Stayed in the Stone cottage overlooking the valley. Great little self catering place to stay. Sufficiently equipped for a comfortable stay. The food at the restaurant was great value for money and tasty.

Absolutely beautiful place. Lovely place to enjoy nature, so calm and peacefully. You can enjoy and relax in the amazing sunsets. Have a braai or special party, the manager will help you , the venue is nicely equiped, has a fridge freezer and bar facilities (you'll need to stock it) You can enjoy your party inside, or outside on the deck. Toilets are available for men and women and very tastefully decorated.

Stunning views all around. Perfect for rustic weddings. We were the photographers and we got beautiful shots from all around the venue. The driver took us up to a mountain and it was breathtakingly beautiful up there. Hope to visit again!
