It is a restful and enjoyable place

Pros: I liked the location that it is close to the river and some wild animals to marvel at. The establishment has expansive green fields and looks marvellous seeing it from your room. Christa, the owner, warmly welcomed us and we felt at home the moment we arrived. He kept in touch with us regarding what to expect and checked with us what we might need to make our stay comfortable.

Cons: Nothing to mention

Comfortable and peaceful

Pros: Enjoyed this peaceful farm lodge away from the traffic. Lovely views from the room over the farm with various buck grazing. Woke to zebra outside as well. Very pleasant dinner and breakfast. The dirt road to the farm has just been re-done and was good. The R65 approach does have potholes but really not a problem. Welcoming staff, a friendly atmosphere.
