We went there hoping to spend the day. Greeted by a friendly Big Guy. I asked can I go and see the place he agreed. Paid as I thought we would stay. Walked down and realised that we could not go down with our car, I came back and asked he said it wouldn’t be possible. My friend has back issues and we could not walk down the embankment. I then said to him it’s ok cancel and rather give my money back as we had just been there for less than 10mins. He tells me he can’t give me a refund of total amount as he gave me a band that we had not yet used. We paid R160 and were given back R100 for viewing the place. Bad service.

We paid a deposit for the special they were running, that included a boat ride and lunch that costs R499. Then they said it's a R1000 for a couple, that was still fine with us. With the rainy weather, the river is full so the boat rides are cancelled. They will give us the R80 back, and we can come have lunch. When we cancel they take R15% on the deposit. They did not say anything about the river being full while they were asking for the deposit few days back. It's been raining for two weeks. They should have stated that as a possibility while asking for the deposit. We cannot postpone as our guests will be traveling from the free State this weekend. Isn't this covered by their insurance? Why should we be charged for this?
