Could have been ok but such bad management by

First everyone should read the "special deal" section on the right side of the page as it is THE ONLY PLACE where the owners are mentioning that if you come to Amarola after hours, you then need to collect the keys at another location and will have to pay an extra R75.
We left Joburg after work, got to Clarens it was pitch black went straight to the "cottage" (more a cluster than a cottage) - couldn't find the place. End up calling the owner who kept on mentioning a form with details on how to proceed after hours and that we had to go to "Clarens Destination" a shop to find a number to call a lady that would come and give us the key. We struggled to find the place as they were no lights, finally managed to find the phone number called the lady who we waited for 10-15 minutes. Lady comes in gives us the key and now ask us for R75. The owner kept on telling us that it was not his fault that we couldn't read booking confirmation and website. The after hour process is NEVER mentioned on the booking confirmation and EXCUSE ME Mr owner for not ready the "Special Deal" on the right side. Your special deals start with R100 for kids under 18 - guess what I don't have kids so I didn't think I had to read further. Instructions on after hours shouldn't be part of "special deal". 
You were rude over the phone and I found it unacceptable. I will not recommend your cluster to anyone. 
Bathroom was old with plastic shower curtains, the complimentary toiletries were only half a bottle of body lotion (wow!), the creamer for the coffee was in an open bag on the top shelf, no tea bags in the box, the king bed is two single beds.

Establishment Response:

Eachguest receives key collection instructions in form of a word document by emailupon payment for booking. This information is also posted on the website.

Thisdetails after hours collection fee of R75 (Call out fee should you arrive inthe early hours, which is paid to agency and not the owners), and states that shouldyou wish to collect after hours, prior arrangement should be made.

Youdo not have to collect from a different location, just arrange prior, and keyswill be waiting at same location.

Thiswas clearly stated. The owners graciously offered to pay the R75 fee for theguest and did so.

Theguest failed to read the information provided on the website and by email priorto their arrival, and consequently failed to make prior arrangements for verylate key collection.

Withregards to guests not finding their way, GPS co-ordinates as well as physicaladdress are provided both on website and on correspondence sent out postbooking, for both the unit and the office where keys are collected.

clean ,lovely interior, not walking distance from town centre though. Good value for money.

a warm bed for the crispy nights by

A lovely place to stay - basically one large bedroom with an upstairs loft for another bed. Very small kitchenette, and adequate bathroom. A bit 'thin' on self-catering amenities. But a lovely weekend spot.

Loved it, Will never stay anywhere else in Clarens by

Amarola is very luxurious and offers a lot more than you would expect for your money. Blankets, linen, towels, soaps, all five star as well as furniture, so much more than we expected.We come often to Clarens and will ONLY stay at Amarola!!!!

So Beautiful, best quality,Value for money by

I am a regular in Clarens and LOVE AMAROLA!!! Value for money and superior to anything ive stayed in in Clarens. I will only stay at Amarola moving forward!!!!

Goldengate National Park by

Beds, bedding,towels of an excellent quality, very comfortable however stove not adequate for cooking cannot use two pots or pans at once, does not fit. Does not have dstv full package as advertised, Cupboards also used for other storage, red throw on double bed on loft was stained, tap in kitchen leaking, and had difficulty in arranging drop off of keys and caused delay in us leaving. Extra bedding would be welcome gets cold d in Clarens. Accommodation is fine for a weekend. Further the two sites advertising the accommodation needs to be updated, the premises and items not as advertised.I.e. Two tv's, dstv full package and a couch And PlayStation 2,( ad with where to stay) but could only book through safari now.

who keeps a feather duster and spade for dirt in a clothing cupboard. The unit next to the fridge is absolutely dirty. The patio is dirty.. the blankets are definitely not Swiss like you said...the blankets here my maid won't even use it. I'm disgusted truly.has insulted me greatly by getting this accommodation The wall in the loft had a huge brown dirt mark that we actually think is shit...sorry for the use of word but I don't know how else to tell you. My husband had to take paper towels to wipe it off and my children refuse to sleep there. I have to reiterate to you that my home is not only very big but absolutely clean and 5 star. I extend an offer to you to visit my home.
