Warm welcome

We only spent one night at the house cottage. We were warmly welcomed. The cottage was clean and well equipped. It is in a quiet area with safe, off-street parking.

Very nice stay in a nice place.
Very comfortable
Lynn Goodrum, South Africa
04 January 2010
Spent a weekend in Harrismith so we could do a bike ride through the golden gate nature reserve, ideal place to stay to do this. The accommodation was very comfortable and had all one would need, it was spacious and the beds comfortable. The kitchen was adequate and there was secure parking for the car and trailer and bike. We will be back to stay for the rhino rally in October.
