When we arrived they had only booked us down for 1 guest. The lady who booked us in was not very friendly or welcoming. Once we got our key there was no more human interaction until the lovely ladies serving us breakfast. Nothing was explained to use in terms of how to get in and out of the gate or how breakfast works in the morning. In the rooms, there was only coffee and sugar, no milk or tea. The walls are so thin you can hear when the people next door use their bathroom and there was a cold draught coming from the window.

I should preface this by saying that I, in fact, never got to stay at this establishment at all.Upon arrival, I was greeted by a lady who informed me that it was 'overbooked', despite the fact that I had in fact booked (and payed) days before. I was sent down the road to Warrens Guest House, which is a star short of Fawncastle. In essence, I payed a four-star rate for three-star lodging. All this without even an explanation or a heads up from the manager, Rob. You would think that a customer who booked and payed in advance would - at the very least - be notified before arriving at the establis...

Upon arriving at fawncastle  estate, we were told booking was made for us at White House guest house a few streets across the road. No reason was provided as to why do we have to sleep at another guest house. White House guest house was below the standard. The decor, the bedding, the awful smell in the room as well as unclean bathroom.I'm not happy with Fawncastle at all for the awful experience I had in Kzn.

really enjoyed our stay at FawnCastle very much,it was a home away from home. What I liked most is the healthy environment there. We also enjoyed the breakfast we had more especially the English breakfast. Not forgetting to mention the way the helpers treated us, with respect. I hope to stay again at FawnCastle one day. Thanx.
