My eldest daughter left a note in the unit for it to get sorted out, but please forward RP, as I like that particular EH5 unit and will be back there in July, but hopefully without bats.

Maybe something you have already realised is that children younger than 10 years can pick up sound of bats moving while we do not hear anything. My LO was always talking about sounds he is hearing in the sealing until one day when we had to take out a burst geyser breaking the damage sealing the bats came out that night.

As you say the bats can go ( ) but to pay nearly R2000 for the chalet in that condition is a disgrace.

So even if we did decide to go back to the unit at Biyamiti that was photographed by me in January this year it would cost R12 635,00 in low season for 4 people for a week, whereas my levy for a week in a river fronting unit at Ngwenya for the same period is R3 893,29 and this is for 6 people. I just don't think Sanparks realises the severity of the problem and that people are going to do the simple maths and more and more will start staying outside the Park.

That's a huge difference Penny!

Olifants hut #8 kitchen cupboard doors sagging , shelf under sink sagging , abandoned bricks under tree behind unit ...

Any pics and dates, serval? Don't know what "sagging" means?

No photos taken , hutted accomodation does not warrant the usage of camera battery power in my opinion .

The kitchen cupboard doors do not line up correctly , it seems the hinges are no longer secure .
The shelf under the sink appears to have been loaded above its design capacity , perhaps this is due to it having been continually wet as the result of a water leak , it has assumed a concave profile instead of the originally intended straight horizontal profile .

Thanks!


Olifants is my worst client, unfortunately...

Will forward!

Got a semi-reply, serval...but no details yet...

incredible to let all these units without any maintenance, is a waste of money

When travelling to Numbi Gate on the R40 there is a sign to turn onto the R538, thereafter there are no more signs to the gate. We ended up in Hazyview and had to enter at Phabeni. Apparently the sign was taken down during the strikes over a year ago.

I don't know if this is SANParks' problem or the local municipality's but surely it is in Kruger's interest to have that sign put up again?
