This is a lovely looking house, nicely furnished with a well-equipped kitchen, but unfortunately we had a lot of problems, of which not all are mentioned here. Our host Mario said he would provide a cot and did not mention that there would costs for that. On arrival I asked about the cot and was told that he had forgotten about it, but that another guest had left a cot behind and we could use it without charge for 2 nights and then it would be picked up or we could rent it and pay R 150 per day, which is exorbitant. The house is listed as 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, sleeps 8. The 4th bedroom is not furnished as a bedroom, it has no closets and the sleeper couch is for 1 person. The 4th bathroom is a guest toilet, not a full bathroom. We booked this property for 2 weeks and all the closets except for 1 in the main bedroom were full. I had to personally remove all the contents of the closets and put the stuff in the garage so that we could hang up our clothes. There were no waste-paper baskets in the bedrooms or bathrooms and we had to regularly fix the flushers of the toilets downstairs. The door of the shower in the main bedroom did not close properly, which resulted in a very wet bathroom floor. The window in the lounge did not lock, so when we left the house we had to lock up all our valuables. The alarm when it went on, was really soft, so did not work either. On both sides of the property there was construction, so we were surrounded by builders and overlooked their outdoor toilet (8 meters away) from one of the bedrooms. I understand that this can happen but because we could not lock the house properly we did not feel that our belongings were safe when we were not there and we had little privacy when sitting in the garden. The pool went green, we had no proper instructions and no chemicals to keep the pool maintained. I suggest the owner leave some written instructions as to how to keep the pool properly maintained, especially with all the dust etc, from the construction work on both sides of the property. The worst thing that happened is that we ran out of electricity twice. The owner did not put enough electricity on the card and the second time when I tried to reach him about the problem, he did not answer his email/phone for 2 days. We went and bought elecricity ourselves and Mario said he would reimburse us the R200. However he has not done so and was also not at the check-out at the time agreed, so we left the house without personally handing over the keys and getting the R200 back. We were also not informed by the owner that there would be load-shedding in the area, so on Saturday...
