Beautifully clean, modern unit. Cute theme, lovely gardens and excellent location. Car park is a little small when other guests arrived with multiple cars. No reception on site but check in was easy.

The Rondawel Cottage is a unique slice of Africa. It is very comfortable - a wonderful place to relax. Matilda and John are lovely, friendly hosts who offer a range of extra experiences including African food, massages and their condiment range. It's a special place to stay that is hard to leave.

Listen, I think I can hear nothing...

Africa cottage is a great place to relax and unwind. We booked the Cape cottage and spent most of our time sitting on the deck feet up reading. Every now and then looking up to see birds or lizards climbing the massive tree that shaded the cottage. We visit the area often and will be making Aftica cottage a return call. Next time to try the meals !

Ok place

Would have given a much higher rating if there had been a shower mat and no dead cockroaches under the couch !!!
