The place was clean,very spacious, and the owner was promptly in responding, and we got to see different animals at our doorstep. Definitely, a second round is loading.........

The photos were underrating the place.

The braai area and jacuzzi are very pleasant. The abundance of space in the house and air-conditioning inside the house was excellent. The backup generator. A lot of animals visit the house every day.

The area has power supply problems. Hence, the backup generator has to be used.

The house has plenty of space, a great upper floor with outdoor cooking and a look-out tower. The enclosed garden at the back with the splash pool was great for our kids. As was the dishwasher and washingmachine. Every room has airconditioning and all but one room a mosquito net. Lots and lots of animals around, really perfect.

It seemed we were the first guests after a period of emptyness; the coffeemachine wasn’t cleaned and still full with coffee grounds from the last use, fully molded.. Splash pool had dirty water and took 4 days to be able to see the bottom once Alex took care of it. 2 big canisters for animal feeding were empty, but there was an envelope and honesty system explained. 1 airconditioning wasn’t cooling much; probably uncleaned filters, but too high to reach and check ourselves. All except the mosquito net for the baby cot had holes in them. All in all it felt a little ‘run down’, with empty planters in front of the house and the roof being loose at a certain place which gave a ‘clunking’ sound all the time with wind. Not great if you have trouble sleeping, but we were so tired most of the time that it didn’t bother us a lot. We are hands-on so tried to solve most of the minor issues ourselves. Bring sugar and maybe some soap for the washing machine if you intend to use it. Communication with the on-premise host Alex went great, but the owner communicates through the booking.com app and as you don’t get notified of new messages this isn’t ideal.

The house was spacious. The location was superb. Beautifully furnished and super clean. The roof patio was wonderful to view the animals which came to visit: giraffe, buck, warthogs, zebra. Air conditioned and very comfortable. Any problems e.g. oven not working, was attended to immediately on the same day. The supervisor on site was helpful and super friendly,

Nothing. It was perfect in all aspects.

We loved verything about the property. It was clean, spacious and a lovely outdoor chilling place. The braai area was also nice.

Nothing

The location was good and the amount of animals around the house

We had warm water issues when using different bathrooms at the same time.

The house and animals

The aircon in the main bedroom did not work. The frying pan in kitchen is rusted, needs to be replaced
