The cabin is brilliant ► it has everything you need. The furniture is so beautiful and of a very good quality. The location is excellent, with awesome scenery.

When we arrived, there was no electricity - NOT the host's fault. It was planned ESKOM maintenance from 06:00 - 18:00. However, the electricity was only restored at 21:00. Again, not the host's fault, BUT there were no candles or rechargeable lamps in the lodge, which meant we sat in the pitch dark from about 18:30 - 21:00. This was quite unpleasant.
