"It was not nice at all."

Upon our arrival we noticed that there were people at the pool using alcohol. People from the same group were also later spotted driving around the premises in a white Opel Corsa van while consuming alcohol. We noticed that the people at the pool were under the influence and as a result we were not comfortable taking our children to the pool area. So we didn't get any benefit from the pool and surrounding area. It was very hot. Neither of the two rooms we were allocated had a working air conditioner or fan. We had to drive to Hartebeespoort and buy one. One of the two rooms we stayed in had a very small fridge. The door of the small fridge is bent and it is leaking water on the floor. There was no control from Out of Africa Guesthouse management over the guests. The same group of people we mentioned above occupied the pool area late into the night, all the while consuming large volumes of alcohol. My wife and I slept in the "Honeymoon suite", which was located in the main complex near the pool area. We hardly slept. There was a party all night until sunrise the next morning. There were what looked to us like communal bathrooms in the main building. Some of the guests use these bathrooms without closing the door. On Christmas morning we got up and got ready for breakfast which would start at 9am. We walked into the lounge area, which was located right next to the dining area, around 8:45 AM to wait for breakfast. We couldn't sit anywhere as there were some of the other guests who had spent the night on the lounge sofas and were still lying there sleeping. There was no sign of the management anywhere and there was also no one at the reception so that one could report it. We noticed that the table was not prepared for breakfast and there were no staff present in the kitchen. There were only guests present. There was also no electricity. So my wife couldn't take care of her hair either. We find it hard to believe that a guest house does not have a generator as we all know in South Africa that we deal with load shedding and power outages on a regular basis. As a result of the above points, the situation at Out of Africa guest house became unbearable for us and we decided to return home. We loaded our luggage into our car and could not hand in the keys at reception as there was still no one present there. A man who introduced himself as Sterling walked up and asked if we needed anything. We told him that we wanted to leave the place and he took the keys from us. We don't know if he works on the premises, but he didn't ask at all why we wanted to leave the place, nor about our well-being. We are not at all happy with the service we received at Out of Africa Guest House.
