👍👍 As soon as you arrive, the large river gives you a sense of serenity, calmness. Surroundings with the variety of trees, plants and the silence complete the beautiful and peaceful settings.

😠 I have been quite unimpressed with Curiocity’s poor treatment and business practices. My reservation number is 8353 in case they try to claim that this is a fake or false review. Since June 2022, I have been attempting to be refunded money without avail. At this point, they have stolen from me. On...

👍👍 I saw a report here from Bondi Hulley. Thought she may be reporting on the wrong place. On further investigation, it seems she should stick to the Carlton Hotel and the Eastern Cape which appear to be the ONLY places in her many travels she was happy.
