    You cant forget anything because the shops are a bit far especially because of the Gravel road. Besides that everything else is fantastic.

    The views and the serenity of the place was fantastic. The cleanliness and the atmosphere of the place was lovely. The pool area and the fire pit is easily accessible.

    Although the start to the weekend was not ideal, it was a great relaxing and comfortable stay

    We did not receive directions prior to our departure which ended up in a 1h30 detour as following Google Maps takes you to the incorrect location. We eventually called the booking host (Susan White) and she then only sent the directions which clearly states not to follow Google Maps. We should have received this info prior or immediately upon making the booking. It should be stated in the Booking.com confirmation. This was extremely frustrating as we drove for over an hour on a dirt road with a toddler and baby which resulted in us arriving 1h30 later than expected (as per Google Maps). Once we arrived, we needed to get dinner going and there were no firelighters to start the fire so we had to unpack the car and try and make another plan to get the kids fed and braai started which resulted in dinner being served much later than expected too and very unhappy kids. Arriving for a weekend away is supposed to be relaxing not stressful. The house also needs some general maintenance. The guest rooms (next to the kitchen) need maintenance. The runners on the doors which open up to the patio are worn which makes opening and closing the doors very difficult. The shower on that side does not spray well (again maintenance required). There was no toilet paper in the guest loo. There were lipstick marks on a few of the cups.

    The house was lovely

    The house was still being worked on on the outside, there was danger tape on most areas outside. When we arrived we thought we were at the wrong house because of the open hole and plumbing work that was being done outside by the entrance of the house and outside when you go to room 3 and 4. It was a bit unsafe because we have a two year old curious daughter. All the main attractions of the house were magnificent.

    We enjoyed everything about the house, especially the outside showers at night. Inside the house is very inviting and you wouldn't want to leave. The weather was perfect, so we had all our meals outside by the patio near the swimming pool.

    Boma could be a bit more cozy - all the rest was perfect

    Clean, spacious, remote location/privacy, kitchen, very nice game reserve suitable for own walking safaris or even mountain bikes. Also very quiet - therefore restful and relaxing.

    There was broken glass and cigarette stomps around the pool that were not cleaned, I guess from previous guests, which the kids could've missed because of excitement. Bathrooms need a bit of maintenance, which I have already shared with the host.

    It's a beautiful home with a splashpool, which the kids enjoyed. Lovely quiet stay for the family and got to spot many animals. Our favorite were the giraffes.

    The lack of cell phone reception and internet was a bit of a down (but this is not the fault of the owners of the place).

    Great property. Very clean and in a beautiful nature estate.

    The dirt road to the lodge was less pleasant. An ice maker in the villa will be a bonus as one cannot buy ice on the premises. Another big fridge would be nice to have especially during hotter months and with a full house. Could not use garage, alternative form of shaded parking would've been nice.

    Being in the bush, away from the hussle and bussle of the city. Weak cell reception was good thing as we could spend some quality time together as a family. Dishwasher and washing machine are a bonus. Beds were very comfortable. Some maintenance is needed, but this did not influence our stay negatively. The sparkling pool was our lifesaver to escape the heat, as were the airconditioners in all the rooms.

    The place needs to be fumigated at least once a month. Yes its in thd bush but some things like spider webs 🕸 and ants to name a few shows that its not been cleaned properly. The fridge wasn't working properly, the lights on the passage towards the bedrooms on both sides were not working

    Animals, pool and the house it self
