What an amazing experience staying at Taunton Manor, Beatrice greeted us and was an absolute delight. The Manor is a five star stay, beautiful decor, and no expense spared . We will definitely return and look forward to seeing Beatrice again. Many thanks, it was a perfect way to end a memorable family holiday in South Africa.

Such a tranquil little hide away! The stream running through the property makes you feel like you're miles away from anywhere. The owners are lovely and had great suggestions for local places to eat. The outdoor area brings the outside in and doubles your space to chill out with a book or cup of tea. We even had their beautiful Boarder Collie come hang out for the afternoon. We loved it so much we extended our stay - absolute oasis!
