Oh my goodness! When I first saw this property on Booking.com, I thought it was too good to be true, I actually thought they may have used Photoshop to create the pictures to lure people🤣🤣 however, when I got there I was amazed that the place looked EVEN BETTER IN REALITY!!🥰 I was absolutely captivated from the moment I drove onto the premises. June and Chris were so welcoming. They welcomed me at the gate and took me on a tour around the house. The atmosphere of the place is so relaxing and refreshing. The view is breathtaking, and the house contains everything you need and more!! I teach English online to international students, so I really appreciated the stability of the WiFi. My family loved the place as much as I did and we all cannot wait to go back. The best part is that even on the morning of my checkout, June and Chris were just as welcoming as the day I checked in. 🤣 They came to check if my family and I slept well and ensured that our checkout process was smooth. They are the most humble hosts I have ever met. I highly recommend this property and will definitely be going back for my birthday in June.❤️🌹 Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful property with the world ❤️

Guys, this is the place to be for holidays, or just for business. if you love beauty and style, please patronize. Sold out 1,2, or 3. Ausi Lebo may God continue to bless you and everything you tough will turn to Gold. The service is exceptional 👌 👏 can you believe it was raining when we got there but she didn't wait for us but she came to fetch us from the parking area. We arrived very late but she was there waiting. I dont even want to bore you with the challenges that were there and resolved without frustrating their guests. That's why we should continue to patronize people who know what to do if things don't go according to plan. You guys are going far. We will surely come back with family because there's breakfast!, for those who like pap, there's things to cook. Patronize them and see for yourself .I rate you 110/100

    Bernadett was an attentive, friendly and responsive owner during our stay in Pantera lodge ❤️. The lodge was clean and very much comfy mainly during spring/summer time like now. Rustic, neat, and the best part was the very high thatched roof and side of the pool ... it gave the feelings of coolness of the forest indeed...

    Very charming cottage-like guesthouse surrounded by a well kept garden. Decorated with taste albeit simply. My room, set in a former stable, was quiet and very comfortable. The internet worked well. It all felt very cosy and private. Grateful for the tea, kettle, cups and courtesy snacks. I loved this place and would certainly go back!
