“Damien was an amazing host. Too much to put in one sentence but will be back for sure.”
Rustic old farm houses that have been done up beautifully with interesting decorations. Location is remote and extremely peaceful. It’s not flower season but still so much to see. Loved everything

“Majestic!”
Loved the absolutely friendly host and remoteness of the stay. Izzy (Iziba) th Cheetah, is the absolute Queen of the show!!! Was a very humbling experience to be so close to such a beautiful and amazing endangered animal.Damien, Ryan, Neo, absolute legends! Keep on doing what you’re doing, we need more humans like you . The night sky was definitely in line with these special people and special animals! A special shout out to Gypsy, a most special doggy, that kept us company and was a great guide on our walks!

“Fantastic”
The tent was perfect and advised. The little White House was also good, but to many insects. My friend who slept there didn’t sleep because of all the insect bites and the zooming

“If we were better prepared it would have been a lovely peaceful stay.”
Once inside the cottage it was lovely and spacious. Area is very quiet and peaceful with lots of birds. The sunset was amazing.

“Never again. Don't go there!!”
There was absolutely no ventilation. The room smelt of smoke, was dirty and the carpets were full of devil thorns. The shower was too dirty to use. The room had obviously not been cleaned after previous guests and bedding not changed.. Unacceptable outside tap to wash dishes.

“Off the beaten track. Superb if that’s what you’re looking for.”
The quirkiness and remoteness. A lovely hippie haven with the most spectacular stars at night. Lionel and his dog, Gypsey. welcomed us so genuinely and enthusiastically that we felt really special. The bunches of fresh flowers were a lovely touch. Please note that we stayed in the chalet and not in the tented accommodation.

“Quiet remote relaxation in a cozy cottage with beautiful views”
Wow! One of the most authentically beautiful places we have stayed at. The owners have poured their hearts and souls into this cozy little cottage, furnished with real Morroccan chairs, lanterns, cushions and lights. Lovely indoor fireplace. This cottage oozes charm and history. And the setting.... spectacular: Remote in the valley with beautiful views. Also a lovely little pool for relaxing in on hot days. Our stay is a cherished memory that will stay with us.. Thank you.
