4 guests' feedbackAbsolute serenity. Such a beautiful place to stay and unwind. The host is fantastic and took us out to the farmhouse, and the food provided was amazing. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Lindy is very welcoming and the farmhouse is very nice and tidy. However, it is a pity that we were not informed beforehand or during the reservation that there is no power on the farm and that this has already been the case for 2 days. It was not load shedding. A generator was provided for the few hours before we went to bed, but the farm is very far out of town and remote and everything was pitch black and there is no security or cell phone signal on the farm. No hot water to shower after our long journey due to the power. The door to the living room is completely open (looks broken or something can't close and lock) and no burglar bars in front of any of the windows. All rooms have large, open windows that a large person can easily climb into. The evening was very unpleasant. Dark, hot, without any working fan/aircon and very worrying in terms of security as well as location. Advance provision must be made to buy necessary items before going home because it's about a 35-minute drive back to town. Our arrival was after 4 pm and we waited a long time to be able to check in and it was almost dark when I had to go back to town for cold water/ice/food etc. Ground road also needs a "high clearance" vehicle.
Lindy is a wonderful hostess. Besides her kindness and care, the place to stay is wonderful. Als is elegant, tasteful but comfortable and homely. Next time I plan to stay longer!
This is not recommended for an overnight stay, but would be great for a longer period, and if you have a 4x4. The house is really huge, with multiple attractive rooms, suitable for a big party and is well furnished and equipped, on a working animal farm with truly spectacular countryside, as all around Philippolis. However, the roads to the town have a fair amount of potholes (though we've seen worse) and the sand road to the farm could be a nightmare in the wet, needs a 4-wheel drive. Would have liked to stay longer.
