If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxed getaway then Gecko Inn is the place to go. With friendly, warm, professional staff who are willing to help with just about ANYTHING, to clean rooms and the most efficient service ever, our holiday was nothing short of amazing. The rooms, braai stands, seating areas, pools etc are cleaned daily and is very well maintained. There is not a single thing to fault this resort on as everything is so on point. Real value for money and nothing short of the perfect holiday resort. Well done Gecko Inn, amazing resort, warm, smiley faces always, professional and excellent service. We will certainly be back soon. #OurNewFavouritePlace

Overall very good, but the rooms are not very sound proof, so one can hear everything going on next door or even across parking rooms! When we stayed there we had guests that were very noisy and partied straight through the night. Reported it to reception which helped a little but not really! Rooms and food very nice. Staff overall very friendly except for a rude barman that were not friendly, demanded car keys or immediate payment, without explaining!

The place was good very clean Just the aircorn was not working properly And the outside airborne fan had a bad loud noise and also the food takes long after you have ordered. Apart from that the place is beautiful and clean.

Great place. As an international tourist I do not like being charged 2000zar and asked for banking
details for a property damage deposit. Especially with a 7 day turn around.
In other words 6 other nights of guests stay in the room and what prevents me from being charged for something they did??
And it is just too risky for me to give banking details as a tourist.
Other wise stay was nice.

Overall very good. Mostly kitchenette type rooms. Not totally practical for space. Had a huge bathroom that was very clean and appeared almost new. Not well prepared for my kid. Through a mattress on the floor. It worked but was not ideal. No couches or actual beds to add. Make sure you get a double bedroom. Breakfast was very good and lots of good options. Would stay there again but be careful of getting a luxury room and thinking you'll have a couch or extra bed to be brought in for your kid. Would recommend and stay there again.

Schitterend verblijf, super vriendelijk personeel, heel lekkere maaltijden. Ruime kamers, zeer goed onderhoud. Eigen shuttle, vlot bereikbaar, ik vermoed zeer kindvriendelijk ( zwembajes ) Kortom een schitterend verblijf. Door omstandigheden daar beland maar extra goed opgevangen en verwend. Alle lof
