We were last here about 7 years ago. The place is a shadow of its former self. The chalets and facilities are usable but in an obvious state of disrepair. We stayed in a 2 bedroom chalet that sleeps 6. The kitchen is well appointed. The bathroom has been upgraded to have a shower and no bath. The TV in the main bedroom had been removed leaving behind its bracket and cords. Everything looked well used. It's a 3 out of 5 for cleanliness although the units are cleaned daily in the afternoon. Linen smelled damp. Towels are changed weekly. The property is located on a slope so facilities are difficult to get to including the parking. The pool is relatively well maintained but the stairs to get there are perilous. I had a moment of suspended horror as my 4 year slipped on the top step of the steep flight of stairs leading down to it. The jungle gym is barely usable. Trampoline is cordoned off. There is a spa that I did not try. There are swing benches scattered throughout the property that offer lovely views of the ocean. Staff are friendly. It is a short drive to ballito which was the saving grace for our stay. We were told that it's a 10 minute walk to the beach but opted to drive there All in all, not a complete disaster but not a place I would come to again.
