Reviewed May 1, 2025The chalet is well equipped with everything you'll need for a comfortable long or short stay. We appreciated the good quality fresh linens, fynbos bath products. The views at every time of day are breathtaking. Spent hours on the porch admiring the natural environment. Sunsets, stargazing, owls on the chimney and safe walks along the paths close to chalets were highlights of our stay. Can certainly why the owner chose to name it Big Sky ! Lovely restaurant a short walk down the paths was a big plus.Their salted caramel cheesecake is delicious.
The bed is on the firm side, so took getting used to. We only had neighbors for one night during our stay, so fairly quiet. As a friendly suggestion..The wall between the units requires soundproofing.We didn't use TV, in case it disturbs the neighbors. If staff could clean the braai and remove bin bag during our stay would be great.
