Fleur de Lys Weddings, Functions & Accommodation — Hotel in Maruleng Local Municipality

Fleur de Lys is probably fine if you just want a one-night stopover - it’s reasonably near the main attractions in the area. But four nights was too much. The swimming pool was tiny (no actual swimming possible) and filled with dead leaves and debris. They kept promising to clean it but it stayed dirty, along with peeling paint, and we couldn’t use it. My daughter and I each had a boma - cute and spacious - but my main light was broken and despite many requests, it wasn’t fixed (they actually tried just before we left but I was packing and said not to bother). The microwave was broken (although we did swap it for another); my window was cracked with loads of dead flies on the sills; the water didn’t drain from the shower and when I flushed the loo water rose through the shower plug hole. We complained about all these things but nothing was done by the owner. There was also a terrible smell from neighbouring farm (manure??) and loud agricultural machinery noise throughout the day.

We saw some cool stuff||The beds are perfectly decent and the hot water in the shower and sink is always good. No TV makes you appreciate being in "wild Africa". Definitely...

The self catering chalets are situated on a farm and are free standing so you don't get any neighbor noise. The chalets each have an en suite bathroom and king size beds. Beautifully decorated and so comfortable. They also have a tea / coffee facility in each room and a freestanding kitchen outside that is shared by the various visitors. The place has a bush veld feeling and sounds of various animals are heard throughout the day and night. The farm is big enough to ride bikes on or take a long walk. It is very safe and relaxing. The owners are very hospitable and...
