Gorgeous house, excellent service!
Yellow house at Sanctuary was a real pleasure to stay at. The house is beautifully set in the yellow fever trees near the lake, with zebras roaming the grounds. It is very comfortable, spacious, and well-supplied, and the Sanctuary staff made us all feel at home. We'll be back!

Yellow house stay August 2025
What a fantastic place! Such a great house, built in the old style with high ceiling, decorated with wooden beams, generous rooms well decorated , great interior design to the entire house, and at the same time very comfortable and modern. Attention to detail is superb, kitchen is well equipped to host a large group, fire place in the house is divine, and eating on the veranda while wild life is grazing on the lawn is out of this world. we love it and be back for sure.

Feedback on Yellow House
Beautifully built property on Sanctuary Farm. Everything was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed access to wildlife at our doorstep. The only thing I would say needed improvement was the mattress on the baby cot and the showers in 2 of the bedrooms, which unfortunately were practically unusable as the shower heads were not working properly and virtually no water came directly down. Also, the temperature control on the shower could be improved to find a comfortable temperature that is not extremely hot or cold. The restaurant was lovely and we enjoyed the fresh food. If 'room service' could be an option (with an allocated vehicle for deliveries) I think this could significantly improve the experience. Thanks for hosting us! Will definitely reccommend!
