Reviewed Aug 21, 2026When we arrived, someone was already waiting for us. No struggle to get in!
They gave us a lovely braai pack - all the equipment you could need for a braai and no need for us to unpack the car looking for our equipment. They give you the option of a restaurant too.
Facilities were clean and functional. The rooms were lovely and tastefully decorated.
Staff and owner were friendly and available but we were given our privacy too.
The location is perfect. I would definitely stay there again!
Mosquitoes - but that is the area and they did have nets on the windows. We left the door open (our mistake) but once I used Peaceful Sleep, it was fine.
