Mimosa

Absolutely every single thing was perfect. The kind, professional assistance from Bernice, to the heartwarming welcome from Ivy. The house is gorgeous, and tells such a gentle tale. Early mornings on the verandah to watching the sun wrap the day up in golden hues is such a pleasure. Each room is perfectly set, the furnishings understated and elegant and the kitchen an absolute dream to cook in. Strolling around the puturesque gardens with the sweetest dogs provides such solace. Mimosa lodge is as intoxicating as a mimosa!

Big high five to the Mimosa Guest House in Makhanda, my base of operations (along with a herd of cows outside) during the RU120 visit to Makhanda. Very comfortable historic home in a lush garden setting with inviting charcoal pool. Temperatures required regular immersions and poolside lounging. Woke up to the caterwauling of the Hadada Ibis in the trees each morning. Enjoyed meals at Major Fraser's across the street from Drostdy Arch. They have superb pizzas that are wood-fired oven-cooked.

"We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! It was spotlessly clean and had a warm, homely feel that made us feel right at ease. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!"

"We were thoroughly impressed with our stay! Honestly, there was nothing that disappointed us - everything exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it!"

I loved the beautiful rooms, and the verhandah. Perfect for watching the setting sun.

The property is absolutely beautiful, and the gardens are gorgeous. All facilities are of the highest quality, making the stay a perfect home from home. Ivy is warm and welcoming too.

We we well received on arrival. The facility was neat and tidy and met all our needs.

The dogs were a bit of a nuisance. No other complains.
