Easy check in. We had contacted in advance about early check in options as our plane landed at 8.30am but this could not be guaranteed until the day unless we bought in advance the day before. We decided not too and the host contacted us in the morning to say we could head straight from the airport - this was so helpful. On arrival, check in was easy and smooth. We didn’t receive any sort of handover info in terms of ‘this is how you work heating, this is how you do TV’s etc’ but we managed to work everything out with a Google. Staff were on site, room cleaned daily, bins emptied etc. there were two gardeners also always on site, and the garden grounds were immaculate and well maintained. The apartment ( we stayed in the cottage) had everything we could need and was truly self catering including tea towels, washing up liquids, oil etc! On day we sat out on the sun loungers and the gardeners arrived with cushions without prompting and fitted these for us - very kind! Felt safe and secure with gated entry, quiet area other than some birds that were noisy in the morning but nothing can help that! We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to visit again. Checkout was quick and smooth too!

My family of 5 rented the cottage and 2 garden facing studios, #3&4 and we all had a great stay. Comfort in every aspect. Would definitely return. Shopping and eating is within a short walk or drive. Everything needed is provided. Cleanliness is a priority.

The Haystack is a wonderful place to be

The beautiful garden, swimming pool, and walling distance to shops make this already a great location but it geta even better with the air conditioned rooms, backup generator power, and best of all the hospitality of the owner/manager. They were always acomidationg for anything that we needed. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in thw area

Owner was professional yet friendly (husband’s 4th visit, my first). Spotless accommodation, thoughtful food gift as we arrived late at night. Gorgeous setting, tranquil garden, quiet location close to dining options. A “hidden gem” indeed❤️❤️

No water day

I gave them a lower rating because that the water was shut off for a complete day in witch it ruins the fact that could not take a shower nor do any laundry although they did try to help by providing buckets for flushing the toilet I believe that if the water has been on ,it was for the most part close to 5 star rating

Unpleasant experience

Firstly meet with unpleasant situation- demand of ZAR1000 deposit- I have never had this anywhere in the world. I waited at the gate for a long time before they opened the gate and people were watching me waiting at the gate. The coffee maker does not work and leaked all over the counter. I got 1 small bottle of complimentary water on the first day When i left i was told by the SECURITY GUARD that i had to wait for him to check the room before he could let me leave the premises- can you believe this. This place is totally overrated and i will never stay there again.

Brilliant place.

After reading the previous reviews I decided to book up. It was the day before and I arrived early in the morning. The owners couldn't of done anymore, they got my room ready, upgraded me and generally looked after me so well. The room was spotless with everything you could possibly want, shower was powerful and as hot as you could want it, all heaters and electrics worked as they should. The pool was clean and the gardens immaculate. I felt secure but free to leave at any time and do as I please. The staff and owners were always about and couldn't do enough for me. Best accommodation I've stayed in for a very long time! It's worth a lot more than I paid and I shall certainly be returning here soon. Thank you again for the great stay.
