Guest review

5.0

Very close to where I needed to be. Private entrance. Clean.

Security light then daylight coming in above head when in bed due to curtaining, not blinds. Fridge was noisy on and off during night. I asked about boiling some eggs and got a very half assisted answer, and didn't ever even meet Mike. Only met the domestic lady who gave me keys.

I love the property, very warm and friendly host. The location is perfect. It's my go-to accommodation in Makhanda. The rooms are comfortable with a heater and electric blankents, perfect for winter in Makhanda.
