"“The Triton Experience”…
If you're expecting the peaceful, beautiful escape shown online, you have just as much chance of finding Narnia as you do finding those photos in real life.
DONT BE FOOLED BY THE PHOTOS.
These photos are taken from another dimention, during the last ice age or when dinosaurs still roamed the earth.
What I arrived to looked nothing like the pictures.
In my opinion, the place is damaged, neglected and misrepresented, and that's me being polite.
They do not have the amenities available as advertised!
And the road?
To call it a Road is ambitious.
Think obstacle course meets survival challenge without warning.
Its more like a 1.8km death trap disguised as a driveway.
If you don’t have a 4x4, a tow truck, a firefighting unit, first aid training and some good luck, you DO NOT stand a chance.
None of this was mentioned when booking, of course.
Instead of repairing the road, someone thought it was a brilliant idea to throw a thick layer of dried leaves to “fix” it.
Spoiler alert: They didn't. My car got stuck and caught on FIRE due to the dry leaves and heated engin.
Yes. Flames. Smoke. And a baby in the back seat.
After all that chaos, I didn't even get to stay there because I couldnt get to the lodge.
I had to find emergency accommodation elsewhere. And when I asked for a refund?
All I received was excuses.
NO REFUND, NO FEEDBACK
My advice: Book somewhere else....
