    Super private, you can't see anyone, no one sees you. The place is kitted out and quite luxurious and rustic. I loved everything about this place, it's well thought out, hidden, and convenient. We could hear owls at night and fish eagles in the day. The stars out here are breathtaking. It's so quiet and self-contained. The braai area is really quite lovely. Suitable for a couple.

    EXCEPTIONAL STAY. We are still in awe of this wonderful place, it was above perfect in all aspects. The location is literally what dreams are made of: direct views over the canal, reflecting the sunlight at day and the blinking residential lights at night, super central and right next to all restaurants and main docks and the bridge to Tessen - but at the same time extremely quiet and peaceful. We had the most unforgettable time there, will definitely go back!

    It was an amazing experience. The staff is very helpful and proactive. We had a free upgrade from a King room to Luxury Villa on the lake. There was such a beautiful view from the bedroom; very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was also great, with a big variety of food. The location was also great and easy to access by car.
