NOT 4 STAR NEEDS MUCH TLC
Our booking was done based on the pictures on Hotels.com. The drive down to the house is a bit narrow and steep which was ok in the day but not so sure at night. On arrival we walked around the house to find the office and was asked if we were early. Lizette checked and said the room was ready and asked us to sign in. After doing so we were taken to our room with the first visit being to the toilet after a long drive. There were still faeces in the toilet and the bathroom had not been cleaned. Told Lizette who called the maid who apparently was new. Then found that actually the room had not been serviced, linen not changed etc. Also the glass of the door leading to the balcony was broken and she said there may be some wind noise. No offer to cover the broken glass. The area around the pool was plain concrete and the lounges rusted. The patio was dusty and generally the place needed a lot of cleaning and TLC. By this time any rustic magic was gone and we cancelled and found alternative accommodation. Lizette's comment was "oh well we will have another booking within the hour" so guess she was not perturbed !

Difficult to Find
I had booked this lodging as a stopover en route to St. Francis Bay. The house is very difficult to find even with GPS, down a narrow, badly potholed lane. The room was okay, but no toiletries (e,g shampoo) provided, and the only soap had obviously been used by previous guests! The house did not provide dinner. I asked the owners for suggestions on restaurants and drove around looking for them but never fund them as instructions were so vague. Had minimal sleep as my room did not have blackout curtains and there was a bright security light outside that kept me awake. I left before breakfast. Considering the high price, I would never recommend this place.

Absolute gem of a find!
Quite remote, which adds to its charm- a little like stepping back in time but with all the mod-cons. Very very welcoming owners and staff - would love to have stayed much longer. Magnificent views and surroundings are outstanding- tropical gardens and a birdwatching paradise. Will definitely be back !

Delightful retreat
We arrived at this oasis of tranquillity on the day of a family funeral. However we were greeted warmly, our room was ready and we were made to feel very welcome. We spent a lovely afternoon sitting in the grounds of the guesthouse, listening to the birds whilst we sipped our tea and read. Later on when we were trying to organise a taxi to take us to a local restaurant for supper without success; our host, Ria, offered to drive us herself and collect us later when we had finished our meal. It was an extremely kind gesture, especially considering the circumstances. The following morning we were served a delicious breakfast on the veranda. The service, food and location were perfect. Thank you!

Historical house
Just like an english manor house with great period features. Spectacular river views. Room was delightful with period furniture and a good size. The hosts are delightful and very friendly. It was a shame we could only stay one night.
