23 November 2009
The house was great: big, roomy and well appointed without any undue embellishments. Most importantly, it was secluded and thoroughly tranquil, with lovely views of the dam, and great help from Petrus the attendant. Great value!
Great!

We had a fantastic weekend. Peace and quiet, excellent service from the lodge's management and a special word of thanks to Petrus, who looked after us the whole weekend. We will definitely go again. The Meyer Family, Pretoria.
