Everything was beyond perfect during our stay. We got all the instructions from the host to collect the keys, hence our arrival was very smooth. The room exceeded our expectations, it was really perfect in every details. Bed was super comfortable, they have netflix service, a generator which made our stay super comfortable even during load shedding and last but not least, an amazing shower. Moreover there is a coffee place/restaurant in the same building so everything was super functional. Super recommended.

It has all the amenities one would expect in a modern home, such as dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, as well as smeg appliances and hairdryers throughout. The bedrooms are comfortable and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms are clean. The common areas such as kitchen, lounge and dining room is spacious and large. The surrounding garden is beautiful.

She went an extra mile in providing twin plugs, USB ports to recharge and battery operated lamps. Comfortable space to chill outside and enough to keep children busy ESP during load shedding .
