Unpretentious paradise

Super friendly hostess. Everything was explained to us on arrival and she was available if we needed her. The room was spacious and lovely with a beautiful view.

Not staying longer. I would have liked to enjoy more of the farm/hikes. It's really beautiful there!

The communication and client care

There was nothing not to like :)

We loved it. This was our second stay as the first one was so great.

8.0

Great location. The owners were around and engaged with the guests. The area is beautiful. The food was amazing.

The wifi did not really work. And we also didn't manage to log into Netflix or Dstv. It wasn't such a big deal because we were only staying one night, but good to know that in a location that is in between farm and nature, connetivity can be an issue.

An absolute gem off the beaten track. Definitely a must visit.

The accommodation was amazing, exceptionally clean and the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful

We saw the farmer's son or the farmer and were not greeted at all. To make it a perfect experience, it would be beneficial if the owner was friendly. That way the guests do not feel like they are intruding on someone's private property
