Guest Reviews
- Annelien (7/5): Just a sleep over. - Small cottage with not much of a view. You have to be outside to get the view.
The bed was super comfortable! The cottage is very small but good for a sleep over for a night or two. I was very disappointed that the unit was not cleaned properly. The air fryer still had old cheese in from a previous use and the dustbin was not emptied.
The shower has a leak and the whole floor floods, so don't put anything on the floor.
There is NO heater in the unit. It snowed on Sani the previous night and it was icy inside the cottage.
- erwann (10/5): - The host was very welcoming and shared valuable pieces of advices with us.

- Siyabonga (9/5): Our stay was memorable and adventurous. - The view. The property is aesthetically positioned to capture the true essence of the nature surrounding it. The absence of these essential appliances: TV, microwave, and telephone. These are usually available in properties of the same type.
- Niels (9/5): - Comfortabel, rustig, prachtig uitzicht, leuke speeltuin.
Perfecte uitvalsbasis voor een trip naar de Sani pass. De gordijnen waren niet slecht maar hadden nog iets meer verduisterend mogen zijn.
Verder geen verbeterpunten.

- Romane (10/5): -
- Johnel Wade (10/5): A fantastic gem with a beautiful setting - Even though our 2 bedroom flat looked out onto a very pretty courtyard, it was just a few steps away to the front garden where you have a lovely view over the mountains, with a pretty setting in a gorgeous garden. The flat was beautifully decorated and furnished, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had a Nespresso Coffee machine which is a big treat. It was quite hot when we stayed over, but there was a fan in the bedroom as well. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. I have already recommended Khanyeni to friends and family. I will most definitely return, as it was really good value for money as well. I'm so pleased to have discovered this gem. I cannot think of any improvements, except perhaps a full size fridge for longer stays. We only stayed one night, so managed to fit everything in.
- Claire (10/5): - The owners are most welcoming
and nothing is too much trouble. Our room was beautiful and the view was breathtaking.
We'll definitely be back! Absolutely nothing to dislike.

- Wilna (9/5): -
- Frank (10/5): - Sehr schöne Unterkunft in traumhafter Lage mit Blick auf einen See Nichts
- Daniele Salvatore (10/5): SOGGIORNO MERAVIGLIOSO. - Posizione ottimale per esplorare la zona. Propietaria super gentile e disponibile. Appartamento molto comodo, spazioso, pulito e completo di tutto. La sera quando si accende il camino si crea una bellissima atmosfera da chalet di montagna. Il giardino esterno è stupendo, con una piccola area gioco per bambini, per non parlare della splendida vista lago e sullo sfondo la montagna Giant's Cup!
BELLISSIMO SOGGIORNO. Grazie. Niente
- Nina (7/5): - Very personal and kind host. Very friendly and attentive staff. The location is perfect
- Rakeesha (7/5): Our stay - Comfortable lounge and rooms. Attention to comfort and detail. Bar fridge, no space to keep our meat in the freezer. Some forks had food residue and cups tea residue. The host should have introduced herself to us, instead we spoke more to the helper. Overall, was a comfy stay.
- Swana (6/5): The property is beautiful and romantic. It’s a place I can return to and visit again. - The owner was professional, welcoming and even spoke in isiZulu. The room was private, clean, comfortable and warm. The room was too small
- Jakub (10/5): A picturesque relaxing and wonderful getaway - The view from the room was just stunning, the glass door and windows overlooking a beautiful lake, the mountains in the background and picturesque hills. Hosts were incredibly welcoming, advising places to visit, places to eat as well as making sure we were felt well taken care of. Nothing

My partners loves fishing and the owners gave us their fishing gear and a little boat so we could go fishing on the lake at the property. My partners loves and I loved it! Nothing much. Actually we didn’t know there would be a fridge and utensils in the room (which is a big plus!) so we didn’t know at first we could just take our own breakfast with us. There is no breakfast etc so just be aware to bring your own or find a nice restaurant.
