Quiet and beautiful. Lovely to disconnect.
9.0Gorgeous location, quaint little cottage. Amazing views of the river.
− The host didn’t confirm our check in time and didn’t answer the phone when we tried to call several times. We were originally unable to get inside. Thankfully we found a neighbour who spoke just enough English and my husband understood just enough Zulu to get in contact with the cleaner who was able to help us locate the keys.
Perfect off the grid stay

− "Road" entrance to cottage area at gate needs attention. To get the keys at the lodge the gate took forever to open. Press button sign does not help if there are 14 buttons on 2 intercoms to choose from.
It was relaxing and peaceful. Our dogs absolutely loved it as well. Living off the grid for a couple of days is good for
