    Breathtaking view and gorgeous garden. Easy access to the lake and charming old farm house with lots of antiques, typical of the area. Ahead of time hosts were extremely accommodating and responsive regarding extra guests and pets.

    Fabulous location, real farm, easy parking, private entrance to unit which is private with braai just outside the door. Gas stove worked well, we even used the oven, bed was firm and amazingly comfortable. Les was super welcoming and friendly. Beautiful view over the valley with the lovely sounds of a train passing by once in a while.
