All so easy, comfortable, away from Town, relaxing, peaceful. We have revisited for 9 years, every time met with such warm welcome from Suzanne and the Family. The Kids really enjoy getting out of school and away to the Hills for a Braai, zizzz, swim, runs. It is so convenient having the little kitchenette at the ready for them too.... More

Of course it is always wonderful for all of us staff, dogs, family and all to welcome back our returning guests like the family that they become. We look forward to your visit again... More

We were given a spacious cottage with loft room for my daughter even after booking a smaller room and this at no extra charge.... The cooking facilities... More

We arrived in the evening after whole day of driving in the rain - our chalet had heating on to welcome us, and the owner called a couple of time to check if everything was fine. Chalets are in a lush... More

I stayed with Suzanne and her team for nearly two weeks and it was like a home from home. Zoleke and Edith looked after me with that warm South African hospitality I have come to expect. I learned several new Xhosa phrases too. I loved my Rondavel room, my breakfast companions wild or otherwise! Expect sweeping views, Hornbills, Hahdedahs and... More
