Petite chambre sympathique, nous avons bien dormi. Le logement est idéalement situé à 2km du parc Hluhluwe, un gros plus ! Cependant, la peinture venait d'être refaite et l'odeur était extrêmement présente. La cuisine était d'une propreté à revoir... bel endroit extérieur pour dîner. Bien pour 1 seule nuit.
