I loved the river view and the sound of it at night

I wish there was something I didn't like. Everything was up to my standard

surroundings were great. Nice and peaceful. There's a good braai area , would work perfectly if you book both tents for a family weekend. Everyone can share the outdoor area together. Very comfortable and scenic. Everything you'd need. The hosts are awesome, great people very friendly.

Outdoor showers are great , but would be better if it was closed off a little better on the side facing other tents. This feel like a privacy issue to the ladies. The bathroom side of the tents are not see-through but at night the lights make you see what's going on inside this area, meaning you can see someone and their shapes inside from any angle. This makes you feel a little uncomfortable.
