We had a lovely stay at Gustav's place. The views and surroundings are beautiful and the house has enough space and we loved the outdoor kitchen. I highly recommend the place for a group of friends :) I would also like to point out how amazing Francis is!!! He helped us a lot and made the stay, check in and check out extremely easy! He was also really cute with our dog :)

We loved our time at the Kaaimans River Deckhouse. Travelling back and forth by rowing boat and kayak added a nice twist. The house is enormous and ideal for a large group of people. Super braai and kitchen. The outside shower was an unexpected bonus. A real African experience.
