    Beautiful lodging and very comfortable. Each of our rooms were well equipped-stove, oven and fridge with plenty of dishes and flatware. The grounds of the property were beautiful. Great value!

    This is a great value for backpacking and young travelers. Great space and facilities for those who are traveling as such. We used it as a one night layover but for us, a family traveling with elderly and child, probably was not the best fit...

    The room had everything one needs for a self catering Kruger stop over and was very clean. The farm is beautiful and we enjoyed all the farm animals especially the ginger cats. Petra is very friendly and welcoming.
