Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to create the most magical wedding for us. It was a weekend we will never forget and we have to compliment you all on your professional service, very obvious teamwork and "nothing is too much" approach to each and every guest! The braai was spectacular, the accommodation was exceptional from the cottages to the lush lodges, the service was impeccable and the attention to detail at the wedding did not go unnoticed. Compliments also have to go the babysitting done with such love. Grazie mille a tutti!!! We will be back.

Dear Kathryn, and staff at Mosaic. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for your exceptional service on all levels. This year, I have had the pleasure of interactions with your lovely establishment; first in May when our daughter, Kirstin, got engaged to Clayton at a romantic beach picnic your staff arranged. Recently, my sister from Atlanta GA, brought a group of guests to stay with you. They have not stopped talking about their experience! Despite traveling through SA and Zimbabwe for 3 weeks, and staying in amazing lodges and hotels, have been unanimous in their vote that Mosaic was their best experience. As a 'nearly-local' Stanfordian, it gives me much pleasure and pride to be able to recommend our local treasures. Please convey my sincere appreciation to all concerned.
