As much as we got the late, the sun was long gone, I could tell the place is beautiful.. it was so nice and quiet. The room was really clean from inside out. Clean sheets, fluffy pillows... was received by Mark. Nice guy.. and Sharon was such a sweetheart. The breakfast was awesome. Inthira also, with the massage services, as someone who got a massage from a professional for the 1st time, it really felt good. I'm truly happy. I'll definitely be making a return. 🥰🥰

Absolutely Everything! Estella was really efficient and even though we arrived late, and we hadn't informed her of our arrival time due to technical problems, she welcomed us and made us settle nicely. The breakfast selection was as good as you can find in a good restaurant. See photo. We stayed here for 2 nights and had the pleasure of selecting 2 diferent main breakfast options. We also met the David and Patricia, the owners. Such wonderful hosts and we enjoyed talking to them very much. David showed us around his property and made time to find out more about us. The property is very well kept. The gardens are a delight to see. Would love to come back in full bloom to enjoy the space more. This is a gem in Jo Burg!

The room looked way better than the booking.com pictures. The welcoming was thoughtful. Gavin is kindhearted and a great host. The breakfast was really great- I enjoyed it. The property is located close to restaurants- I didn't go out but could see the surrounding area has a great lively vibe. Oh and the dog was friendly..didn't terrify me at all..
