    The toilet needs a little attention.

    It was a sheer joy: rest, peace, nature, privacy and comfort. The fact that there was almost no other human contact was a bonus. Thank you!

    We loved the first few nights in the tent. So grounding w nature, yet we had all we needed to be comfy. The daily display by the Jackal Buzzards was so special. Walking on the property and exploring the nearby attractions was so lovely. The last few nights spent in the Chalet was a real treat, enjoying the smaller birds and having the specials passing through the garden. The fact that we could have our doggies there was such a bonus and the pool on warmer days was such a life saver. Gail, Boos and Thandi are just the best!

    Only needed two steak knives that's all.

    Tranquil views out of this world a steep climb worth that secluded area and it was equipped with the necessities one needed to scale down. Safe and secure. Wind was awesome at night and the bird calls late and early morning. Pack light for this gem to visit as you going to feel it walking up to get that view. My 2nd time here and always coming back for more.... The eagles needed much quiet seroundings to observe them late afternoon.

    A magnificent space to quiet the mind and immerse yourself in nature.

    The shower pressure is quite low and it was difficult to get it to a good temperature. We either had scorching or cold. The steep climb is STEEP! It's quite a hike uphill so make sure you don't pack more than necessary. Though non of the two above would stop us from coming back again.

    This location is absolutely stunning! The views from the balcony are incomparable. The tent is fitted with two single mattresses that are quite comfy. It had everything we needed for our 2-night stay. Although the place doesn't include wifi, it has great signal, so you're able to work and go online if needed (though up here you won't want to do anything except immerse yourself in the surroundings!) The eagle calls throughout the day was such a luxury to hear.

    Nothing.

    The location is more or less 1/2 way between Sedgefield and Wilderness which allows you access to either. It is also far enough away from the freeway to be quiet and restful.

    What a magical experience! Such a beautiful little Chalet nestled in the bush. So isolated and far from civilization - we loved the privacy. You only hear nature and a ton of birds. It was such a cozy little place. I loved the visits from the birds and the fireplace in the evenings. More than enough wood for braais and the fireplace at night. Kind host and we just loved Thandi! Chalet was well equipt and we had absolutely everything we needed. We CANNOT wait to be back!

    There is about 5km of a dirt road leading to the property to be aware of, but its 100% worth it and actually also lots of fun if you have a sense of adventure. Wish we could stay longer.

    This place is an absolute hidden gem! We stayed in the chalet that just feels like a holiday. Its basic. but has everything you need and the environment is unbeatably beautiful. We.spotted atleast 12 different kinds of birds from our doorstep. Theres a little patio thats perfect for just soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. Our hosts were so kind and helpful and provided lots of extra information about the area. We have a toddler and he LOVED the space. He played on the grass and walked through the trees and also enjoyed throwing a ball to the dog who lives on site. It was raining while we were there, but the braai area is equipped with everything you could need. When the rain stopped we enjoyed just sitting there and watching the wild life. The chalet has a fantastic shower, good wifi (not that you would want to look at a screen at all when you stay here) and we were pleasantly surprised that coffee and tea and sugar and milk was also provided. We only wish we could stay longer, but will be back soon.

    I loved it! I had a solo "eat, pray, love" journey all by myself. It really centered myself and brought me back down to reality. I was bird watching every day, coloured in and just chilled.. Things I never do. But it's sooo peaceful there. Definitely does clear your mind. Making this a yearly mission.

    Beware of the monkeys in the forests they came often to us. And there are big spiders but they aren't dangerous - it's Africa! And you're in the nature so notice that

    It was a stunning view over the seas and the forest. We loved the atmosphere there! Thandi visited us to say hello and it's such a cute dog. The sky is amazing at night.

    Thank you Gail for your wonderful accommodation you provided. Our spot was like a nest in the trees and we so enjoyed the views, the calls of the eagles, the amazing nature all around us. We are so thankful that you went out of your way to make our stay amazing. Thank you also to Thandi for her beautiful gifts that she brought us on each visit. Thank you also to Frank for his super friendliness and for his help with our great trek, it was so appreciated.

    A very peaceful stay to start our December holiday. A well equipped chalet with plenty of natural light. Lovey deck for morning coffee and rusks. Well positioned braai area under the trees. Use of the swimming pool area was a big plus and the kids loved Thandi’s (the dog) daily visits. Pleasant drive on gravel road along the vleis to Wilderness. Close to bird hides and hiking trails. We heard the eagle’s call most days of our stay.
