Weekend stay overiin nature

What a lovely place! In between the mountains surrounded by nature. Hostess was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the surroundings and attractions. We stayed in the comfort room with a queen bed which was perfect for a one night stay. The pool was a nice add on and we didn't have any issues with the wifi. Breakfast buffet had many options to choose from and was delicious.

Het was heel algemeen. Tussen mooie natuur. Loslopende dieren op het terrein maakte het extra leuk. Het enige wat je zeker niet mag vergeten is een spray tegen muggen want mijn benen stonden vol na het buiten eten in het restaurant.

A piscina estava excelente, o pequeno almoço incluído era muito bom, fizeram-nos um duplo upgrade gratuito e o staff muito amigável e prestável. O único senão eram as águas para beber que tinham um sabor estranho e parecia pouco higiénica e o wi-fi no quarto não funcionava bem.

Einfache Unterkunft auf einer Straußenfarm. Umgebung sehr ländlich. Sehr gutes Restaurant, wo man auch einheimisches Wild essen kann. Bei unsere Ankunft sind gerade ca. 50 Küken geschlüpft. Vorsicht vor dem dortigen Trinkwasser, ist für unsere Mägen nicht unbedingt geeignet !!!

Super Unterkunft in toller Lage.

Die Unterbringung war sehr gut, die Räume waren groß, sogar eine Terasse war dabei. Alles war sauber und hat uns gefallen. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut und das Abendessen im Resatuarant (Straußensteak) war fantastisch. Gerne würden wir hier wieder buchen und können es nur empfehlen, da die Unterkunft auch sehr zentral gelegen ist und man viele Attraktivitäten wie z.B. die Straußenfarm oder die Tropfsteinhöhlen gut erreichen kann. Auch die nahe gelegene Cango Wildlife Ranch oder die Buffalo Ranch sind von hier in kurzer Zeit erreichbar.
