11 guests' feedbackBest service and hosts are excellent.
The hosts, jovial Don and sanguine Berto went out of their way to make things comfortable in spite of the challenges of load shedding - and a huge thunderstorm! We booked the Rhino room, and it did not disappoint: real wooden floors, spacious, with a super view over the Albert Falls dam. Safety is top-notch with windows and doors fitted with Trellidor burglar proofing. We appreciated the pleasant farm atmosphere and the absence of noise and other city-like distractions. It was a relaxing stay and consider it to be good value at the price.
We had a very nice 2 days at Mon Desir. Service is very good and the owners are very hands-on with their guests. Pity we did not have WiFi at the cottage, as we had an 18-year-old with us, and we all know how they love their phones. However, it was not the end of the world because we were so busy we did not even miss anything.
If I knew better I would not even have bothered.
We enjoyed our stay and the way our host went out of his way to accommodate us and make our stay a pleasure.
We enjoyed our stay. It was very difficult to leave. We had gone there to unwind and breathe fresh air and that is what we got. Don and Alberto were fantastic hosts, it was like meeting old friends who were very accommodating of our needs. We rocked up there with our teenage son, our 7-year-old daughter, and our little dogs - and Don immediately freely upgraded our room to a cottage to allow us space. We all had a fantastic time - our little dogs made new friends there. My husband went fishing at Albert Falls Dam and caught a big fish. He couldn't wait to show Don and brag. Alberto's meals were home-cooked and delicious. A simple breakfast was like heaven. Well, good things end eventually, but we will definitely go there with the rest of the family that stayed behind.
Beautiful place very relaxed scenery is everything, food amazing. Donald and his partner were such amazing hosts I will definitely recommend it to anyone anytime of the year.
We loved the place, peaceful and nice.
The surroundings are beautiful, the food delicious, but the hospitality was outstanding. We are still talking about our pleasant visit. And already recommended Mon Desir.
They are also pet-friendly for small pets.
