Good accommodation, clean and well priced. Things we didn't like: reception hours extremely limited which meant getting change for laundry, or arranging clean linen was difficult if we had been out during the day and didn't return before 4pm. Reception staff not overly helpful. 2 week long stay with 5 people and no clean linen/ towels provided, or any servicing whatsoever. We waited 5 days at first thinking that we'd provided clean towels eventually, after that we had to keep going back to reception every few days to ask for more. Otherwise a plesant stay.

The rooms were super clean but not the sofas, the fridge and tv remote! Space was really good. The area is very nice and calm. The gentleman at the front desk on the first day of our arrival was very friendly but the lady at the front desk on the secon day we met to ask some questions were not so friendly and welcoming!

Rude reception staff and poor directions to our cabin. We were sent to a camp site. Incorrect invoice wrongly showing balance to be paid. Strong smell of chlorine inside cabin on arrival was overwhelming.

Pros: Service in this property was amazing. Very friendly, incredibly helpful (offering an additional heater). Cost was pretty low. Location was good to get to the city easily. Cons: Villas are very outdated (caretaker mentioned they are undergoing Renos soon), they need deep cleaning- the lounge was filthy- we had to use the blanket to cover it. The bed dresses were stained and dirty, all window sills were dirty- the bunks had black residue on the sheets which had fallen from the window sills. The bunks aren’t made (Bottom sheet on bed with top sheet and (dirty) blanket folded for self making. Dishes in cupboard dirty (coffee cups with stains, cutlery dirty etc) the heater is set to not go above 22•c we spoke to management who said it want possible to change and provided us with a blow heater to warm the rooms. This property is not on the lake as stated in description and pics- it is quite a long and arduous walk to the lake (even with taking the ‘easier’ road option- not for elderly or unfit. We were very disappointed as we’d hoped to do kayaking as in pics- that spot is a 2 hour return walk through the National park. You can access baron lake via a walking down road around the side of property but it’s a huge hill and still a very long walk. This property is directly across the road from a very large cemetery. No cafe or food close by except a coffee shop in the cemetery which we didn’t use with children. Great staff- doable villas- pics should show actual grounds.
