    driveway gate opening/closing & locking maybe can be improved, or automated.

    self catering, therefore meals not included. neat, very spacious house, enough beds, clean sheets, clean towels, good kitchen utensils friendly host neat yard and back patio, braai facilities provided premises set far back from the road, therefore very quiet & peaceful and seemed to be very safe nice spacious clean garage for vehicle, or could have parked on the driveway , enough parking space.

    It might have been nice to have had WiFi.

    It was a really beautiful house. I loved that it was so spacious. I also appreciate that there was a gas stove so we could cook during load shedding. Wendy was so cool and so friendly.

    Nothing really.

    A rare modern gem in Howick. We were there for 2 nights for a wedding but wished we could have stayed longer. The house was spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Will definitely go back. The host, Wendy, was very helpful and made us feel right at home.

    Nothing at all

    The house is absolutely stunning!! The pictures don't do justice to this beautiful gem. It's in a peaceful location and Wendy was an absolute pleasure to speak to. She made us feel welcome from the start and her warm nature is truly something special. We checked in earlier than planned and she accommodated us. Will definitely be going back

    The house was cozy and neat. The owner was friendly and helped us out when we ran out of gas when we wanted to use the stove. Great location and the facilities were excellent. The fireplace was the icing on the cake 🍰 Overall a great experience

    The property was very modern and was spacious enough to have family and friends together (6 people) without ever feeling over-crowded at all. with all the load shedding in South Africa the Hosts were smart to install a gas stove and gas Braai (Barbeque). At no Point were we inconvenienced by anything during our stay. The most disappointing part of the stay is that we could not stay longer. we will definitely be going back to April house.

    The house is stunningly beautiful, very quiet and you feel at peace at the place. House had everything could have asked for, enough beds and bathrooms for our big crowd of 9. All rooms were very clean. House is nicely located to all amenities.

    Stunning house with well appointed but not over-the-top décor. Two of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms bringing the tally of bathrooms to three between the four bedrooms which is more than sufficient. The outdoor furniture makes it easy to enjoy the large garden. There is also a play area for children with a tree house. All of this plus the keen pricing makes it easy to recommend this property.

    The DSTV channels were blocked for a lot of the time we were there.

    This is a true home from home. Beautiful decor, spacious and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Wendy was a great host.

    The fact that the house is in a quiet neighborhood so we were forced to keep reminding ourselves to speak softly, which is hard cause we are such a loud group but all in all our stay was amazing.

    The house really exceeded all of our expectations, the pictures on the website really don't do it any justice. Also loved the fact that there were items in the house we could use and replace for e.g. Ice packs, wood for the fire place.

    I do think WiFi has become one of those things one can not do without. Most establishments offer it these days. Plus the TV, without having to pay extra for it. If we did have WiFi, then at least you have the option to log in with your own Netflix or whichever subscription.

    The house is very comfortable and spacious for a group of 8. We were 2 families, 4 adults, and 4 kids ranging from 11 to 17.

    The house needs a good clean. On arrival there were coke/coffee stains on floor. The lounge suites are dirty and had stains on..same with carpets. The shower's windows/glass in main on suite is VERY dirty. This could be a very nice place to stay if more care are given in upkeeping and cleaning.

    Our bed in main bedroom was very comfortable and we had a good nights rest. House is nice and big.
