"Infrastructure is basic and enough. Rustic African decoration. Good service. Attention to detail. Excellent breakfast. Double bed was extremely comfortable. Beautiful place.On the downside I would point out the lack of signalization to get there. Is actually not that difficult. But at night, looking for signs that are not there and street names that have been scratched off, it gets a bit challenging. Strongly suggest you print out a map of the area with the specific address. Confirm address as the link from Safarinow had a wrong address. Also the toilet is barely separated by one wall, so not much privacy for our taste. Its far away from restaurants, we learnt afterwards that is better to ask the owner to start the fire and you can make your own bbq (bring your meat)."
"Susan really went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. Her guesthouse is very cosy. We had the most enjoyable stay. We be visiting again."
"We stayd 2 weeks and we enjoyed it very much."

"Suzanne is the most wonderful hostess I have ever had the privaledge of meeting. Went way beyond the call of duty. It is refreshing to see someone that truly cares about someone else's well-being. She is really considerate. The food was amazing. Presentation is breathtaking. Room was exquisite! I could not be more happy. Was an absolute awesome stay! I will be back!"
"A very comfortable and pleasant stay indeed. The hospitality was great."
