Positive Reviews

Great property for a real bush experience

Travellers looking for a different experience far removed from the city enjoy this property. Its secluded nature and the wildlife, that roam the area, including zebra and giraffe, create a unique experience. Guests also love the beautiful scenery that includes a waterfall and gardens.

Owners create a family-friendly atmosphere

The staff who run this property are very welcoming, according to posted comments. Reviewers praise the staff members for being very accommodating and helpful to guests, as well as being great conversationalists.

Private cottages are top quality

Visitors report that each of the private accommodations are well maintained and clean, with a good selection of rustic-style decor. The range of features and amount of space that is provided also lends to comfortable stays, according to reviews.

Negative Reviews

Finding the property is challenging

Locating this property is difficult for many travellers. A lack of road signs makes it a challenge to find, according to online reviews. In addition, access roads are found to be in a relatively poor condition.

Not all cottages have electricity

Reviewers note that only some of the cottages at this property offer electricity. This comes as a surprise to many, who state this fact isn't clearly mentioned in advertisements, and is considered inconvenient.
