    We had an amazing time with the kids in that Estate. The place is very friendly and cosy, the staff is so kind and welcoming, and the food was really good. There are plenty of animals around and our day of safari in the Kruger was the best. Thank you very much to Fabian, Karine and their team!

    From the moment we arrived, everyone was warm and welcoming. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The chef and the team were attentive, and each meal was beautifully presented. The breakfast menu offered plenty of variety, and the staff were happy to accommodate special requests, especially helpful with kids who can be fussy eaters.

    The place is absolutely beautiful and Fabian and his staff are great. Everything is decorated and maintained perfectly. We also had dinner there and I had the pleasure to taste a one of kind drink from La Réunion that Fabian offered me. Unforgettable stay. PS: Best regards to my tall friend. ;-)

    The overall place! It was an intimate stay, clean, peaceful and close to other activities. I particularly enjoyed how attentive the owner was to each of the visitors. So quaint and well run.

    The venue could have more comprehensive breakfast options. The continental breakfast had slivers of meat, and the portions could be slightly larger. The signage at the location could have been better lit.

    The facilities, room and surrounds were stunning. The decor within the rooms and the venue itself was artfully and skillfully curated. Some of the craft and arts had contemporary aspects and African heritage that were astounding. The local locations and ease of access exceptional. The view and local wildlife that frequented the venue were a grand site to behold. The activities around the area were also close and simple to reach.

    The property situated in a private reserve. It has a swimming pool with an open bar. My friend and I saw wild animals while we were sitting by the pool. It is a quiet place where one can enjoy the sunshine, the wine, the friendship and everything wonderful. We enjoyed the time staying there. Also the game drive trip arranged by the owner was really gorgeous!

    If I had to be picky... the dinner timing. The food was served more than an hour after the stated time, our kids fell asleep at the table waiting (we had travelled a long way that day).

    The welcome, the location, the setting, the homely feel, the setting, the staff, the food, the luxuriousness, the outdoor shower! the wildlife strolling around.
