    The cottage was clean, stocked with firewood, and had everything we needed for cooking, the staff take a great deal of care in keeping the property neat. We were also left alone for the duration of our stay to enjoy the tranquility of the bush...

    The accomodation was super for the family with 3 adults and a 5 year old. The safari tours were wonderful and both catered to what my grand son wanted to see. Highly recommended for a family holiday 👌
