“An oasis that felt like home!”
The property is super well kept, tranquil and offers a relaxing stay especially if you’re coming from the city or having travelled long on the R62. I would highly recommend staying here as the hosts are very friendly and helpful regarding places to visit in the surrounding area. It truly felt like a home away from home and like staying in an oasis fully surrounded by trees and singing birds. We look forward to coming back here and staying a few days again!

“Nourishing and deeply restorative.”
We loved the energy of this space, we loved opening all the doors and resting in the room with the breeze coming through. The trees and garden are so nourishing. We felt so held and contained in this beautiful simple perfect space. Penny our host was so present with us and our needs. She communicated so well with us.

Location was amazing, surrounded by lush garden and trees. Lovely deck opened onto nature with the sound of birds. Hosts were super awesome and the unit was very well equipped. We had a very peaceful relaxing stay and highly recommend this unit if you need to recharge and get in touch with nature.

“I enjoyed my stay of two days and would go back”
The facility was clean and comfortable. Lovely garden and lawn in the back flowing down to the river. Lots of shade and protection from wind. Nice restaurants all around as well as a hotel just down the street. Dinner at the MUD restaurant was top class. Owner gave complete instructions about the facility and also restaurants around town. I would happily got back to the Willows
