My daughter and I chose this property as it was close to the Shongweni Equestrian Club where she competed in the SA Youth Champs. We were very comfortable and appreciated the attention to detail provided by our host and Gail.

A lovely, fully equipped unit in a serene place. A home away from home. The host was accommodating on my late arrival.
