It was such an amazing experience. To be able to see the stars at night is something else. Would love it to return and hope it rains. I mean, even when it was cold... there are blankets, electric blankets, and a heater. Views were amazing. Hosts are very friendly. Loved them

“A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Nature”
From the moment we arrived at Masinga, we were enveloped in a sense of tranquility and warmth. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this unique retreat offers an intimate escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Lynn, our gracious host, went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Her attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. The breakfast she prepared was absolutely delicious and a perfect start to our day. We also appreciated the little touches, like the honesty-box spaza shop stocked with snacks and drinks, and the bath supplies adding to the charm of the place.

“A stolen moment of peace in a world of chaos”
It was so cute - a total IG aesthetic dream - but there were 2 exceptional things; 1) the stars above me while I lay in bed. A JHB girl doesn’t get to see the same sky as you do in Hillcrest & it was just beautiful. 2) the outdoor bath! Not only is it just such fun to have a bath outdoors; but it was SO deep and honestly the best bath I’ve ever had. Plus, those stars I mentioned before, they’re there too!

I just loved being there though the weather tried to ruin our fun & couldn’t enjoy an outdoor braai on the lovely deck.
