    Pretty much everything. Charmingly decorated little place that matched the old Karoo style, but with a modern touch. Perfect location, within walking distance of pretty much everything – just off the main road.

    This is a super cute cottage, conveniently located. Wonderful design choices and homey. Perfect for our family to have the two connected cottages. It’s really wonderful.

    The property is beautiful - a work of art. Some welcome amenities were provided - tea/coffee, rusks and wood. The hosts clearly pay a huge amount of attention to what they do - everything is carefully thought through.
