Positive: A lovely place with a lovely host. She puts a lot of attention to the details to make everything look nice and cute. You find all facilities you need - hot shower, common area, a nice kitchen, and a garden. I stayed here while exploring the Blyde river canyon, and can really recommend this place.

Negative: A bit of a road to drive on to get there, but it works!

Summary: Lovely place at a lovely price
