We loved the setting and Houtkapperspoort is a beautiful site and ideal for family holidays. We used the pool and the tennis court daily.
Stinkwood cottage is well situated within the park . The cottage needs a deep clean including all skirtings and cupboards ; some general maintenance and regular inspections by the owner .
We dealt with the property manager who was very helpful and attended to our issues promptly - these included asking for a vacuum cleaner as the one in the cottage was broken, fixing a toilet seat , a leak in the upstairs roof and attending to a leak under the kitchen sink. The shower upstairs has deep mould in the surrounds and needs attention. There is no safe in the cottage and we expected that this is fairly standard at this price level.
There is probably a leak from the upstairs bathroom into the ceiling of the downstairs bathroom as the wood is damaged and the paint is coming off - the downstairs bathroom walls could do with a coat of water resistant paint.
the above points are provided as suggestions to improve the accommodation and to prevent further damage. We loved our stay and would like to return - but would like to know that some of these basic standards have improved.
