Exceptional. We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Country Villa Estate. Danny and Mabel were fabulous hosts from the moment we arrived. We were met with a warm welcome before being shown to our very comfortable room which was beautifully decorated and with everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was superb with different options each day. Mabel is a true artist with her delicious breakfast offerings. Beautiful gardens, comfortable spaces to relax, a truly unique experience.

"We enjoyed our stay here. It was clean, staff were friendly and was close to shops. We just hope that the check-in time (4pm) was a bit earlier to help get settled after a long drive. Fortunately, the front desk staff was able to accomodate us at 3pm."
