What a beautiful place! Inside was immaculate and cozy with well-labeled cabinets and plenty of towels. Lots of morning sunlight streaming in and hummingbird feeders all over the yard. I especially liked using the electric fireplace to warm up after a night out. Kristie was a very kind host and accommodated me after I arrived in the evening due to a delayed flight.

I had a great stay! Kolibrie Huis was a perfect tiny house. It was clean, well equipped, comfortable, and centrally located. The garden and private patio were very peaceful with real hummingbirds around.
