“Luxury meets comfort 🫶🏽”
We loved everything about the property. It is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, clean and homely. Every part of the house was well thought of. Our 5 year old had plenty to keep her busy and excited, our teen absolutely enjoyed it too. We would visit this place over and over again. Gina is an incredible host 🫶🏽. Made our family of 5 feel super welcomed. All our needs were met.

“Calm and serene. Beautiful except for the baboons that came to do their rounds ofcourse.”
We did not receive all the forms required for passing through the security gates and had to connect with the hostess. This caused us stand in front of the main gates for almost 30min just to complete the form that was required for us to enter the premises.

“Bliss”
This beautiful home could not be situated better. I dont think any of the surrounding houses have a better veiw! The house was well thought out, the spaces are open and uncluttered, the rooms and bathroom arrangements are perfect. There is a feel of absolute freedom because there is no boundry between You and the veiw and the golf course is literally metres away. Quite and relaxing with no disturbance. The home owner makes guests feel so welcome by not bombarding guests with rules and notes and instructions, it genuinely feels like visiting a family members home. This is a home we would recommend to anyone and it is a home we can only wish of visiting again. Thank You!
