La Dolce Vita Guest House

The staff's exceptional friendliness and helpfulness, along with the breathtaking views near the river, make for a convenient stay. However, no specific disadvantages were mentioned in the reviews.

Decent view, disappointing stay Detail: I don't normally leave reviews but if I can help someone out, I hope this is it. Make sure to CALL BEFORE you book online and confirm if there is water. It is a basic human need but yeah, no water in the area during our 3 days there. It ruined the weekend but the staff could not do much. Fault should be placed on the owners to make sufficient back up plans for their Paying staff. Room: We stayed in their honeymoon suite and i can vouch for the view, its amazing, the property sits on a hillside overlooking the dam, so pleasant view and decent manicured lawn, but that along with the friendly staff is where the positives end. Facilities: The property does need a lot of maintenance, could be mistaken for an intentional raustic look, but no, its just old. The walk to the room is through a musty dusty attic type setup and can get very stuffy as air does not circulate. The room has old furniture and the suite has two single beds combined as opposed to a Queen or King (not very romantic). Dstv worked, could watch the EPL and aircon was ok (would suggest closing windows early before insects get in). Cleanliness: The pool was also dirty, given the lack of water, clean pool water could have helped but nope, thats not properly maintained either. During our stay the room was cleaned and I assume towels changed. Safety: Estate appear safe (you get put off by the shacks along street along route to estate) In summary call to make sure there is water!
