    Beautifull place. Friendly host waited until we arrived. A long drive to tents, but worth it. Make sure to take your own food along for lunch or dinner, specially if you arrive late. Excellent breakfast in restaurant with beautifull view. Will...

    Beautiful, tranquil setting. We stayed in the tented area with a shared ablution block. All facilities were clean and well maintained. A braai facility and bag of wood were provided at our tent so there was no need to use the communial braai area.

    Peaceful in nature, the perfect break on a long road trip. The breakfast was exceptional! Fresh fruit with the yummy French toast. (I'm sorry I thought too late to take a photo and post a review on Instagram for you - presentation was very classy.)
