“My stay was comfortable and awesome!”
I liked the location of the cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated with modern interiors. The Karoo products was great! It was fully equiped with all household items needed. And most of all Emma was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely book that specific cottage again!

The Manager & Owner tried to help us shift our stay by a week but they were fully booked. (We were so looking forward to staying there). So we didn’t get to stay but our interaction with the Manager was superb. She went way and beyond the norm in trying to make alternate arrangements for us. We missed out on the opportunity to stay in that room but we got to experience someone very kind, genuine & solution oriented .
