Tranquil paradise
We absolutely loved staying here. We stayed in the love room and it was so peaceful. Grounds are stunning and we loved all the friendly animals. Wonderful view of the mountain and river and the braii was delicious.

Not as advertised. Roof leaks and no water
Not as advertised! The roof leaked so much the entire bedroom got flooded! All our stuff got soaked. At some points there was NO WATER (This outside of when the electricity didn't work). It was also very noisy as the tree kept slamming the tin roof at night.
Depending on your preference the mattresses are all quite hard.
The wifi didn't work even though it said connected.
