What a stunning location and beautiful rustic home. Ginormous double bedroom and king bed, spacious living/lounge room and quaint twin room. Well equipped kitchen, just enough room to swing a cat! Made use of the braai area and lush walk around the lake. The view is outstanding! The upmost hospitable host ever! Thank you for our stay, we will be back again soon! Kayleigh & Matthew, UK

Run down. Shabby and musty. Furniture ancient. Barely space for 4adults in the so called ‘open plan kitchen, dining and longe areas. Appliances old. Website said that there was a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. We didn’t carry food hoping to eat there. On calling the owner he insisted that there was never a restaurant on site. We had to leave immediately. Drove 150 km back home. Most annoyed. Overgrowth on the path to the lodge scratched my brand new vehicle. Pissed off.

At peace in this beautiful part of our Country. Needed a place to rest for just one night - took the Nottingham Hill Road Offramp and chose this Guest Farm. Tranquil and beautiful setting, comfortable bed, adequate kitchen, hot water and great for long walks.
