Reviewed Jan 6, 2026Die Lage am Stadtrand ist ideal. Gut auch für Ausflüge und Wanderungen. Die Vermieter haben uns wichtige Hinweise zu Routen und Orte gegeben. Sie waren sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Sie machten uns den Aufenthalt zu einem guten Erlebnis. Wir können sie gerne empfehlen.

Reviewed Apr 25, 2025Had fantastic communication with Bry prior to our arrival. She answered all my questions and gave us great advice on local restaurants etc. We had a wonderful greeting on our arrival, just sad that we did not spend longer in beautiful Tzaneen, definitely on the bucket list to come and stay longer. Thank you Bry and Ryan for being so welcoming and friendly. Mairi-Anne and Mark G

Reviewed Sep 30, 2024Bry and her husband were so lovely and welcoming. The facilities are clean and feel like you are visiting a home away from home. They went above and beyond to share some places to eat, visit and grab delicious coffee. When we back in Tzaneen we would definitely be back, especially for a longer stay.

Reviewed Aug 5, 2024Over all the accommodation was fantastic with a kitchen that meets all your basic needs, unfortunately we did not get a chance to test out the braai facility but it looked great too !
If I had to be picky...... some extra milk for a cup of coffee would have been the cherry on top. Other then that there wasn't anything not to like about our stay.

Reviewed Jul 30, 2024The property is well kept and the hosts are friendly but not intrusive. I was there for work so the accommodation was very pleasant to come home to and relax before heading out the next day. The property was equipped with anything you could need for self-catering. I especially found the bed comfortable and the view out the back door beautiful.
