We aborted our stay at Cape Vidal a couple of hours after we arrived because of the appalling condition of the cabin we were assigned to. We arrived late afternoon and at first glance the place looked run-down and dirty but we decided to give it a go. It was only once we started cooking food and really looking around us that we realized how filthy the place was. Nothing a good scrub with handy Andy and some sandpaper will not fix (if you cared to keep the place in a reasonable condition), but seriously not a place you want to cook and eat in – you might actually get listeria or something. There is a fine line between rustic and just plain filthy. This cabin unfortunately is the latter. Bad workmanship (just painting over plug fittings, putting things on back to front etc), a build-up of years of dirt (cupboard doors, stove knobs, tables and chairs .. the list goes on), fresh dirt (who wants to eat on a placemat with the previous tenants food on it?) tells me that the people running this place have no problem charging a premium fee but are not willing to do proper upkeep and cleaning. I am sorry, but for a fee of R 2000 per evening we expected better. The price is an indication of the standard you can expect. In this case we got a R 300 per not standard for a 2k fee.
