Amazing

Pros: The pictures on the website/booking.com are not doing this place justice. Please relook into this and get a photographer. the place exceed our expectations. it is really beautiful. We booked Malalingwe close by Unit 257, we had our own private outdoor fireplace, we had a breakfast on Sunday by the dam, such a beautiful car picnic with the damn view. The place is family friendly as well. I will definitely come back.

Cons: Liked everything
