"Ideal place to disconnect from the things that are distracting and recharge while surrounded by nature in all its glory."

Driving up to the owners farm on the red gravel roads really took me back to life on the farm. The roads were in good condition which made life for our rental sedan car a lot easier. We were met by the Stephen and Rita, a delightful older couple. We were welcomed with homemade scones and a refreshing drink. This is their home and they are proud to share it with those willing to take the road less travelled. We were lead up to our accommodation by Rita. Three rather tame zebra were hanging around the front of the property awaiting feeding time. Bonnie and Clyde (so named by the owners) were a joy to watch. We were also welcomed by George the very curious peacock, who was a great source of comic relief. You can sit on the porch watching the Springbok wonder up to get some food as well. There is also a comfortable braai area for those evenings relaxing with the family reminiscing about the day gone by. The infinity pool is also a great addition to the property. When you enter the front door you walk into a completely renovated old farm house. It is well decorated, minimal but welcoming with a lot of attention to detail. The entire property is super clean and the firm bed is extremely comfortable. We made our first coffee in the charming fireplace (real 'old school') in spite of the fact that we could have easily done it using electricity. Having no reception and therefore no internet was fantastic! If you must you can get WiFi down at the owners' house, but not being "connected" has to be one of the best features of this property where you have 75 acres of grounds to explore. This property is a great getaway; a romantic retreat; time well spent with the family; getting back to nature; time to forget about the mad rush. Simply put: idyllic and delightful. Negatives? Not having enough time to spend here. Hopefully easily rectified upon our next visit. Recommendation: yes, yes, yes!
