This is a beautiful place with a friendly host. The children enjoyed the pool and trampoline. Sehr schöne Anlage mit sehr freundlichen Leuten. Die Kinder liebten das Trampolin und das Pool.
What a wonderful place!

We've had three lovely days and will most certainly be back. Liezl, thank you so much for the most delicious breakfast and the wonderful dinner you prepared for us. You are a wonderful host. The cottages are very conveniently located, an easy drive to Schotia, Addo and Pumba. Don't miss the sand dunes in Colcester, they are most certainly worth a visit.
Underpromise, overdeliver!

We stayed here for four nights in early february and had a great stay. We felt very welcome and enjoyed fantastic hospitality. Liezl and her team gave us some pointers for the area which were great as well. We also had the pleasure of tasting the suppers which really deserve recommendation!

Thank you Lezl for your hospitality and friendliness. You made us feel completely at home, and your accommodation was great. I will definitely return if passing that way again.

We stayed for 3 nights, very quiet but good location for game safari's which is why we where there. The cottage was very spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The owner was great help and her good suppers made up for lack of restaurants near by.
