    Location was perfect. Out of the way but not too far that we couldn't access all the facilities we needed. Hosts were amazing and so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We were treated like family and were sad to leave. I would recommend them very highly, you won't be disappointed. Just hope the rest of our trip meets these high standards.

    Nothing to do with the property but the road outside is a little rough well we thought so until we got to Kruger!!

    Great location and the rooms are in a lovely setting. The outside shower was great idea and the rooms well equipped and clean and comfortable. Highlight is your wonderful hosts who are super friendly very welcoming and make you feel relaxed and at home. Garden is a great place to chill and relax if you have just come off a long flight!

    Unfortunately we do have back and hip problems, so one must take that in account, but our bed were a little bit uncomfortable.

    The hosts, they go out of their way to assist, help and make your stay as pleasant as possible. The shower is excellent! Their food is delicious!

    Nothing

    We had the most incredible stay at this lovely establishment❤️ Susan and her hubby are the sweetest people and really went above and beyond for us. We felt like we were home and honestly didn't really want to leave. The fluffy omlette we had for breakfast was to die for and the beds.. Wow.. Possibly the best night's sleep I have had in awhile and that was a general feeling between all of our group who stayed. Waking up to birds chirping and fresh air was exactly what we needed. Susan made sure we had hot water even during loadshedding by boiling us water on gas and delivering it in a flask to our room, we also had rechargeable lamps during load shedding that really made a huge difference. Susan.. We are so grateful for you and your kindness! My only complaint is that we don't live closer so we could visit more often 😢

    The road getting there is rather bad but it didn't bother us, would just recommend to people in very low cars to be careful.

    The accommodation was relaxing and in general was a amazing experience, Susan will go out of her way to make sure you are comfortable.

    There was nothing that really dissatisfied me. Shower was a bit problematic and that was immediately sorted.

    The cosy setting and idyllic surrounds, was food for the soul. No disturbances whatsoever. The host was most gracious and helpful. An ideal getaway for those wanting to get rid of stress in their lives. Loved the ethnic decor that blended so well with the environment.
