"For the price you are getting a sufficient service. Next time,I wish the farm cottage is available"

5.0

The farm was beautiful, the scenery was great and the room heater especially, as it was a cold night. Price was reasonable.

The place is located on the bush and surrounded by nature. I really love the stay.

Kitchen is outside but it's was OK because it's had everything we needed.

"Basic but good"

8.0

Quiet location, clean, good wi-Fi, well managed, good value for money

I had to close the windows at night as there were 2 mosquitoes inside the room (which took me 15 minutes to kill). It was fine with me, but in summer, it would have got hot, I guess.

Safe place and good located

The owner wasn't welcoming. In his welcoming message we were told that there's no noise after 10pm however st 8pm he called to say we're making noise. The rooms allocated to us didn't have warm water while there were rooms with warm water but not allocated for us. To show that he wasn't happy with our stay at his property he even made follow up message to ask as why we used rooms that were not allocated to us of which we did not use but were looking for hot water. It shows that they don't treat their customers equally there are those who are better than others. I was so disappointed because it wasn't the first time going to the place and I'm the one who recommended it to the group
