    What a beautiful cottage in a lovely Game Reserve!! The cottage is very cosy and well equipped, tastefully decorated and has a view into the reserve, Giraffe and Impala to be seen from the deck. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain and were unable to see every corner of the reserve, but the cottage was our retreat and the rest we ´ll do next time as we would like to go again. Thanks to Johan and Andre for pulling our vehicle out of the mud, you were extremely helpful.
