A wonderful stay at Evergreen. The accommodation was spacious and comfortable and the farm is ideally situated in a quiet area in GM. Rob and Lynnie are the best hosts you could ever have- warm and inviting and just nice people. I hadn't been to the Groot Marico in 4 years and I was reminded of how beautiful and relaxing a place it is. Will definitely be returning.
