Sharon is so lovely and we felt right at home. The place is located close to one of the gates of Kruger and was the perfect base for exploring the South. We had everything we needed and were taking care of perfectly! Would recommend without doubt!

Sharon is a great host, we went here for a night before our Kruger visit, very convenient just 15 minutes from the gate, and we decided to book another night after Kruger. Great value for the money, great hospitality, very nice place.
