Enjoyed the setting
Leonie Van Rooyen, South Africa
09 May 2012
Whilst we have enjoyed the setting on the bank of the river as well as the peace and tranquility, we were disappointed with the filthy furniture which was totally unacceptable as well as the fact that the cottage was crawling with ants. The above factors spoiled our stay at the cottage hence the reason for leaving three days earlier. We also had extreme difficulty in negotiating the roads on the farm, and resulted in very little game viewing.
Peaceful

For peace and tranquility, this is the spot to get away from it all! Ideal for a couple who need some real timeout together. No tv, no radio - absolutely splendid!
Best time ever
Linda Botha, South Africa
10 January 2012
This was our best time ever - just what we needed. I Googled a place in the bushveld, and this came up! We will be back for sure. Everything was just perfect - the ambiance, nature, quaint little cottage, peace and quiet, game, bird life and running water. And the fact that we could take our three Yorkies with was fantastic! They also enjoyed their time. Thank you.
Awesome
Heidi Janzen Van Vuuren, South Africa

It was awesome. Just what we needed. No TV, no radio, just the sound of nature. When we arrived we were welcomed by a "welcome card" with a bottle of wine. We had privacy the whole weekend. We went for long walks.
Most enjoyable
