"Wonderful stop right off the highway for a peaceful stay. Great food and very clean."

9.0

Incredible views, close enough to the highway. Very clean and nicely decorated. Great food and friendly staff.

The double bed was a bit small for the two of us but that's just my preference! I also prefer a solid bathroom door as opposed to sliding with some space underneath but again, just my preference!

"Райский уголок на берегу реки"

10.0

Расположение - рядом с дорогой, легко найти (мы ехали из Йоханесбурга в Крюгер парк). Несмотря на то, что рядом с дорогой - очень уединенное и тихое место. Красивая ухоженная территория с прямым выходом на реку. Домики оборудованы мангальной зоной и полноценной кухней. Идеально для остановки на несколько дней. Дружелюбная хозяйка. Несмотря на наше позднее прибытие - предложили приготовить для нас персональный ужин. Жаль, что мы утром выехали в 5 утра - по утрам на реке можно увидеть бегемотов-)

Бегемотов мы не увидели-))))
