5 guests' feedbackA perfect getaway from the hustle of the city without having to drive very far. It being only 1h30 from Benoni meant we could leave after a half day of work and still enjoy the first "day" away. It's important to buy all your groceries beforehand though, because the stores are quite far out and the gravel road requires patience for smaller cars or less experienced bakkie drivers. We also loved that the house is completely off the grid. We would definitely go back for a longer stay.
House was beautiful, surroundings quiet and peaceful.
Our stay was perfect. We were especially impressed by: Neat, clean, well-kept house and property. Child-friendly/family-friendly home. The kindness and care of our hosts. The space and comfort of the house. The peaceful and beautiful nature surrounding the accommodation.
The lodge was very neat and well equipped for a lovely visit. Excellent location for peaceful woodland walks. The lodge is highly recommended.
Wonderlike, pragtige, gerieflike, privaat, rustige 5-ster-verblyf.
