Better than the pictures. Absolutely wonderful staff and the chef is great. Loved every bit of this stay. And the house wine? 10/10

Lovely, clean, neat and VERY comfortable guest house.
The personnel were super friendly and went the proverbial extra mile to make our stay as memorable as possible.
We had a lovely breakfast, enjoying fresh, high quality fruit & yogurt, followed by a warm and scrumptious, cooked meal.
The premises and gardens are immaculately maintained and with vigilant security guards on duty, we were safe and secure, and could come & go as we needed.
We only spent one night, but Will most certainly return, when we need to attend to bussiness in Pretoria or surrounds, again.
