Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The Cuckoo's Nest was wonderful stay. The staff were extremely friendly and made us feel like we were at home. The building itself looks like a transformed old mansion almost and that helps aid the feeling of homeliness. The meals were great. The location felt secluded and private; however, it was still close to where we were working. The grounds around the residence were well maintained and had a beautiful view of the hills. The bathrooms were large.

Beautyful home with very friendly owners, very safe, excellent breakfast, extremely helpful, nice garden, excellent diner. .... We did not get much sleep due to very noisy guests. They were quiet from 23.00 till 04.00 but for this we cannot blame the accommodation so we would not hesitate to stay there again.

Heerlijk verblijf

Wat een prachtige tuin, echt een verrassing! Ook vanaf het balkon van onze kamer konden we ervan genieten. Heerlijk! Gastvrij onthaal. Eigenaar Mark hebben we regelmatig gesproken en dat is leuk. Lief personeel, een mooi huis, een goed bed, lekker eten, goede wijn uit de wijnkelder, we hadden het heel erg fijn in Cuckoo's Nest. Een plek om naar terug te verlangen. Mark, de baobab is in 2016 doormidden gespleten. Maar nog steeds de moeite waard om te bekijken.
