Grubby Outdoor living - 10 Tortelduif Street, RUSTENBURG

<p>My first impression upon arrival at the front gate did not inspire confidence, we were met by a sliding gate with a hand written cardboard sign on it, requesting that one call the guest house – no permanent signage, no automation and no proper security gate.</p> <p>We entered the premise and then drove around to the back where temporary parking was in the sand under the trees but again with no demarcated parking area and the whole area had a look of non- permanence about it.  </p> <p>The car park is at the rear of the  house and steps leading up to the house The steps overlook the pool and the Breakfast area and the outside ablutions and what looks like staff quarters all overlooking the pool area. </p> <p> </p> <p>We arrived early and staff were just ceaning up after breakfast , but the flies were everywhere.      </p> <p>The house states it has 12 Bedrooms and while it is a large house, it appears obvious that all internal space has been utilised to maximise guest rooms, thereby foregoing any internal space for separate toilets, and /or dining room and/or kitchen which are now all external appendices attached to the back of the house.</p> <p>The general feeling was that the place looked unkempt.</p> <p> The Duty Manager advised that he was newly appointed and I requested to speak to the Owner who I was informed was not present.</p> <p>We left the guest house and went into the local town and sought alternative accommodation.  </p> <p> </p> <p>We found alternative accomdation in town and requested to cancel our booking. </p> <p>Kindly note that this guest house policy is that it insists on payment in full before arrival and with a no refund policy</p>
