The property is very beautiful. It is quite rural and very charming. The decorations in the main building are so lively and comfortable. The original paintings by the owner are great. The whole staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is wonderful. There is wonderful hiking right out the door.

Relaxed haven
Gem of a hotel - place is a converted farm at the end of a 3km dirt road. Central building with reception restaurant etc and various smaller buildings with the accommodation. The while place has a slightly hippy feel to it - but with comfort and good food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Public rooms are very welcoming - a variety of eclectically decorated lounges - some partially open which actually make you want to spend time there - lounging. Dinner was a fixed menu - very well executed. Breakfast was also very nice. Room was comfortable and a decent size. It is nice to see a properly lit hotel room with the lights in the correct places - i.e. the ceiling. A few condition issues - shower had not been properly sealed to plaster on the wall was in trouble and the shower itself could have done with a light. Somewhere I will definitely return to.

Very beautiful property with plenty of space to just relax, reading a book and enjoy the nature. The only sound that you will hear will be the sound of the birds. The downside it's the lack of choice for dinner since you have to stick with the whole menu.
