Wonderful ☺ I loved the welcome and clean environment. I love animals, so having the property cats roam around was awesome. It felt homely. The hostess was so caring and made sure I felt warm and safe, and it was super safe. Good security system.

The hostess was very hospitable and accommodating ☺ It's a self catering facility. Breakfast was not included ☹ The wifi coverage was very weak/poor. Recommendation: If possible if they can some time in the future put some shading in the braai area it will be great
