This stay was the tonic for just what we needed. Spacious, quiet, very well equipped and clean. Our daily Angel allowed us to enjoy the sounds and sights of nature in peace. Apart from the load shedding, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Excellent stay - very spacious with many amenities. The feeling of living on your private smallholding. Tasteful decor in the bush makes for a luxurious family vacation.
We woke up to warthogs having a drink of water near the wooden deck.
