Incredible. Don't miss it. We discovered a real treasure! It's so beautiful at Old Joe's Kaia. I wish we could have stayed longer. Marian is a wizard in the kitchen, we enjoyed the most delicious vegan meal. We are not vegans and even my kids enjoyed the food! (And that's not always easy.) Marian and her husband are super hosts. It felt like we were visiting family.

Ongelooflik. Moenie dit misloop nie. Ons het 'n ware skat ontdek! Dis so mooi by Old Joe's Kaia. Ek wens ons kon langer bly. Marian is 'n wizard in die kombuis, ons het die heerlikste vegan maaltyd geniet. Ons is nie vegans nie en selfs my kinders het die kos geniet! (En dis nie altyd maklik nie.) Marian en haar man is super gashere. Dit het gevoel of ons by familie gaan kuier het.

Good location, reception and staff. Rooms, garden and pool are tired and need work. Thank you for hosting us. We enjoyed our stay at your accommodation but were disappointed in the overall condition of the unit we had access to. I enjoyed the 'Great Expectations' feel of the old antiques scattered across the property, and the reception area was great. The room, however, fell short of our expectations, and there were numerous maintenance tasks that were being neglected. In the end, we did not think this was value for money when compared to other places we have stayed.

Beautifully located. It is perfectly located 90 minutes from the Malelaan gate in the Kruger. So, if you still want to visit the Game Reserve, but want to make your driving time easier the next day, it works well. We only made a mistake with the fact that we had a few heavy things that we didn't want to leave in our car, and it is quite a walk from your car to your sleeping place up or down a hill. The family room had basic kitchen facilities under the stoep roof if you don't want to use the owner's meals.

Pragtig geleë. Dit is perfek 90 min geleë van die Malelaan hek in die Kruger. Dus, as jy nog lekker in die Wildtuin wil kuier, maar die volgende dag jou rytyd makliker wil maak, werk dit goed. Ons het ons net misgis met die feit dat ons 'n paar swaar goed gehad het wat ons nie in ons kar wou los nie, en dit is nogal 'n stukkie se stap van jou kar na jou slaapplek teen 'n bult op of af. Die familie kamer het basiese kombuisgeriewe onder die stoep se dak gehad as mens nie van die eienaar se etes wil gebruikmaak nie.
