"Very poor and unprofessional, not worth the money at all."

When we got there it already seemed a bit low-class, we then entered the lodge at reception to book us in, the woman Magda then told us that we were a day early, we clearly had all our papers that set the dates. She then said after a while we shouldn't worry, everything is fine. She then booked us into Room 1, I will list points below that we were not happy with. The bathroom was not en suite as it was promised on the sheet, we had to use a bathroom that was across the hall, I was worried the whole way that someone else in the lodge was using the bathroom if I wanted to go in. The kettle didn't even have a plug near the table, we had to put the kettle on the floor where the only plug in the room was, my girlfriend also had to sit on the floor to do her hair. There isn't even a plug by the mirror. When we checked in the woman said there was not a TV as promised on the page. She then said she would plan to get one. We then waited in the room after unpacking our luggage, Magda then arrived with a TV and I helped them to mount the TV after a struggle. Right now I wanted to pack my things and just drive because it is so unprofessional and we didn't feel at home at all with the type of service we received. We walked there just to relax a bit and just get some air, we thought we'd go swimming. Guess what? The pool was grass green and just very dirty. It totally put us off and we were so looking forward to swimming. We then kept our hopes high and went to the reptile park. My becoming, I have never been so uncomfortable. Half of the snake cages' windows/glass were cracked. The spiders are kept in plastic drawers we didn't even open the drawers. There was one snake hanging dead from a branch. And the worst of all are the 3 m long crocodiles that are only fenced off with mesh wire. If they wanted to I have no doubt they will get through it. We felt so unsafe and uneasy that we got out of there in a hurry. We then make the difficult decision to stay because it was so expensive and I would lose a lot of money if we just went. The next morning was the breakfast, we then had to share a table with a family from another room. They don't have enough tables to give each room one. Again feeling so uncomfortable and awkward around the table with people we have never seen before. I was so angry. The view on the porch looks like someone's backyard, not a nice view at all. It was said on the website that there is undercover parking, although it is true there was not enough undercover parking for all the cars. I had to park my car outside in the sun. Nobody is Afrikaans like the website mentions. The pictures and marketing of the place is a bribe, if I could give them a score out of 10 it would be an honest 2. The place is not worth it, it was an absolute flop. We will never see the place again.
