Had a great stay, thanks. The rooms were made and cleaned every day, and the washing was done regularly, much appreciated.

Everything is perfect, rooms are excellent and service. One thing though, I was booked in room 41, if the shower head maybe change with other type, I think that will make showering perfect or enjoyable as the current head does not real regulate water well and due to the pressure of water, the showered water is painful when it gets to a body and is unbearable.

You will never go wrong with booking here. Clearly the staff has been well trained on hospitality and are such a pleasure to talk to. They helped in the torrential rains with huge umbrellas and didnt even care that they got wet, carried my bags and even catered vegan breakfast for me. I loved my stay. The only thing I could say was bad is that I couldnt stay for longer :-)

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!
