Magical. Exceptional, magic. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable - nothing was too big or too small for them. The thought of bringing breakfast to the house instead of us having to go to the restaurant when it was raining just speaks volumes of how considerate they are. We had guests for dinner one evening at the restaurant - again, their hospitality, quality, presentation and tasty food (the different flavours shone through) and service were exceptional - our guests cannot stop on how much they enjoyed the evening. Not to take away from the setting, the house itself and also the restaurant - quiet and peaceful so much so that we did not want to leave. We will recommend the accommodation to anyone who wants to spoil themselves and their companions.

Royal treat. It was an absolute experience! Jannie and Martiana's hospitality knows no bounds! The accommodation is truly breathtaking and the decor is exquisitely overwhelmingly perfect. We couldn't stop staring at all the art and other decorations. We went from room to room and sat and watched for a long time to appreciate everything. Jannie's conversations show years of experience and expertise in various fields, with a deep understanding of the Bible. Martiana makes the most delicious food imaginable, but her curry remains the winner! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We felt truly royal!

Have a good time with the King and Queen in their castle! Visit the King and Queen in their castle and be received as royal guests. It's a must see. You can't stop looking around. The view to the mountains is also picturesque.

Thank you for your positive reference. However, it is a pity if there is dissatisfaction because your expectation seems to have been higher than what we offered you. From our side, there is again by far an overwhelming feedback from guests (especially the majority who are from abroad) who feel that we charge too little for what they experienced and received, even compared to many luxury establishments worldwide where they regularly visit. But we must continue to improve and will seriously revise where necessary. If you can point us to specific aspects, we would like to improve them so that the perception of value and your satisfaction with it can offer more to our guests. Thanks again for the supportive feedback. We wish you all the best and good health.

Words alone cannot explain the experience that we had during our visit. Thank you, Martiana and Jannie, for sharing your piece of paradise with us. My husband, King Tony, truly lived up to his nickname as we felt like royalty. The guest house is filled with fascinating pieces that they have collected over the years. I'm an early bird, and when I opened our balcony door, I was greeted by a colorful array of birds having breakfast by the pond stairs. The ducks gracefully dived into the water, swimming along without a care in the world. And let's not forget the adorable ducklings that made their appearance when they thought we weren't looking. The sunrise over the mountains in the morning is breathtaking, and when the light hits the stained glass by the front door, the formal lounge lights up in a beautiful red glow. The weather over the weekend was a bit moody, but in my opinion, it was perfect as it enhanced the feeling of being somewhere in Europe. You would never think that this incredible experience is just around the corner. We had dinner every night at Martiana and Jannie's home. On arrival, our table was set up in front of the fireplace, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Martiana is a talented cook, and the portions were generous and full of flavor. Tony, with his sweet tooth, thoroughly enjoyed the desserts. We had breakfast every morning, and let's just say that you won't need lunch afterwards. Jannie told us about the river on the property where we could use their kayak. Sadly, we ran out of time, but we did have the opportunity to walk down to the river and experience the tranquility that he mentioned. Thank you once again for everything!
