Rather book elsewhere by

The owners were friendly and accommodating- they gave us a private flat rather than the backpackers we booked for which was highly appreciated. The scenery is beautiful and serene.
However, the buildings have been really neglected. Once we settled in we saw the mould on the bathroom ceiling, the curtains to one of the bedrooms didn't close at all, the grid of the braai was absolutely filthy, the power kept tripping the last night we spent there (even after switching off the geyser as the owners said), the water was lukewarm at best when the geyser worked, litter was not picked up from other guests, and the motorised gate to the entrance of the property didn't work and was manual.
Within 20 minutes of arriving the unit was showed to potential tenants without asking. This was frustrating as we had just unpacked personal valuable items, and since the gate wasn't functional and there was no additional security, we did not sleep well at all.

To confirm the payment of the outstanding amount prior to arrival we emailed the owners and called several times without receiving a response. When we got hold of him a week before arriving (we booked a month in advance) he didn't give a definite response until given an ultimatum of cash on arrival or EFT. We opted for cash on arrival. We then asked the owner several times for a receipt but never received one, despite several promises of delivering one to us the next day.

Tharfield Estate has great potential due to its natural setting and central location, but needs a lot of TLC. We would definitely not recommend staying here at this stage.
