Impeccable service by our host. Our unit is clean and well equipped for the stay. We had access to free bikes to explore the island, which was a nice touch. Highly recommended, and we would most certainly stay there again in future.

The location of the house was very good. It was very safe! The backyard was very beautiful, with a nice outdoor area and a large pool. The house was very large and spacious, the kitchen was fully equipped. The pool table was a good way to spend time. The rooms were large and comfortable. We had a great time there! Definitely recommend!

    The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

    Lovely cottage for a couple. Unbelievably well equipped with loads of storage space. Modern bathroom and cozy lounge area with TV. The small outside garden is lovely, lots of trees and birdsong. Quality cast aluminium table and chairs and two big gas plates embedded in a stainless steel table for cooking. There also is a portable braai.Lovely hosts
