Guest Reviews
- Cameron (10/5): A beautiful country getaway - The host was very accomodating of our late check in and early check out times. The room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The view from the room was excellent and the gardens surrounding the room were stunning. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay any longer. Nothing, it was great!
- Claudia (10/5): -
- Marcelle (8/5): Thank you Tu and Tucker for greeting us and being available - Beautiful setting The outside patio light kept coming on - very bright and invasive
- Christoph (9/5): Tolle Lage, nettes Personal, sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt - Außergewöhnlich nette Gastgeber und Personal. Frühstück sehr lecker und bot alles was wir uns gewünscht haben. Tolles Haus und wunderschöner Garten. Als wir da waren war die Witterung sehr kühl und man heizt dann mit einem Radiator. Das reicht nicht um Schlafzimmer und Bad schön warm zu bekommen, aber das ist natürlich üblich so dort und deshalb auch in Ordnung.
- Jako (9/5): very good, satisfied -
- Joanne (8/5): Too short for such a beautiful spot. - We were made to feel very welcome on arrival, like meeting old friends. Our hosts went our of there way to arrange a healthy breakfast for us after not booking it in advance. Our room was warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Would definetly stay there again. Beatuful views.
- Mosima (1/5): Bad - There were no breakfast , no accommodation as it was a double booking Nothing
- Makhetha (9/5): Superb - Views - It's a beautiful quiet area with great views, the gardens are beautiful. The beds were very very comfortable, we had many towels in our room and it was very comfortable.
Breakfast- The food was warm, delicious and filling, they offered many various options each and every morning. Their yoghurt was soooooooooooo delicious👌
Hosts - The hosts were warm and welcoming, the Sir was extremely friendly and he takes interest in each guest. For the Bed and Breakfast rooms, there isn't much privacy. The kitchen area is shared with other occupants of which it should have been clearly stated so that we can make a choice if it's what we want or not, we could hear everything from their room from showering to conversations. The walls aren't great I believe.
Secondly, there is only one small Breakfast table, which you share with the other occupants which are strangers. You are literally in each other's faces, you are forced to pass around stuff on the table and make conversations even if you prefer quiet breakfast mornings. Not a romantic getaway in this aspect.
Thirdly, I think they don't take into account that some individuals aren't really font of pets, eating and being conscious of dog's fur wasn't really great.
- Maher (9/5): Superb -
- Jody (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was excellent!👌🏻

- Gill (10/5): Very relaxing with beautiful views and therapeutic. - Anita and Tusiwe were amazing hosts. Anita was very forthcoming with information regarding the area and places to visit. It was a home away from home as Anita was so easy going. The breakfast, which was included in the room rate was very tasty with many options. Was lovely. It was very relaxing being there. Only thing I would say is that a fan would have been nice just to circulate the air in the room.
