Definitely worth a visit. It's remote and quiet (except for the peacocks). We had a very nice stay in the spacious room with a beautiful view of the cliff. The hostess was particularly nice and helpful. The room is wonderfully spacious with easy chairs where you can sit and watch the beautiful garden and birds. Crisp linen, soft towels and a porch with braai area and kitchenette were ideal. It is close to Ezemvelo Reserve, which makes it very suitable for an early morning walk in the reserve.

Relaxed with the sound of the river in our ears the whole time. We had a lovely walk. We experienced a friendly welcome from start to finish. Lizelle went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.

We will do a visit to the treehouse again, comfortable and with everything you need. Markon had a great weekend away. The road was a bit muddy after the heavy rain, but we were able to drive comfortably in most places. Animals came to visit the house and the river near the tree house in the evenings is beautiful.

Beautiful venue. Absolutely beautiful. Staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The only problem is the dirt road, which is not mentioned on their listing and was a bit challenging for smaller cars. We also had one family member on a bike, which he dropped in the very soft sand.
