This place is amazing! It’s totally secluded and off the beaten path. Think luxury meets the rustic wild. Check in was easy and the grounds keeper attended to our needs so quickly. The views, the stars at night and the open fire pit… no words can describe. I came from the USA for this trip, and it was well worth it! Thanks Owen!! – Linda

The unit was beautiful and matched the photos and descriptions. Paul was very friendly and welcomed us when we arrived. He also organized kayaks and fishing rods for us at our request. The team that came to clean the unit every morning was very professional and discreet, so the whole time we were there, we didn’t feel like we were being disturbed or uncomfortable. The sunrise over the Vaal was beautiful and we were lucky to have great weather over the weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would recommend this to anyone who’s looking for a quiet weekend away. – Cindy
