    Serving breakfast..

    Liked the garden and the spacious comfortable rooms its a pity breakfast is not served but that is no biggy. I really enjoyed my stay. Very private, relaxing and peaceful too. The communication line was always opened and I like that. Really felt at home and made to feel important. (^^,)

    Nothing in particular

    The place felt like home far away from home. I enjoyed working in the kitchen as it was well equipped. If you love nature, spend your time in the garden, it's so peaceful and well taken care of. It's so quiet you'll even think you're the only person there. The staff was so friendly and gave us a warm welcome, they are always there when you need them. They respect your privacy, no one will be knocking on your door in the morning, unless you call them. I also liked that they had backup when there was load shedding, you wouldn't even notice that the electricity is gone. I'll definitely visit the place again.

    The location is handy but there is alot of building going on in the immediate area which makes it a little unsettling driving in at night, although nothing happened and the automatic gate works very well

    Spotlessly clean, very well stocked kitchen for utensils, crockery etc. The staff were very helpful

    The only really bad experience is the huge construction site on the opposite side of the road. Being in a residential area, the road is not as if it is a dbl lane, it is quite narrow. Noice and construction trucks are therefore very close. The jackhammer made the entire earth shake – and that on the public holiday. That was bad but no the fault of the establishment.

    I loved the fact that it had a patio overlooking the garden, for me that is homely especially when it is a long stay. A lot of trees outside the unit which is beautiful but makes the place a little bit cold. I had the heater on most evenings. A wonderful stay
