Enjoyed the coziness of the room- equipped with good sound & a smart tv. Loved the space in the compound- lots to do for fun-swimming, basketball, braii or just resting. Excellent host.

Nice property, the grounds are very pretty. Vasco was a great host and made sure we had what we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was good and just a short drive from the airport. I would definitely return. Thank you for looking after us.
