Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you very much. Next time, we will be in summer. Idyllic setting, pity we didn't get to use the swimming pool as autumn was in full swing. Hearing the big cats roar at night was quite special - there is a sanctuary in the area. Just a note that if you are hiring the entire home, the host lives on one side of the house. Note to take your own drinking water. Also, the home is off the grid, so resources need to be managed. Queenie, the resident ostrich, was a great host, watching over us as we unpacked and got settled.

Pathetic customer service. I would not recommend booking this place at all. The house itself is beautiful, but the service is pathetic. The host constantly pestered us on WhatsApp about the electricity usage. We asked Wayne to stop, but he ignored it and kept sending messages constantly, and was surprised when you told him that it took away from the whole experience to hear from him all the time. On top of that, we arrived with 75% electricity, and he informed me that the previous guests had used it up, which then became our problem for the whole weekend. His attitude was also unpleasant, and when I called him, he threatened to contact the website, which I did. The road to the villa is not well signposted. The host ruined the whole experience and was by far one of the worst accommodation experiences. In addition, he also sent rude messages, which I will forward to the website. We also washed the dishes and tried to keep the place as clean as possible, but were then told afterwards that the dishes had to be redone and that money would be deducted. I would recommend spending your money somewhere else.

Patetiese kliënte diens. Ek sal glad nie aanbeveel om hierdie plek te bespreek nie. Die huis self is pragtig, maar die diens is pateties. Die gasheer het ons konstant op WhatsApp gepla oor die elektrisiteitsverbruik. Daar is mooi gevra dat Wayne hiermee ophou, maar hy het dit geïgnoreer en aangehou om konstant boodskappe te stuur, en was verbaas wanneer mens vir hom sê dat dit wegneem van die hele ervaring om heeltyd van hom te hoor. Buiten dit het ons met 75% elektrisiteit aangekom, en hy het my laat weet dat die vorige gaste dit opgebruik het, wat toe die hele naweek ons probleem geword het. Sy houding was ook onaangenaam, en toe ek hom gebel het, het hy gedreig dat ek die webtuiste moet kontak, wat ek toe wel gedoen het. Die pad na die villa is nie goed aangedui nie. Die gasheer het die hele ervaring geruïneer en was by verre een van die swakste verblyfervarings. Bygesê dat hy ook onbeskofte boodskappe gestuur het, wat ek aan die webtuiste sal aanstuur. Ons het ook die skottelgoed gewas en probeer om die plek so skoon as moontlik te hou, maar is toe ná die tyd gesê dat die skottelgoed oorgewas moes word en dat geld afgetrek gaan word. Ek sal aanbeveel om liewer êrens anders jou geld te spandeer.

Beautiful peaceful setting with wonderful views and a very well equipped house. A magnificent house, in a fantastic location. The house is very well equipped with everything you need. Bedrooms and bathrooms well sized and the pizza oven and braai works very well. The layout of the house is perfect for a larger group of friends or families with teenagers.

The stay was great and hospitality and service too. The only concern was that there were 100s of centipedes that came into the downstairs bedrooms. which made the stay a bit unpleasant. We were constantly sweeping them up to avoid tramping on them.

For some reason we had a plague of centipedes for a week, then they disappeared. An entomologist said it was rare, but it could have been a weather phenomenon. We hope you return, Amina.

Om een of ander rede het ons vir 'n week lank 'n plaag van duisendpote gehad, toe verdwyn hulle. ’n Entomoloog het gesê dit is skaars, maar dit kon ’n weerverskynsel gewees het. Ons hoop jy keer terug, Amina.

Breakaway with gorgeous views. Swimming pool and pool table! Loved our stay at this villa on the hill with a beautiful location. Best views over Klein Berge and fynbos. Beautiful pool and spacious farmhouse veranda. Great kitchen for entertaining with a big gas hob and oven. Only suggestion is to warn guests of sandy road up to the house and that a car with a strong engine is needed. Also, bring charcoal and fire lighters. The wood fireplace is a bit smoky, but well worth the drive. A real gem.

Very nice house for many people. Very hospitable and beautiful view. Owners very hospitable and quick with help in a crisis. Nice, big house for lots of people. Very close to town. Lovely view.

Baie lekker huis vir klomp mense. Baie gasvry en pragtige uitsig. Eienaars baie gasvry en vinnig met hulp in 'n krisis. Lekker, groot huis vir klomp mense. Baie naby die dorp. Lieflike uitsig.

Excellent view and very spacious. We were a golf group of 12. The house and view took our breath away. Everything is very spacious. The rooms were neat and clean. All the necessary amenities and more. Chantelle was a very good hostess who constantly wanted to make sure everything was ok. We would go back to Felicita anytime.

Uitstekende uitsig en baie ruim. Ons was 'n gholfgroep van 12. Die huis en uitsig het ons asem weggeslaan. Alles is vreeslik ruim. Die kamers was netjies en skoon. Al die nodige geriewe en meer. Chantelle was 'n baie goeie gasvrou wat gedurig wou sekermaak of alles reg is. Ons sal enige tyd weer teruggaan na Felicita toe.

The most beautiful memories made at a beautiful place. Top notch accommodation, everything you could think of was there. Rooms very spacious, clean. Lizette and foreman responded immediately to messages if we needed anything. Ideal for a large group, 6 separate large rooms. Have fun around the large tables on the porch and in the dining room. Kitchen well equipped. Nature is beautiful. Would recommend to anyone.

Mooiste memories gemaak by 'n prag-plek. Verblyf uit die boonste rakke, alles waaraan jy kon dink was daar. Vertrekke baie ruim, skoon. Lizette en voorman het dadelik gereageer op boodskappe indien ons iets nodig gehad het. Ideaal vir 'n groot groep, 6 aparte groot kamers. Lekker gekuier om die groot tafels op die stoep en in die eetkamer. Kombuis goed toegerus. Natuur is pragtig. Sal vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

We had the best time. The house was absolutely stunning. This is a great vacation home for nature lovers. Be mindful that it is a bit tricky driving on the dirt road with small cars, but besides that, everything was perfect. We even got to meet Queenie the ostrich who was so friendly and pretty. Thank you to Lizette for making our stay so pleasant. We will definitely be back.
