"Seeing the pigs mooching around in the orchard and the garden"
27 August 2017"We had a wonderful stay in the old farmhouse.Everything you could need was to hand and the house lacked nothing.Enough seating space for 8 people. We went for long walks on the farm and enjoyed the county life."

21 December 2015"Charming place to get away for some R&R after a tough year. The house and bedroom sections amply accommodated 6 friends and we had a wonderful time. The only drawback were the flies, in their hundreds, that we encountered on a daily basis."

"Spacious relaxation"
03 April 2010"Our husbands took part in the Epic Mountain Bike race, and this was a perfect overnight venue: 3 huge en-suite bedrooms where everyone (including 2 babies and 2 toddlers) got a good night's sleep without disturbing the others, and a huge kitchen where the men could prepare for the following day's racing without getting in each other's way. There was more than enough space in the fridge to accommodate 2 families' food, including toddler and baby food, and of course all the fresh pasta waiting to be cooked!! The clincher was the washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher - all which were well used by the time we had left 4 days later! If our husbands had not been racing, the lovely patio and braai area, as well as the campfire overlooking the olive orchard would've been well used too. The hosts also sent an email beforehand explaining exactly what was available, so we were well prepared when we arrived."
