“This place is a gem, I can't wait to visit again!”
The accommodation and location was absolutely perfect for our needs. We wanted off the beaten track in a homely and pet-friendly environment, and this is exactly what we got. The hosts, Mike and René were delightful and took exceptionally good care of us with extraordinary breakfasts, pizzas and friendly conversations. I will most certainly be back!

Friendly hosts, both of the two-legged and the four-legged variety, who cooked up delicious fare for breakfast and dinner. Special shout-out to Sally and her ball.

I stayed in The Garden Room which was tucked away and private with a small patio area. The area is stunning and quiet, with easy access to walks and nature. The homemade pizza on the front stoep was fantastic! Thanks for a lovely stay.

I really enjoyed my stay and the owners (and their lovely pets) were welcoming and friendly - even swapping rooms for me because I sadly needed to work while there. The room and bed was comfortable and quiet and I enjoyed having breakfasts on the patio in the morning. The property is close to some beautiful walking trails, a quick drive to the beach and to the Wilderness restaurants, although I enjoyed a lovely dinner made by the owners and preferred the home cooked meal to the one I had in town :)
