Everything it was a wonderful week-end thank you, I would highly recommend Wendy's Cottage. Lowrina was wonderful at all her duties, nothing was a problem for her, she had great knowledge about the Safari Park.

Anne Australia

The place far exceeded our expectations. The rooms are beautifully decorated and styled. Well thought of design and layout. Lots of antiques. gardens meticulous and well manicured. Very friendly staff and the host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Lovely 3 course dinner. teas and coffees in the room and extra blankets for the cold weather. The place was most convenient for us as this was a half way place to Hlabisa.
