Accommodation was clean, comfortable and great value for money. I would definitely recommend having a car as there is no restaurant on site, however you do have the option to use the kitchen there. A lovely fresh breakfast is served in the morning and we were lucky enough to see a family of Warthogs going past. ##### Talisa Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wicki Damm Feb 23, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tranquility, hospitality and friendship We now consider us frequent guests.
