Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This stay was the tonic for just what we needed. Spacious, quiet, very well equipped and clean. Our daily Angel allowed us to enjoy the sounds and sights of nature in peace. Apart from the load shedding, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
