Enjoyed the coziness of the room- equipped with good sound & a smart tv. Loved the space in the compound- lots to do for fun-swimming, basketball, braii or just resting. Excellent host.

Extremely clean, modern design, fully equipped, quiet and peaceful ! It felt like our own little bubble. Our hosts were very friendly and provided great advice for jogging routes!! The place was cleaned every day and we got fresh towels daily as well. But I was most impressed and pleasantly suprised with the continental breakfast. Normally we do not expect much from a continental breakfast but the amount of effort that went in here was incredible and deliscious (Boiled eggs, yoghurt, muesli and fruit jars, flat break, croissants, assorted meats, fruit and juices!! We tried our best but we could not finish the spread! We enjoyed our stay so much we tacked on two extra nights!!

As much as we got the late, the sun was long gone, I could tell the place is beautiful.. it was so nice and quiet. The room was really clean from inside out. Clean sheets, fluffy pillows... was received by Mark. Nice guy.. and Sharon was such a sweetheart. The breakfast was awesome. Inthira also, with the massage services, as someone who got a massage from a professional for the 1st time, it really felt good. I'm truly happy. I'll definitely be making a return. 🥰🥰

The reception by Thapelo got us off to a great start. We really liked how the rooms were centred around a lavender garden. The interior itself was clean, light and well maintained with a very comfortable bed. Although we didn’t need it, the rooms had ample load shedding preparations which is not always a given. Would gladly be back!
