- On arrival we were shown the R500 p.p. room.(breakfast and supper) But we were met with an extreme foal raw sewer smell, to such an extent that we had to flee the room. As soon as the wind changed the smell shifted, We had no hot water and we went to one of the other bathrooms just to be met without hotwater again. For R500 per person per day, the occomadation is not worth the money. However, their food was pretty good and bar was not expensive. the view is fantastic. We booked out the next day and found other occomadation for R550 p.p two meals in a three star accomadation, great service, hotwater and 5 course meal, which was money well spent. Sanipass top challet is a a great place for back packers, as you will get what you pay for.

- I belief for the Rate that they can do a bit better - very far from 5 star!! . We were 5 couples and only 1 chalet had warm water - some problem with the geyser or gas or water supply?? no-one is sure. One of the chalets had a gas leak when we arrived which we couldn'd used. All issues that can be maintained very easy. The bar is nice and food ok. The experiance was still nice. "They will most properly improve when the fist oposition arrive on the mountain".

- People, this is not a 5star Hotel. You are in the "bush" in the "wild" . You are "outthere". Play it as it lays...its called an adventure
