Good for loadshedding business
Great for business. Good esk, excellent WiFi and full generator for loadshedding
My family of 5 rented the cottage and 2 garden facing studios, #3&4 and we all had a great stay.
Comfort in every aspect. Would definitely return. Shopping and eating is within a short walk or drive. Everything needed is provided. Cleanliness is a priority.

The beautiful garden, swimming pool, and walling distance to shops make this already a great location but it geta even better with the air conditioned rooms, backup generator power, and best of all the hospitality of the owner/manager. They were always acomidationg for anything that we needed. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in thw area

Great stay
Great stay. Apartment was clean and comfortable and had all needed amenities that make you feel "at home". The staff was very attentive as well, and the communication was good. The pool and backyard of the facility is very nice as well!
Owner was professional yet friendly (husband’s 4th visit, my first). Spotless accommodation, thoughtful food gift as we arrived late at night. Gorgeous setting, tranquil garden, quiet location close to dining options. A “hidden gem” indeed❤️❤️
I gave them a lower rating because that the water was shut off for a complete day in witch it ruins the fact that could not take a shower nor do any laundry although they did try to help by providing buckets for flushing the toilet I believe that if the water has been on ,it was for the most part close to 5 star rating
