    Absolutely everything was fantastic

    The property is a few kilometers from Waterfront in the middle of the forest. It’s inside a secure gated complex. The view around is fabulous and quite. The property is furnished beautifully. We really enjoyed the stay being so close to the nature. I would highly recommend this property.

    The small attentions to detail. The unit had way more to offer than what we could have asked for, or expected, like a ice machine, various sizes French press coffee makers, fire wood and gas fire starter...

    There was nothing to dislike. The communication via Greg and Lauren was super awesome, excellent, warm service. Piece of heaven the place. During our stay...I felt that God is still going to bless Greg with more new blessings ..the owner. Laura is a warm person..God bless you...I pray that everything will fall into place for her and her family. We were in an unknown area for the first time but you made us feel so welcome and safe. The booking from the beginning was so professional and on point. Much appreciated. I immediately started to advertise the place to our company and friends. My friend came over for dinner the Saturday and they were swept away by the awesomeness of the place.

    Really enjoyed the peace in the area, the hoese was super clean and comfortable. Awesome view.

    Very comfortable property & the hosts' communication was excellent. Would gladly stay here again. We also had electricity during loadshedding which is a big up! Well done on the wine glasses, great to see a proper wine glass in a rental property as well. The fire wood & fire places were great too! Only compliments from our group!

    If you’re someone who has high standards of cleanliness the following will be very tough for you!- The bedding had stains on them, we opted to just wash them ourselves. The showers were absolutely disgusting with black slimly mould in the corners and the actual floor of the shower was soooo dirty and still had other guests hair on the shower floor. Like I said, we are extremely hygiene aware so this is very important to us, however we just scrubbed the place down ourselves including kitchen area.

    it’s very spacious and makes you feel right at home. Very equipped with everything you might need

    Not a deal breaker, but just to have additional kitchen cloths would be a great add on.

    This is the second time we are staying at this property and had a wonderful time again. Laura was very accommodating, informative, and friendly throughout our stay. They even put up the baby camping cot for our son. Everything was clean and neat.
