Dear Deon and Karin,I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful stay at your beautiful accommodation. Your place is not only stunning but also incredibly relaxing. I enjoyed such restful and quality sleep over the past two nights, something I haven’t experienced in a very long time.For the first time in ages, I found myself reluctant to pack up and leave this morning. Your sanctuary has truly been a much-needed retreat for my mind and spirit.Thank you once again for providing such a serene and comforting haven. It’s a rare gem in today’s busy world. Cecelia Burger

Wow, 5 stars for this place! Amazing spot for kids, most beautifully styled Airbnb I've stayed at in the whole of South Africa. The design is really special, and the place is very clean. The kitchen equipment was really nice, it was great to have nice pots, sharp knives and the milk frother. Solar lamps were a lovely touch as well. Thank you Karen!
