Richard and Marja
Solitude on Somerset ..... so peaceful and quiet. It is the ideal property to spend a few days relaxing and getting away from it all ... and forget about 'load shedding here'! We are the pet friendly property of choice!
Richard and Marja have traveled extensive and love hearing of new travel destinations, and reminiscing those gone by!
Bathurst as a village is small, quaint and quirky! There is a surprizing amount to see an do in Bathurst and the surrounds.
