“It was lovely.I cannot wait to go back with my wife, kids and two grandkids.”
We loved the shared kitchen space.It was so well equipped.We also loved the braai facilities and everything was so neat and tidy.We were also very well received by Carol and access in and out the gate was super easy and convenient. And then of course having those beautiful horses and donkeys roaming around, so close,was really cool.

My family loved staying here in one of the family rooms. The accommodation is basic but had everything we needed. The owners are lovely and accommodating. The setting is stunning and so peaceful with great views of the mountains, and is nice to have the animals around. Our only regret was that we only stayed one night!
