The best staycation for couples that just want to reconnect.

Pros: There’s no reception at the lodge which really enables you to spend quality time with your loved one. No distractions and you can easily reconnect with nature. There’s absolutely no need to drive out for anything. All meals were prepared for us during our stay.

Cons: Nothing at all

Absolutely incredible!

Pros: Absolutely incredible! We enjoyed every single minute to the fullest. Our hosts, Peter and his daughter, were unbelievably kind and helpful – nothing was ever a problem! The accommodation is brand new, modern, well-maintained, and spotless. The entire property is clean and beautifully kept. The ladies in the kitchen were an absolute dream – I felt like a princess! The food and service were fantastic. But the best part was the evening conversations around the campfire – truly unforgettable. I was genuinely sad to leave the lodge. Thank you for everything and for these wonderful days! We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

Cons: There’s absolutely nothing to complain about – except that we had to leave.

Pros: The place is absolutely stunning and very tranquil, the staff are hands on and very attentive tinyiko, patience and another lady who cleaned our room were so welcoming and friendly. Janke our host was available at all times when we needed anything from her despite her not feeling well she went an extra mile to ensure our stay was great! Truly appreciate that.. It was my wifes birthday on the 15th of April and they really made sure that she enjoys it. Facilities were great especially if you're looking for a relaxing experience this place is exactly that.
