    Great stay!

    This is my 3rd time at this chalet, but my 6th time at Sondela. I love this chalet. It caters for large groups very well. Overall Sondela is an amazing escape from the city, but not too remote so that you have to worry about running out of groceries. Love Sondela and would buy a chalet if I was able to travel more often/had more leave.

    The inventory check list needs updating and the fridges needs to be serviced. It can do with a kettle braai, cause the fire pit is great....not so great if you have a massive braai (back will get sore from bending over) or if it is raining.

    Like home. Beds very comfortable. Everything you need and more. Owner did much more than expected to ensure left behind item was returned. Thank you very much!

    Better lights at braai area would help.
