    My husband and I thoroughly loved the tranquility and scenery of the cottage we were staying in. The cottage was well maintained and clean..also to our delight, the DSTV subscription was for all channels, which was an entertainment bonus. We also enjoyed the fresh breakfast provided and turnover services in what we understood to be a self catering

    As a girl who loves being very neat and tidy I would love a bench or chair at the bottom of the bed to put my bags or clothes or cushions off the bed on when not being used

    Very clean and beautifully decorated. A lovely bush garden with lots of birds. If hot a nice pool with lovely fresh towels

    We went to Botswana to celebrate our 30yrs wedding anniversary. Cilla went out of her way to ensure that we enjoy our stay. The place was very clean and quiet. The view from the cottage was exceptional 👌. Fresh breakfast goodies were brought everyday 😋.

    The property is a good 30-40 minute drive from center of town, and is therefore not the most convenient location if you’re spending lots of time in town. It was an easy and direct route, but traffic and nightfall made it take longer, so factor that in and be sure to have your own vehicle if you stay here.

    We were absolutely delighted with this place. It fully met our needs for clean, comfortable accommodations with character. We loved the comfortable bed with fresh linens, the kitchen was very nicely appointed, and the shaded patio was a lovely place for breakfast and tea. The host was proactive and responsive, and we felt very comfortable for our 3 nights. We were able to comfortably make it down the road to our cottage in our Toyota Corolla, and the Mokolodi Nature Reserve/Bush Kitchen are nearby. It was simply perfect and a great value. We would absolutely book here again.

    Nothing to fault.

    The facility is easily accessible, the directions are easy to follow. Just outside Gaborone in a serene, unpolluted environment. The self check-in was seamless and the house manual clear. The cottage was sparkling clean, from the kitchen to the bathroom. The plunge pool also. I was blown away by the well equipped kitchen with good quality utensils. I also loved the breakfast. It was great and healthy. I definitely recommend 110%.

    Aloe is attached to staff rooms and they make a bit of noise in the early hours,running machines and throwing trash.The towels didn't look as clean,they were the only things that made us uncomfortable.

    I think the breakfast was good but recommend brown bread instead,or oats for those who those who don't take sweet things.The place us beautiful 😉

    It exceeded all expectations! Everything was perfect and worthy of a longer stay than one night. The care of a well stocked kitchen with food was a surprise. We were en route to the pans and delta and without doubt this is the BEST place to stay!

    They should work on their security measures, we had an incident where our alarm was triggered but we received no response.
