Definitely not a retreat, unhealthy
Very disappointed with property. Advertised as a retreat, container with bedroom/bathroom had beautiful decor and comfortable, however quite musty and rubbish was not emptied and shower quite clearly not cleaned. Other container had kitchen/living area, smelt terribly of dog, curtain by kitchen had significant black mould, microwave and bench unclean, couch and chair are dirty. Outdoor area was filthy, not swept or wiped for guests comfort, rubbish bin extremely dirty. Situated next to their multiple big dogs. We did take a non shedding and non smelling little maltese, we left feeling unclean. Sadly we had to stay for 3 nights as no other accommodation in Alexandra due to tournaments held of which we were involved.

Enjoyed our time there!
The host came outside and welcomed us as soon as we drove up. The next morning, she introduced us to all the animals, which we really enjoyed. We took a couple of walks along the neighborhood’s quiet country lane while we were there. A very peaceful setting and welcoming vibe.

Animal friendly short stay
Has everything you need for a short stay with the benefit of being happy to have our pup along. The accommodation space is only small, but functional. Close to both the river and dam for swimming when it's hot.

Disappointing
It would have probably been better had it not been pouring with rain when we arrived. We expected the two containers to be connected, which they weren’t, so we had to go outside to go between the two, and the bedroom one smelled musty. However it was very well equipped with everything to make our stay comfortable, just needs a bit of TLC.

Compact get away
We chose it because it allowed us to bring our dogs with us rather than have them in a kennel. That was the major selling point for us. We could have had a larger room in a motel room in town for the same price, but then we would have had to book the dogs into a kennel. We liked the fact that we were a wee way out of town. We will be back.

Perfect spot
Tiny bach with everything you need. Good bed, great shower, comfortable sofa, kitchenette plus an enclosed yard for the dog. Right on the rail trail was a bonus . Nice hosts. I would highly recommend this place .
