everything felt so considered. from the linen to the curated art on the walls to the fresh flowers and stacked wood for both the indoor fire and outside Weber. the outside deck is the perfect place to read and listen to the forest sounds. The rooms are so lovely and dark at night with no light pollution. The outside bath amongst the spearmint and delicious monsters was a treat. the kitchen is well appointed and we were able to prep and cook and plate delicious meals over the festive season. Our hosts who live on the premises popped in to welcome us and Hannes and DP personally delivered a beautiful homemade Christmas tree to us on Christmas Eve. The garden is designed with indigenous plants and trees to give the cottage privacy on the premises. Location is adjacent to the goudveld state forest that we rode and hiked in daily. Being pet friendly meant we could have our dog with us with who integrated well with the friendly dogs loving on the premises. We loved out 6 night stay and hope to find a gap in the diary to go back soon.

The place was exquisite and we loved everything that was offered. Electric blankets for cold nights, extra blankets to use while watching TV, fire wood and lighters, the jacuzzi, and the fact that we were right next to the beach and were offered beach towels 😀. This was heaven and earth combined ❤️ everyone loved and enjoyed their stay and felt at home 😊.

Location on a beautiful, quiet island. The property provided everything we needed - the rooms were decorated beautifully and super clean. Such a lovely warm welcome from Chris. Cher so friendly and helpful with any suggestions of activities and quick to answer any questions we had. And Audrey who was so attentive in the restaurant. The food was sublime - fabulous choice and expertly cooked. Fantastic flavours - I did ask if I could take chef home with me. The cooler weather meant we couldn’t take full advantage of the pool during our stay but we would definitely return here if we had the chance.

First of all, the cleanliness of the property was impeccable. As someone who is very particular about cleanliness, I was impressed by the attention to detail and how well-maintained the property was. The linens were fresh, the bathroom was spotless, and the entire apartment was tidy and organized. As someone who traveled with my 5-year-old son, I appreciated the thoughtful touches that were put in place to make our stay more comfortable. But what really set this accommodation apart was the hospitality of the hosts. They were extremely friendly, welcoming, and communicative throughout our stay. They were always available to answer any questions we had and made sure that we had everything we needed to feel at home. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, child-friendly, and hospitable place to stay.
