Perfect nature getaway
This little oasis is everything you need for a breakaway from the city and a breath of fresh air. We had such an amazing time. The units are all so beautifully decorated and very well appointed and the hot tub is a must. They are also very private and even feature an outside shower.

The best stay
Incredible three night stay in Woodpecker cottage. The absolute quiet was definitely needed. Truly a different experience.

Highly recommend this place!
What a lovely place to chill and relax. Everything is of good quality. Love the peace and quiet. Great views from the hot tub. Great sunrise and the stars at night are just so beautiful. Loved seeing the springbok drinking water from the dam and grazing so close to the cottage. The bread delivered each morning with farm fresh milk is just next level delicious.
