When we left, we could feel that we had a good night's sleep behind us.
When the friendly hostess invited us in, we were immediately struck by the cleanliness and spacious rooms. The guest house was adequate for our short stay. We would recommend the provision of bed mats and a shower mat.

Our stay was indescribably nice. Would definitely stay there again. Any two of the options.
The owners, Leon and Sonja, were excellent. Sonja makes the most delicious breakfast, the linen and rooms were always beautifully clean and of good quality. Our week was just too short, next time we want to stay longer. The safety is highly rated, the hospitality of both was excellent! Haven't had a hostess who spoils her guests like that in a long time. Great stay! Thank you for such a lovely vacation spot.

Cosy, safe and welcome feeling.
Our hostess Sonja went out of her way to help us. She even delivered packages for us. I would only suggest a box in the bathroom where you can put things please. and to open all the windows (customers can close them themselves. Provision was made for load shedding - bedside lights worked without power and additional light in the living room. The garden is brightly lit in the evening and where you stop with your car .Breakfast was delicious.

Disappointing.
The unit was not checked by owner. Kitchen was not cleaned at all. Refrigerator was dirty inside, the glass panels had food marks on them as left by the previous guests. Microwave and air fryer just left after people made food in them. Crockery was greasy as if it had just been rinsed under a faucet. Dirty sponge in sink, one dish towel that needed a wash. Kitchen floor not swept or washed at all. The kettle is plugged in in a difficult place and is not cordless so it had to be pulled out each time to use. A few items are short in the kitchen such as milk jug, tea cups, tea towels, extra dirt bag, sponges. The bathroom was acceptable, but with a quarter of a roll of toilet paper and two dirty mats from the previous guests. Bedroom needed a sweep and wash. Two bath mats were used for bed mats. When we arrived, it was not explained how the door, which has a strange locking organism at the very bottom of the door, worked, nor how the lamp for load shedding worked. Generator switch is in the unit - extremely inconvenient for guests. Living room needs attention. Just a bank lost in it. The place needs attention and must be checked before guests can be received in it. It was really not a very pleasant stay. A guest should not clean a place before staying in it, totally unacceptable.
