Lovely rooms, nice communal areas, helpful staff and a delicious breakfast by the pool. Great for a stop over or longer. They recommended a driver called Peter who took us on to our main destination in Sabi Sands. He was excellent and really good company for the drive.

We had no idea what to expect for our two nights and man were we happy with what we found. A safari before and after our safari - the property sits in a reserve!! The hosts are incredible and helpful. Local restaurants were fantastic. Rooms are great - breakfast outstanding - while watching the wildlife! Thanks - it was a wonderful part of our 5 week SA adventure.

Exceptional experience from start to finish. Where else can you start your day with a beautiful outdoor shower followed by a delicious breakfast in the garden including a visit by a giraffe just a few feet away? We would love to return back sometime soon.

Lieu calme et charmant, enclavé dans une petite réserve animaliere arborée. Le logement indépendant est spacieux et joliment décoré. Très bon accueil des propriétaires. C'est un très bon choix pour visiter Blyde Canyon ou pour faire une pause quand on descend le parc Kruger du nord au sud.

Speziell gelegenes schönes Haus und tolle Gatgeber

Super schönes Haus mit tollem Garten. Sehr netter Empfang mit erfrischendem Gesichtstuch und Welcome-Drink. Tolles Frühstück am Pool serviert. Der kleine Tierpark (begehbar) grenzt an das Grundstück, Tiere sind teils direkt vor dem Garten zu sehen. Zufahrt ist durch ein offizielles Gate in den privaten Resortbereich (wenn man es weiss einfach zu finden...)

Diese Unterkunft ist einfach grandios. Super nette Gastgeber, ein großes, liebevoll eingerichtetes Appartement und ein schöner Garten mit einem kleinen Pool. Das tollste aber ist die Lage in einem kleinen Wildreservat. Die Tiere kommen bis an den Gartenzaun und man kann zu Fuß durch das Reservat wandern. Nachmittags, wenn die Schatten länger werden und die Farben wärmer, ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Ganz in der Nähe gibt es auch ein sehr ansprechendes Restaurant.
