The lodge provides guests with a terrace, mountain views, a seating area, satellite flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and a dishwasher, and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. Some units feature a balcony and/or a patio with river views. One of the most beautiful accommodations we’ve ever stayed. We stayed in villa 10 and there were rhinos, buffaloes and much more animals next to our house. The design of the villa is on point: brand new - huge living room & kitchen, braai area, hot tub and you have your “own” chicken. The family who owns the farm is so lovely and welcomes you with open arms and hearts. We will definitely come back and will show our friends this little piece of heaven on earth. We already stayed in other much bigger game reserves but this stay was one of our South Africa highlights.

A lovely house in the trees, with a view. Quiet, cosy, stylish and comfortable. Great veranda to sit out on, and eat or read. Very convenient for the beautiful Garden Route. We wish we could have stayed longer. All the houses on the property are well separated from each other and not overlooked.
