The facility was clean and the place was easy to find. Mpumi the host was extremely kind and easy to reach telephonically. Good value for money. I'd definitely recommend her place to friends and family. Oh and we didn't experience any loadshedding! :-)

There aren't any near food facilities around

It was a clean and spacious apartment. It had dstv as well, which was a plus. There was definitely a lot more to be desired. There were not many other positives during our stay.

Things are always what they seem to be! This was the case for the room we were assigned for our stay at the Blyde Crystal Lagoon. The room was very spacious - the living room area - for a one-bedroom apartment. However, there were certain amenities you would expect to find/work that was not evident in this room. For starters, in the winter of South Africa, the rooms do not have central air or a heating system built in, so what does the property do, they provide a portable heater. In our case, the heater was extremely small, and inoperational as the plug that would fit into the outlet of the wall was missing. To alleviate this issue, one might say: I will take a hot shower to warm myself up. This was not an option during our stay as the water never reached a temperature more than lukewarm in both the shower and sink faucet. The stove in the kitchen did not nor did the microwave, so we could not prepare any of the food we had bought, which caused us to waste the food because we couldn't cook any of it. Overall, I would not go as far as to say that this property advertising is deceptive, but it does leave a lot of questions to be asked and a lot to be desired based on what is advertised. Additionally, if you are planning on staying here, I would recommend renting a car. It is rather troublesome to get taxis and Uber to come into the property due to the security, and many of the Uber drivers we requested simply refused to try to venture inside the property, which led us to have to walk to the gate to meet them on several occasions.
