Rhemardo
Location:
On the outskirts of the Waterberg
area approx. 90km’s north of Bela-Bela(Warmbaths) The nearest town of Mookgopong
has all essentials Banks, petrol stations and a variety of
Grocerie shops, where you can get everything you need.
Getting there:
Well tarred tolled roads, dual
lane makes for a very relaxed drive up. The trip from Northern JHB of about
220km took us just over 2hrs, without any major traffic issues on a busy
weekend.
Privacy:
A very close knit resort. The accommodation
options ranged from camping spot to chalets. Our outside sitting area where we
spent most of the time was closed off but foot traffic to and from the pool as
well as hikers and children playing, we were easily exposed. However never became
a nuisance.
Unit:
Our chalet was petite and
consisted of one bathroom, two bedrooms and two single beds in the TV are. A
Well equipped kitchen and a large external braai area with a covered section
which was great for sitting around entertaining.
Kitchen:
Fully equipped with all plates
bots pans cutlery required. A medium to large fridge with small freezer,
Kettle, Old 4 plate stove oven combo unit and Microwave.
Bedroom &Beds:
The rooms were cosy and had ceiling
fans for the warmer days. The main room had a double bed and a nice view. (We
were on the outskirts so do not expect a view other than other units or pool
areas from any of the rooms.) The second room had two single beds and that
window on looked another unit. The two single beds were immovable unfortunately
and had to remain as singles. The beds were comfy and had many extra blankets
and pillows. The last two other beds were in the TV area with no privacy, and
are ideal for children.
Bathroom:
A small bathroom with Toilet,
Basin and combo bath shower was no problem at all. We did manage to break the
hot water tap. But almost immediately after reporting it someone was sent to
fix it.
Parking:
Our units didn’t have specific
parking bays but more than enough space was available and shaded by trees. All
parking was open but safety was never a concern
Service:
Service was excellent and very accommodating
and friendly.
Food/Restaurant:
There is a restaurant available.
Family Rating:
This is a great place to bring
young adventurous children as they can run around safely out of harms way.
There is a lot to do at this resort including Hot pools, Jacuzzi and sauna Warm
pools, slide and Putt-putt. Some activities mentioned are only available at an
extra cost
Conclusion:
A very pleasant family holiday
resort for a long weekend. It allows the children explore on their own terms
whilst giving the parents a chance to relax with peace of mind.
TIPS:
1.Have a break and book a
Jacuzzi, (number 4 was the best in my oppion)
2.Visit SPIF chicken for a pleasant breakfast and some good value chicken and homemade products
