Absolutely beautiful here. It’s about a 3 hour drive from Cape Town, the last stretch is a bit bumpy but it’s worth the drive. We were greeted at the reception house and escorted to our accommodation a short way down the road. The spaces between each house is big enough to ensure privacy and the houses themselves are amazing. The house has two big bedrooms, sleeping up to 4 adults and 2 kids. The lounge is spacious, all with high thatch ceilings and a fire place. Fully furnished and everything you need in the kitchen. The outside deck has a large fireplace for braais, is well lit, under cover if it rains and the view is stunning. The splash pool overlooks the beautiful view. And to top it all off, the rooms each have a large bath with shower as well as an outdoor shower. Such good value for money. Highly recommended
This could be really special but the place is in serious need of maintenance work and a good clean. Please do something before it’s to late. Broken sink taps, broken bedside lights, door handles of front door coming off, cupboard doors falling off the hinges, old and badly broken couches and chairs in the sitting area. We were in Kilimanjaro unit. The views are beautiful. The staff were great. The framework is there just spend a bit on the upkeep and you have a gem for a long time. Some form of backup lights would be a bonus. Not our first visit but sad to say that unless the owners do some work here, it may be the last. Many places available at similar rates but in great condition.
Stayed here for few days in December. Almost left after a day.. So much potential, but a lot of maintenance needed. Dusty, don't know when place was last cleaned. Sheets had holes in, kettle was rusty, couches are due replacement. Fridge was full of water, literally poured out when we opened it. Kitchen utensils missing. Terrible experience
