    Location was key for us as we had a team competing in W2W, the cottage was perfect! The outlook over the fields with the impala and springbok was magic. Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the hot tub but it was beautiful!

    Very pretty property. Nice to have buck grazing in an adjoining field. Hot tub in a great location on the veranda, under an oak tree. Took a couple of walks down to the river, along with the friendly resident dog.
