The host Riaan was amazingly friendly, and very helpful in many little ways. He also gave good recommendations for dinner. The king bed with the electric blanket was just the best.

Lovely well kept cottage. Homely atmosphere the minute I stepped into the cottage. Fire place makes it extra special. Open and modern lay out very practical. Crisp fresh linen and towels. Wish there was time to relax in the courtyard. Highly recommended 👌 

No complaints.

Best place I stayed in whole of South Africa! Cozy, extremely well equipped and nicely decorated. Everything was comfortable, cozy and thought through, I highly recommend for a short or long stay in PA. Very large and comfortable bed with heated blanket, gas heaters provided too. Above all, host was very friendly and helpful, and reacted very quickly to my last minute booking.
