    Everything was perfect, the only thing we would change is that the pool is unheated so in the winter it is very cold.

    Amazing cottage with a private pool and braai area. Very beautiful and fully equipped with everything you might need. Amazing location inside a private reserve with animals like giraffes, warthogs and kudu. Good location to visit Kruger as well as many other highlights like Moholoholo or the Blyde River Canyon.

    Certain things were missing, ice trays, hair dryer, scissors, kindle for fire pit, ability to switch off the pool in order to listen to nature, outside lights not working and noisy aircon & ceiling fan.

    Loved the stunning location, scenic views, peaceful walks, early morning jogs, visiting wildlife, and the incredible on-site game drive!

    Better lighting in the kitchen, broader range of utensils, a working pool light, extra box of matches, bath towels that are long enough, at least some provision of basic things such as cooking oil to name a few.

    Overall all was on point, can't complain

    It would have been a nice bonus if the spa was heated. The gas ran out and hot water stopped working but this issue was resloved quickly, within half an hour once we contacted Sander.

    Sander was an amazing host, he picked us up from our bus drop off location, took us to the supermarkets to pick up food (as we didn't have a car) and was very welcoming. He explained everything very clearly and kept in touch with us throughout our stay, offering to take us to the supermarket and even took us to our car hire place at the end of our trip. The accomodation itself was large and beautiful, quite romantic (for our honeymoon), it even had a spa (shame we didn't use it...it was too cold at that time of year). The photos online didn't do it justice! It felt very private and secluded and we could enjoy seeing warthogs and mongoose from our back porch. We were able to do bush walks from the cabin and it took us about 20-25 minutes to walk to the town centre if we needed anything or wanted to go out for a meal.

    Loved everything about the property. water pressure from the showers was perfect. Power is supplied through solar and gas so we didn’t experience load shedding at all. The property is close to convenient shopping stores yet secluded enough for some quiet time, peace and tranquility.
