Fantastic!
Yes, we had a wonderful stay. The host and hostess were really friendly and helpful. Thank you Janine and Darryl. Thank you also for the Christmas presents on Christmas Day for the children. Even though it was raining, the house was wonderfully large and even the children could be kept busy inside.

Quiet, and beautiful location. Unit has everything you need. The gas grill in particular came in handy for a late night arrival's sausage grill, thank you.

Wonderful beautiful place.
Janine made us feel very welcome. She went out of her way to receive us. She has thought of everything that is needed in the guest house. Enough light during load shedding. Will definitely visit again.

The guesthouse is luxurious and value for money. The owners quickly made us feel at home and we were even able to order dinner at a very reasonable price, which saved us the trouble of going out for dinner again.

Translate to English.
Janine and Darryl were the perfect hostess and host!
Was very nice. Only (constructive) criticism is that there is no fan or air conditioning. For the two nights we were there (15 and 16 February 2019) it was quite hot. We slept with open windows / sliding door, but there is no air flow in the room. I didn't ask for a fan - maybe one was available on request.

Hi Dirk,
Thank you so much for your review.
Our most sincere apologies that you were uncomfortable with the heat during your stay. We do have a standing fan available, but I think something a little more permanent would be suitable in the room. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Warm regards,
Darryl and Janine

The view from The Aloe House over the river is breathtaking.
We were generously received by the hostess, Janine. Our self-catering unit was shown to us and the operation of the Aloe House was explained to us. When I booked, The Aloe House didn't have a restaurant yet, when we arrived it was a welcome thought that we didn't have to buy loads of food to be self-sufficient. We only kept the basic supplies like milk, coffee and soft drinks. The view from The Aloe House over the river is breathtaking. The self-catering unit is neat, spacious, full DStv, own deck that offers a breathtaking view of the valley and river. The unit has coffee, sugar, tea and milk. We saw the osprey sitting in the tree by the river every day. Game, such as warthogs, kudus, ibex were visible on the adjacent lands. Binoculars are available in the unit to spy on the wildlife. But I must tell about Daryl, our host's cooking genius. The breakfast was never the same every day. Daryl makes breakfast as the craze takes him. It was nice. Bacon and eggs are getting so trite. We just had to inform him which meals we will be there so he is prepared. The Aloe House is not that close to the beach but this was not a problem for us. We relaxed so much in the unit with its spacious windows and view of nature that it didn't matter not to go to the beach. You can request that your laundry be washed and ironed for an extra fee.

It is hard to explain in a review how incredible or stay was. Janine was warm and welcoming upon our arrival, as well as during our contact beforehand. The view from the deck is amazing and you notice the different birds (including eagles), different kinds of bucks and warthogs. Lovely and tranquil environment. We will definitely go again.
