“Very comfortable stay, great location, excellent views”
Great location within walking distance to town, but far enough removed for a solitude feeling - very nice views from the cottages. Greg was a great manager, welcoming us and keeping everything in order The rooms are very clean and comfortable, we were a family with 2 teenagers We didn’t use the kitchen, but it seemed very well equipped

“A relaxing stay with exceptional service and stunning views”
Great location and views. The property is close to town but still feels secluded. The room was very spacious and the owner thinks of every detail to make your stay feel even more comfortable, from the breakfast cereals to the milk and orange juice in the fridge and everything you need to braai outside. There’s also a full kitchen with a stove when you want to cook in but I particularly like the onsite restaurant that you can sit down and have a meal at or get your food/drinks delivered to your room. Our room had both an aircon, ceiling fan and standing fan which came in handy over the hot summer night. There’s also a large mosquito net above the bed which you can make use of if needs be. I do have to say that nothing beats sitting out on the patio over looking the mountains with a wine in the evening or a sunrise coffee in the morning. I wish we could have stayed longer. 10 out of 10 stay.

“It was our second stay here and once again, very enjoyable. Highly recommended.”
Although it was a self-catering cottage, cereals, yogurt, fruit juice and rusks were replenished every morning - Really cool! The harsh Karoo heat was relieved by fans and air conditioning in the cottage and even by a private little plunge pool just outside the cottage. A restaurant on the property provided excellent meals - delicious lamb chops and lamb curry - yummy!
