    The staff were so friendly and helpful. They helped organize a birthday surprise, breakfast in bed and flowers, for my girlfriend with so much enthusiasm. The property itself is beautiful and lovely and peaceful. The location is perfect as it is close to Stellenbosch and wine farms. Being on solar meant there was no load shedding which feels like a luxury. 10/10!
