Lovely hosts, clean and comfortable unit, beautiful surroundings. Very attentive and helpful hosts who went out of their way to help us with directions. The cottage was very clean, cosy, and everything we needed was there. We had a very comfortable night's sleep. Additional extra touches, such as nice magazines to read, were very welcome.

Very friendly, everything you need to unwind. Everything you need, and a great place to look at the stars. There's no shortage of space and openness there. If you're looking for a place to disconnect, but still easily accessible, look no further.

Baie vriendelik, alles wat mens nodig het om af te skakel. Alles wat jy nodig het, en 'n goeie plek om na die sterre te kyk. Oopte en spasie is nie 'n tekort daarso nie. As jy 'n plek soek om af te skakel, maar wat wel maklik bereikbaar is, moenie verder kyk nie.

Nice overnight stop! We had a great stay. Quiet. Sheep and ostrich came to say hello. There is just no name sign along the road. The GPS (Waze) let us drive past. And the roadworks didn't help either. But at least they are fixing the road!

Lekker oornag afpak plek! Ons het baie lekker gebly. Rustig. Skapie en volstruis het kom groet. Daar is net nie 'n naam bord langs die pad nie. Die GPS (Waze) het ons laat verbyry. En die padwerke het ook nie gehelp nie. Maar ten minste maak hulle die pad reg!

Lovely quiet out-of-town stopover place for a restful stay. Wonderful stay. We were looking for something for a stopover, not in town, quiet and unusual - and this place was it. From the baby lamb to stroke, to the pool to swim in and tracks to ride on, it was perfect for our needs, and our hosts were lovely and helpful.

Relaxing and beautiful. It was very nice. Maree was very accommodating as we got there late. Everything was beautiful and clean. I could have stayed there much longer.

Comfortable, safe, value for money. Wonderfully hospitable welcome and lovely atmosphere, would definitely recommend it to travellers who want to switch off and relax after a long journey. It's safe, the children enjoy the outdoors and we had a wonderful stay!

Gemaklik, veilig, waarde vir geld. Wonderlike gasvrye ontvangs en heerlike atmosfeer, sal dit beslis aanbeveel vir reisigers wat graag wil afskakel en rustig wees na 'n lang reis. Dis veilig, die kinders geniet die buitelewe en ons het heerlik gebly!
