“Far from the Madding (maddening ) Crowd. A Peaceful, comfortable and relaxing break. Wish we could have stayed a week.”
Everything. It was quiet and surrounded by trees and nature. The unit was perfect with two large en suite bedrooms, (one upstairs) a well equipped kitchen and a lounge/dining area, under cover patio with a braai and its own small fenced garden area. Perfect for containing a two year old. Very comfortable and homely. We will definitely be back for longer.

“Best Place We Have Ever Stayed”
We travel often and Masescha is absolutely the best place we have ever stayed. Our hostess, Cheri, was so welcoming and friendly and made it feel like home from the minute we arrived. Nothing was too much and our visit exceeded our expectations because of her. We immediately made our next booking at check out and we cannot wait to come back again.
