"The place was overall beautiful and the views were breathtaking."

6.0

The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment we stepped in to check in we got assisted without even asking and the guy made sure that he showed us our room and made sure that we were comfortable.

The thatch room had a smell and it was uncomfortable.

"Prachtig river view huisje in Hazyview."

9.0

Het was een aangename ontvangst. We hadden een super mooi huisje met terras en river view. Ook zie je olifanten op de heuvel van het nabij gelegen opvangcentrum. Het dinner en ontbijt waren heel lekker. Echt een aanrader.

Alles was super, soms een beetje lawaai van auto's. Ook is het een groot domein.
