South AfricaWe had a nice stay there, even though we broke a few rules, James was still nice to us, very nice I should say.
South AfricaFabulous location - very peaceful and relaxing. James was a great host, especially since it was over Christmas and he had family there as well. He never made us feel we were impinging on him at a busy time. The breakfasts were lovely and a huge assortment of food. We loved the extra touch of Christmas fruit mince pies made by his daughter - they made our stay so much more personal.
