Cozy, beautiful, enjoyable. Beautiful place ideal for backpackers. We stayed one night in a log cabin, had a good rest and enjoyed the simple but nice breakfast that was included in the price. Bonus points for the outdoor showers with an amazing view (there are indoor showers as well).

Not impressed. It's a lovely setting, but the backpacker dorm was terrible. The kitchen area can only be described as 'sticky and icky'. The gas bottle was leaking, so the whole kitchen smelled like gas and the counters were filthy. The bathroom was not a breeze either, as the shower's water pressure was crazy, either piping hot or freezing cold, with violent bursts of water or a little drip. We paid for two nights but decided to find alternative accommodation after the first night. On a positive note, the pizza was very good according to my colleagues.

Not great. It was okay. The place lacked cleanliness. Things were broken that require minimal maintenance.

Disappointing. Waste of money. Disappointing. No TV, Wi-Fi, coffee/tea, next to bathroom shared by everyone. Could hear everything in bathroom. Very unsafe. Place should never have been listed on the website. Room not up to standard at all.

Teleurstellend. Geld gemors. Teleurstellend. Geen TV,Wi-fi,koffie/tee,Langs badkamer wat deur almal gedeel word. Kon alles hoor in badkamer. Baie onveilig. Plek moes nooit gelys gewees het op die webtuiste nie. Kamer glad nie op standaard nie.

Something different from the usual - new people to meet and a beautiful view. We were hesitant at first to get out with the cows on the lawn and some excited dogs (We are city lads!), but pushed through and were welcomed very kindly. We were shown the facilities and moved into the cute "log cabin". Dad was worried that there were only "showers with a view" available, but was soon reassured when we discovered more facilities. A small breakfast in the morning before departure was a pleasant ending!

Iets anders as die gewone - nuwe mense om te ontmoet en 'n pragtige uitsig. Ons was eers huiwerig om uit te klim met die koeie op die grasperk en 'n paar opgewonde honde (Ons is stadsjapies!), maar het deurgedruk en is baie vriendelik verwelkom. Ons is die geriewe gewys en het in die oulike "log cabin" ingetrek. Pa was bekommerd dat daar net "showers with a view" beskikbaar was, maar is gou gerusgestel toe ons nog geriewe ontdek. 'n Klein ontbyt die oggend voor vertrek was 'n aangename afsluiting!

Absolutely fantastic! We were 3 adults with a baby, amazing experience with helpful people! Great getaway for any family type.

Absoluut fantasties! Ons was 3 volwassenes met 'n baba, ongelooflike ervaring met behulpsame mense! Lekker wegbreek vir enige gesinstipe.

Beautiful place to stay. You get what you pay for. Customer service was a little uncomfortable because the woman could barely speak English.

Vreeslike mooi plek om te bly. Jy kry waarvoor jy betaal. Kliëntediens was bietjie ongemaklik, aangesien vrou by ontvangs skaars Engels gepraat het.
