Very awesome!! We enjoyed it a lot and will be visiting very soon again!!!! Such a beautiful place!!! Just the right place to go away for a relaxing weekend!!!!


Great stay! by

Beautiful house, with a great lapa and boma! Clean, neat and has everything one need to have a comfortable stay. Perfect place to go and have a peacefull, quite rest. Teenager's might find it too peacefull but perfect for weary adults. 



We experienced some unpleasant issues and would like to mention the following to improve the accommodation:
Firstly the directions to the accommodation was wrong and very vague. The board which is mentioned by the turn off doesn't exist.
The house was overall very dirty, there was corn in the microwave that left an unpleasant smell, linen in the loft was dirty and full of hair.
The zinc in the kitchen is blocked and all the water pushes out onto the lawn in front of the kitchen window.
Only one light in the loft was working.
The porch light is connected to the dining room light and could not be left on at night because the dining room is connected to the main bedroom.
It was unclear to us if we could make use of the lapa. It was also very dirty, sails were torn and not in a working condition.
the main entrance sliding door couldn't lock left us feeling unsafe at night.
We specifically asked if we could launch our boat but was impossible to do so without a tractor. We understand that the level of the dam is very low and for that reason we phoned in advance to find out.

Establishment's Response:

I apologise for the house being dirty, the kitchen drain being blocked and the light in the loft not working. It is inexcusable and I would have this issues addressed immediately.
The sails of the lapa were torn a couple of days before by a storm and will be repaired as soon as possible.
As for the directions we would like to improve the amount of boards to make it easier for guests to find the place. As the guest came a couple of days earlier to check if he would be able to launch his boat, it was in his own discretion to bring his boat. We do apologise for the inconvenience it caused.
