in the morning act as if they don't know anything. AND if you ask them to call cops they will tell you cops won't come they are useless.

    Based on most of old reviews I read here I was scared and nervous of going to Yatch View but the place met my expectations. The bedding was clean, room was clean and well air-conditioned. The lady who checked us in was friendly and all her stuff was friendly. Free parking was provided and all necessary facilities were available. The area is quite, if you want a peace of mind from all the hassle and bustle of the big city at an affordable price Yatch view is the place. The only issue I had was with sharing a bathroom with an entire floor.

    Violet is helpful and very friendly, she gets a 10/10. Parking space is really tiny, the owner should inform guests to rather not bring their cars. The rooms are clean however if you’re looking for privacy this is not the place for you. The rooms are close together and the walls really thin. Even when other people are talking softly you hear them. Say goodbye to your privacy for the duration of your stay. You will be forced to share a toilet and bathroom with complete strangers.

    A very quiet place, suitable for the whole family. Kids will enjoy more. It has a beautiful view to the Dam. The stuff are so sweet and they communicate well with guests. The Rooms are so clean and neat.

    Horrible stay!!! Book at own risk!!! The manager Harry tried his best to accomodate our requests. The pool area was nice and basically the only nice thing about our stay. After that it was just downhill. To start off with the receptionist was not friendly at all and never have seen anyone in this industry be so grumpy before. Our room had 7 beds in a very small room, which i had to share with my wife an inlaws. Bedding was stained here and there and no extra pillows. Triple bunk in the room did not look stable and basically no space in the room due to the beds squashed in. The microwave, dishes, kettle and stove are kept in a wardrobe in the room, so if you wanted to make something, you have to make it out of the wardrobe. Most wardrobes in the room were locked so couldnt store baggage in the cupboards. The bathroom and toilet was filthy. The common area carpets were filthy and the tv there didnt work. Wifi was slow. The shared kitchen is basically 2 cupboards in a passage with a small stove and a sink. The pots that were given to us to cook in were filthy, had a black layer of burnt food which spoiled our food as we cooked. The parking was a nightmare, there was not enough space for all the vehicles and all guests were constantly being asked to move and repark our cars, despite most having alcohol as it was new years eve. There was stench in the parking lot due to the bins and rubbish lying there. The electricity kept tripping during the entire stay which was irritating as it was hot so aircons were functional now and again so I did not sleep well. Toilets by the pool area was absolutely disgusting. For the steep price you pay, really not worth it compared to other establishments. All guests I chatted to hated the guesthouse and regretted booking there. There was a couple that came, saw the place and left. If I could have been refunded, I would have driven back home.

    Partner and I had stayed at Yacht View the past weekend, the view is stunning and the entire place is clean and comfortable, as the people are so friendly and thoughtful that it makes you feel welcome. Also they have a variety of spa, beauty treatments right at the guesthouse for amazing cost's. Thank you so much for the relaxing, comfortable stay! Will definitely be there for my anniversary and that couple spa package.

    Quiet place, just home away from home. Excellent location, great view of a dam.

    This place is the worst guesthouse I have ever been to. My partner and I went there for a one night stay and it became a nightmare as people were partying till the wee hours of the night while the Janette had no clue on how to deal with those nuisances. On top of all of the noise issues the electricity was tripping every 5min so we basically couldn't watch television and/or charge our phone. The staff as really unphased and show no compassion for what was happening. We are never ever going there. If you want peace and serenity I would suggest you do not go to this place. STAY AWAY!!!

    It is not a bad place but the rules are a joke and nobody to enforce them. The bathroom in the 9 sleep room is really not up to standard. The kitchen is very basic with only 4 utensils. Renevating going on, not enough parking, naked people in the reception area and people sleeping on the couch in reception area. Dont think I will book again

    Stayed in the R800 room for the night, it's very small but was neat and clean. The view from the above parking was incredible!
