Hum Lilly

The location was amazing, secluded and peaceful. Fantastic views of the lake and surrounding areas. The house was great fully equipped and everything you needed. Host Jon provided all details as to how to get there and further information required. Could not fault the accommodation.

Not much not to like.

We absolutely loved the views, quietness, it felt so tranquil! We will definitely be back again!

Had no luck on catching fish! Better luck next time!

Stunning place, love the privacy and peaceful atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more fishing!

Cleaner needs to dive deeper... found dead insects on kitchen counter, cobwebs on walls, couch needs a vacuum as when opened as bed was dirty. Definitely need a second boat! And new rope to tie boat so doesnt float away....

The home is spacious, has a lovely kitchen and everything you need. Beds were comfy.

The road to the property requires an SUV and preferably a Four by Four. It would have been good to have been given this information prior to us arriving, especially as it was raining.

Quiet.

Cleanliness. Many spider webs. not cleaned well

Excellent location and beautiful home

It would have been nice to have a cleaner for and hour or 2

We really enjoyed our stay. We loved the outdoor area and appreciated that it was pet-friendly and felt very safe. The views were beautiful, and the kitchen facilities were lovely and well equipped.

Everything was perfect. The only small issue was the number of flies. We understand it’s part of nature, but perhaps adding a fly trap or two could help improve the experience even more.

Our hosts John & Lisa where fantastic! Quite place hidden away in nature! Clean & tidy guest house with comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay thank you

Excellent family-friendly accommodation. The house was warm, cozy, and comfortable. We traveled with two kids, and the place had everything for kids and adults. Best for a family vacation or even a break from the noisy and fast city life. Also, the place is close to many outdoor activities to entertain the family.

The views were beautiful. Loved being so close to the small dam. We used the fireplaces throughout our stay. It was very cold. Lovely electric blankets on the beds. Loved being able to have our fur babies with us.

It would be nice to have somewhere comfortable to sit on the grass to catch some sun. Very much a personal preference as I love to sit in the sun especially in winter.

very clean. Comfortable beds, lounge coaches, outside coaches, dishwasher and washing machines. We really didnt need any additional equipment

outside string lights didn't work.

The photo’s don’t prepare you for the breathtaking views, peace and tranquility! Well equipped and perfect for a break away with family. Even spotted a Crowned Eagle pair hunting monkeys… Will definitely be back!

The location was beautiful with a large verandah facing a dam with the most amazing birdlife. We got to view the swallows coming to roost in the reeds of the dam on our last evening which was very special. It was the perfect spot for relaxing, reading & board games for some family time together. Rooms were very comfortable & spacious. Twin room at the back (not facing dam) could have had a standing fan but both other rooms were equipped with standing fans & doors that opened onto the verandah. Host was kind to leave dishwashing soap as we did not take our own.

Nothing.

Beautiful location. Bird life is amazing. house very well equipped.

The place is very spacious, I love the view and how quiet the location is . Perfect for a get away from all the noise of this world. I’d really recommend this this place and the damn just adds to the tranquility. Highly recommend.

Maybe lights on the way in would help especially at night and a sign to notify drivers of the mini speed humos on your way in especially those driving low cars

The position is perfect, the scenery is beautiful and the facilities are excellent for a relaxed and rejuvenating stay (just the water was a dampener)

The sulphur smell was exceptionally bad, children couldn’t shower and the smell filled the entire room - made things unpleasant unfortunately, the feel of the water on one’s skin is very strange - the borehole could have the appropriate filters

Beautiful cottage, fully fenced, with a lake. Perfect for the fur babies. Well-appointed bedrooms kitchen, and patio

Na

A beautiful home immersed in nature.

Tranquility

Nothing

Peaceful

The road in, but the weather was bad

Amazing little spot - wish we spent more time there

Would have loved a reverse osmosis water filter in the kitchen for drinking water

The attention to detail was awesome. A beautiful home with great little touches. Peaceful and relaxing. It was the first time we just wanted to sit and relax and enjoy the place rather than meandering in the area. It really is a well thought out, well equipped place

Bring drinking water as bore hole may not be to your taste

It is very peaceful and very homely. The bed in the main en-suite bedroom is very comfortable.

When there is load shedding the battery that is provided only lasted 20 mins then you have no power and no WATER as the pump doesn’t work for however long the load shedding is which when we were there it was 4 and half hour sessions. So became a pain as you can’t do anything like shower, ablutions etc. Had to fetch water down by the pump in buckets.

beautiful scenery, good host interaction when needed. Facilities where top class and the private base dam was well used.

Permanent under cover braai facilities would have been nice, but this is nit picking as there is a portable braai on site.

The road was very scary, very dark at night to travel, but the worst was the mud where we got stuck.

I loved the tranquility of Hum Lilly

no water during loadshedding..

The location by the lake is so peaceful. The big veranda with comfy couches meant that we could sit outside until late, even when it was raining. We enjoyed watching the birds on the lake. Hum Lilly is also conveniently located close to many Midlands Meander restaurants. Next time we'll bring the dog with!

all

Nothing

The location was great, the view from the veranda delightful, it was super well equipped, very tastefully furnished with really lovely touches. Rooms were big, beds, linen and pillows awesome, adequate provision for loadshedding, I couldn’t fault it, honestly.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

Beautiful house. Very open and spacious. No clutter and beautifully furnished. There is a cute lttle fishing boat that my husband and son enjoyed. There are too many things to mention that we loved about Hum Lilly. You can only appreciate the true beauty, peacefulness and comfort when you experience it for yourself.

There are spiders. This is expected of course when you live this close to nature.

Everything was perfect

Nothing, although we’d like to come back in summer again

The peace and quiet and privacy. Neatness of the lovely house which is for your sole use. The fact that you can share this peace of paradise with your fury family.

Eskom power outages which caused water issues too. Unfortunately, out of the hosts control.

the lodge was very comfortable and large. beautiful surroundings and very peaceful.

The weed in the dam has taken over to quite an extend so would be very difficult to fish.
