    Had a Rat problem found one in the kitchen and could not get the second one, but the smell was terrible. The power kept going off every couple of minutes so aircon and fans could not work properly! This made sleeping at night very difficult.

    The location and the pool !

    Right on the Crocodile River with a lot of game roaming around. Excellent outdoor braai/ boma facilities with plunge pool. Spacious fully equipped kitchen. Ice machine was a bonus. Fully serviced by Bheki who was a great host.

    The location of the kitchen is not ideal when using the downstairs braai area, however, all outside areas are most enjoyable.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the visits by the large variety of animals. The bushbabies were a special treat. The stay and location of this house is very good value for money. Bheki was delightful and is a valuable employee.

    The stairs is a challenge, but with the monkeys kitchen upstairs made sense.

    Lovely comfortable house with great view of the river. House has everything you need! Bheki was amazing, not only taking care of the property, but sharing knowledge about the animals!

    Bheki could wash/squeegee/wipe all the floors and counters everyday just to make the place a bit cleaner. It is very dusty this time of the year.

    Good location, good view, the facilities were good (braais, kitchen, dstv, ice machine, etc, etc), a nice house all in all.

    Only drawback was the place needs a bit of maintenance, Bheki advised it will be reported and fixed (Fridge Freezers were not working correctly, aircon was dripping water inside room, insect meshes need fixing, gas brai only 2 out of 4 burners working) Not a train smash but needs some attention

    Location was excellent Bheki was brilliant We had a lovely time, really enjoyed ourselves Rate a very good power inverter system during load shedding
