“If you’re after peace and tranquillity, this is the place to come. The house is equipped with everything you need to be comfortable and is finished to a really high standard. The outdoor seating areas and the pool make for the perfect holiday setting. The hosts are beyond helpful. The views and the starry skies at night are worth coming for alone! We’re definitely coming back next year!”
“Heaven! We were a group of 3 ladies that needed to destress, relax and we could not have picked a better place on the planet. None of us wanted to leave and indeed we are ALL planning return trips. It really is in the middle of nowhere and we stayed in the separate lodge and truly felt we were on safari in the Serengeti. It was precisely what we wanted and we were prepared - make sure you are well stocked up and just decompress and enjoy. It was a spectacular stay:)”
“We didn't stay at the hotel, we stayed at the house. The house was wonderful, the view, the pool, the peace. I recommend it, it exceeded our expectations. We went for the second year and we will definitely return. ❤️”
