RakshaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a lovely peaceful stay. The location and views are stunning and we enjoyed our hike on the property. Celia was great with our arrival and stay and organised a hamper of local produce for us. We enjoyed the hot tub and star filled sky but unfortunately the day we got there was extremely hot and the cabin filled up with insects in the evening. We have a sedan vehicle which was a challenge on the rocky dirt road and if your vehicle sits quite low take note of this. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend if you’re looking for some peace and solitude.

Mountain View Eco Cabin

SimbuleleRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This cabin was exactly what we needed after a hectic week—the serenity was truly unmatched. The scenic views were breathtaking, and the peaceful atmosphere made it impossible to leave. We arrived late, but Chantelle kept checking in on us, which was so thoughtful. Upon arrival, Marc was there to welcome us, show us around, and share some great recommendations. Their hospitality made the stay even more special. It was so relaxing that we ended up canceling our plans just to stay in and soak up the tranquility. A highlight of our trip was spotting elephants right outside—Chantelle even messaged us to let us know they were nearby! This was one of the most peaceful stays we’ve ever had, and we truly can’t wait to return!
