Beautiful, peaceful and very relaxing. We had such a lovely stay! The rooms were beautiful, and the patio, pool and braai area were amazing. It’s such a peaceful and relaxing place, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The host was always quick to respond on WhatsApp whenever we had a question. Being able to book game drives directly through the host was also a big plus, and we had an amazing experience! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our few days there. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to visit again!

Pure bliss in nature, peaceful and rejuvenating. I had an amazing stay! The place is beautiful, peaceful, and tucked away in a secluded area, making it the perfect escape to relax and unwind. It feels very safe, and seeing all the animals around made the experience even more special. The beautiful views and hot tub were definitely highlights. Everything was very clean and well taken care of, and the whole atmosphere was just perfect. We truly got to relax, enjoy the surroundings, and recharge. I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for peace, comfort, and a little escape from everyday life. I would love to visit again!

Neat, modern, blissful. Everything was perfect. Only small comment is that the shower drain was clogged and the water was piling up and running down into the bathroom. Other than that, the host accommodated us incredibly and the unit was neat and incredibly comfortable.

Netjies, modern, salig. Alles was perfek. Enigste klein opmerking is dat die stort se drein verstop was en die water hoop op en hardloop af in die badkamer in. Verder as dit, die gasheer het ons ongelooflik geakkommodeer en was 'n netjiese eenheid en ongelooflik gerieflik.

Perfect getaway feels luxurious and pampered. Everything was perfect. Would love to stay there again. The decor is beautiful and it just feels special to stay there.

Perfekte wegbreek voel luuks en bederf. Alles was perfek. Sal weer daar wil gaan bly. Dekor is mooi en voel sommer spesiaal om daar te bly.
