    Like all other reviews the area might seem a bit sketchy but it really was not! We felt really safe all the way!

    We loved the rooms, and how neat it was! Also super cozy for the cold weather! The hosts were amazing!! Loved the bathroom!

    The area seemed a little risky but turned out to be very quiet. The road muddy after thr recent rains. This was however outweighed by the comfy stay at the residence.

    We were greeted friendly on arrival and the room was clean, spacious and compfortable. Our stay was pleasant and we had a great rest.

    Access road is gravel, though short, but it got potholes, not pleasant. The outside of the lodge is still work-in progress

    The facility manager received us with love and showed good customer service when he explained a few things to us. The place is super clean, spacious bathroom, modern bathtub and shower, fast WiFi,etc. This is going to be my regular spot. I enjoyed my stay. Thank you babe Dube!!!

    The roads to get to the house from the highway were not in great condition however not a big issue

    Faith and her partner are lovely hosts and very welcoming. The room was extremely spacious and very luxurious. The breakfast was also huge and very tasty so i would also recommend ordering that for your morning too. Glad i arrived reasonably early to have some time to enjoy the comforts

    The location of it is a bid bad and does not make you feel safe.

    The room is what they advertise and it is exceptional clean and modern. The décor is lovely. The bathroom is so modern and the bath tub something special. We loved the room and everything inside it. Thanks to the owner.
