Our cabin had many stairs. To get to the swimming pool - many stairs. To get to the private beach - for me was impossible. They said it was 50m from the parking area. That was the longest 50m I have ever walked (+- 500m) Although the walk on the wooden boardwalk was pleasant, an insurmountable sand dune without stepping stones, walkway or even rope to pull on to help with the ascent, prevented me from reaching the sea. :( A handrail at the steps in the pool would also be appreciated. Otherwise very nice place. ##### Angela Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Hristo Feb 24, 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Hristo Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Rivermead](https://www.expedia.ca/Himeville-Hotels-Rivermead.h12834703.Hotel-Information) > > [The Farmhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Langebaan-Hotels-The-Farmhouse-Hotel.h2483665.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [aha The Rex Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Knysna-Hotels-Aha-The-Rex-Hotel.h2667751.Hotel-Information) > > [AppleBee Guest Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Grahamstown-Hotels-AppleBee-Guest-Cottages.h19791052.Hotel-Information) > > [Sani Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sani-Pass-Hotels-Sani-Mountain-Lodge.h36116080.Hotel-Information) > > [Nutmeg Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Howick-Hotels-Nutmeg-Guest-House.h14890929.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Esiweni Luxury Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-Esiweni-Luxury-Safari-Lodge.h33761660.Hotel-Information) > > [Periwinkle Grove Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Clarens-Hotels-Periwinkle-Grove-Cottage.h13128123.Hotel-Information) > > [Leopard Tree Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Lalapanzi-Guest-House.h18236837.Hotel-Information) > > [SpionKop Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-SpionKop-Lodge.h6273598.Hotel-Information) > > [Nkambeni Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Nkambeni-Safari-Camp.h2202798.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Sibaya Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hillhead-Hotels-Royal-Sibaya-Hotel.h19629214.Hotel-Information) > > [Thatchings Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Currys-Post-Hotels-Thatchings-Guest-House.h3808542.Hotel-Information) > > [33 The Bridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-33-The-Bridge-Resort.h38866374.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiara Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Clarens-Hotels-Kiara-Lodge.h1469372.Hotel-Information) > > [Seaside Apartment @ Perna Perna Umdloti](https://www.expedia.ca/Umdloti-Hotels-Perna-Perna-Umdloti.h69823538.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Chad Luxury Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Kleinmond-Hotels-Villa-Chad.h13128610.Hotel-Information) > > [Storms River Hotels At The Woods Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Storms-River-Hotels-At-The-Woods-Guest-House.h7737900.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverbend Chalets Self Catering](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-Riverbend-Chalets-Self-Catering.h45388238.Hotel-Information) > > [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Ledges Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jagersrust-Hotels-Ledges-Retreat.h31484582.Hotel-Information) > > [Alpha Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Broederstroom-Hotels-Alpha-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h44455214.Hotel-Information) > > [Zimbali Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballito-Hotels-Zimbali-Condo.h14730767.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosbok Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Phalaborwa-Hotels-Bosbok-Lodge.h36027048.Hotel-Information) > > [Marlin Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Marlin-Lodge.h6020379.Hotel-Information)
