Stunning views
View is great looking out over mountain and dam with buffalo, zebra and impala. Units are very neat, practical and very well kitted with everything you need.

Heaven on Earth
Bit of heaven on earth and very reasonsably priced. Chalets are equipped with everything and more. The undercover hot tub and braai was the selling point for us.
