It was fine. Nice chalets. Clean. Nothing fancy, just basic. OK for the weekend.

Verified review
This was a very good relaxing place to be it is very quiet at night and the birds wake you up in the morning, the dirt road of 3km make you feel you in the bush, I used it as a base to visit all the tourist destinations in the area and find it affordable but best of all need and clean with the necessary luxuries. The hosts Hippo and Johan make the place so welcoming that you do not want to leave. I will definitely go back and the mosquitoes did not worry us at all Thanks for a relaxing week Kobus
