The balcony with the braai was a great spot for drinks and dinner. Kitchen area was well equipped and the hostess very attentive to our needs, making for a relaxing stay e.g. informed us of expected load shedding and provided a gas ring for use if necessary. Didn't actually use the pool but it looked lovely and the grounds were very well kept. An immaculate property, highly recommended. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua Mar 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property in a beautiful location.
