We really enjoyed our 3 night stay with the family. The staff were friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious. The outdoor was serene and quiet. The kids play area was also a bonus.

We were in the bottom villa however due to the wooden floors, we could hear when they were walking up and down which can be a bit a disturbance when you are trying to sleep.

"Amazing place to visit! Highly recommend"

10.0

The kitchen was very nice. Very spacious, with a nice entertainment area that has a pool table, table tennis and darts, along with a swimming pool. There were also very cute dogs, particularly Laila, she was a sweetheart. Spacious bathroom and living room. Staff were very friendly and were even able to provide us with salt and pepper when we didn't have it. Very scenic area. Close to wild 5 and a restaurant so the location is very convenient. We absolutely loved our stay there.

More of a tiny nitpick, but locking the place can be a bit confusing at the start but once you understand how it works then it's not an issue anymore. The key to the bedroom exit doesn't work so you have to use the latch to lock it from the inside before you leave and the front door has to be locked in a certain way to lock it. But it's easy to do once you know how.

Très bon emplacement, calme, dans la nature et très près des gorges d'Oribi. Logement spacieux.

Quelques petits problème de maintenance du logement, par exemple en ce qui concerne les verrous des portes-fenêtres.

"Gorgeous property"

10.0

The unit was big and had everything you could possibly need. The gardens are vast and the scenery is amazing. You see Ostrich, sheep and other animals when you are driving. Looking forward to returning with the children. You get a voucher to visit the Big 5 which is a stone’s throw away from the property. Very friendly and helpful staff. There’s a coffee shop on the premises
