The owners were really nice and helpful, the apartment itself is beautiful and comfy. There is park place for the car and very nice lookout point on top of the apartment. Also We very liked that there was wine and cool drinks that you could purchase while staying here.No loadshedding because they have solar panels. Really great restaurant for breakfast near by.

This is without a doubt the best& most amazing place we have ever stayed on our trip to SA. Not only the location , but a beautiful so well appointed apt in every way & the couple that own & run it. Not only providing a glorious cozy apt but helped us plan sights , Resturants , sunsets , hikes for us who have never visited their country…. How lucky were we to find them& we will never forget them or their hospitality.

I wish I could give this property an 11/10. We stayed one night, and from the moment we pulled in to the moment we left we were made to feel welcome and cared for bh the attentive mother daughter duo that run the guesthouse. They talked to us like old friends and made us feel right at home. The property (common spaces and room) was clean, secure, and well maintained. Our kids loved the garden/lawn area and the treehouse. Breakfast was a beautiful hand made spread. We only wish we could have stayed longer!!
