Good, but could be much better.
The area, rooms and service was great, but the restaurant can be much much better. Every dish I had was extremely underwhelming and plain bad.

Perfection
A simply fabulous 3 night stay. Our cabin was large and so comfortable with an out door shower. The view was superb and the food was absolutely excellent. One evening the hosts created a brai for their guests which was such a great experience. We enjoyed our chats with everyone. A perfect 3 days. .
