"Beautiful Garden Estate"

08 May 2018

"The accommodation was nice, special attention needs to be paid to overall cleanliness and maintenance.The kettle needs to be replaced and the bathroom a deep cleanOther than that the stay was very nice and will definitely come again."
"Fabulous Accommodation"

29 April 2017

"Lovely place to stay, very neat and clean and well equipped. Spent a week at this complex with my two adult children. Found the manager and staff very friendly. Enjoyed our complimentary trip to The Heads as well. Only complaint is that it would be really convenient if we could have had an extra gate control as we didnt always come and go at the same time. Would be good for management to have a look at that. Loved the morning and afternoon visits from the Guinea Fowls. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to this beautiful spot!"
"The apartment"

07 March 2017

"The accommodation was very nice and well serviced and was very secure. The directions are not correct, Pam Goldings office moved a couple of years ago and it is one kilometer up the bank and not 500 mtrs as advertised. The road is steep and used by locals going back and forth to the township so not ideal for walking."
