The stay at Cyrildene Lodge was just average and didn’t live up to my expectations. Upon arrival, we were met with minimal assistance since we paid online—this seemed to be a point of friction for the staff, leaving us waiting without much support. The room was clean but nothing remarkable—basic furnishings with no real character. We had to ask for toiletries, as none were provided upon check-in, which felt like an oversight. Also, the DSTV service wasn’t activated, so we couldn’t enjoy our usual TV entertainment unless we arranged it separately. While the location is decent and the price was reasonable, the lack of attention to detail and basic guest needs made the experience underwhelming. Not something I’d recommend unless you’re looking for a no-frills, budget option.
