Alles bestens, würden sofort wieder dort übernachten. Simon war sehr nett und aufmerksam, zauberte tolles Omelette zum Frühstück. Wunderschöner Garten, toller Pool mit genügend Liegestühlen. Die Lage in Hout Bay war optimal für uns

Vielleicht könnte man über eine Klimaanlage in den Zimmern nachdenken

Tolle Sicht, schöner Garten, gutes Frühstück. Sehr sehr netter Service. Das Zebrazimmer hat einen tollen Balkon mit wunderbarer Sicht.

Das Zimmer, vielleicht das ganze Haus, ist hellhörig.

The safari type rooms are charming, each one different.. The hosts welcomed us with tea and hone made cakes and they were so helpful and friendly The grounds are a paradise set in the Hout bay Valley The staff are all exceptional, polite, efficient and friendly. Simon is a star, I don’t know what we woukd have done without him.. a true gentleman and an asset to Thulani Lodge,

There was absolutely nothing to dislike about the property.
