Anniversary getaway

The setting was amazing. Simplistic, but all that you need. The hosts catered to our every need and even prepared a special anniversary dinner.

Immersed in nature

The scenery and the setting were amazing. The accommodation is immersed in the bush and is right next to the flowing river.
