Stornoway Lodge

This was my third stay at Stornoway, and unfortunately, it was not up to the standard I had come to expect from previous visits. While the staff was accommodating when our room door wouldn’t lock from the outside and quickly moved us to a different room, other aspects of the stay left much to be desired. The complimentary breakfast, which used to be a highlight, was very basic. Unfortunately, there was no coffee available as the coffee machine was broken, and no alternative, like instant coffee, was offered. Additionally, several items listed on the breakfast menu were unavailable despite being listed. Overall our stay did not meet my expectations based on previous visits.

I didn't give excellent because they need to provide a variety of options for breakfast, also include smart tv/tv box

Lodge buildings and surrounding facilities looks somewhat neglected and needs refurbishment. Jacuzzi room's privacy around the jacuzzi is not acceptable at all. Jacuzzi old and not working properly, no bubbles, only warm water which defeats the purpose. Room's bed mattress is hollow and slept through and needs replacement. Nearby road (Lanseria) is noisy with large trucks and traffic constantly disturbing the peace and quiet. Restaurant is expensive (two persons, R1100!). Friendly staff. The lake gives a nice ambience but smells bad at times. Room pricing is surpizingly affordable, so I guess you get what you pay for..
