The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom had both a bathtub and shower. There is a nice pool and the place is nice and quiet. The hospitality was great. Mandy communicated with me before I got there and made sure that I received all the info I needed, including pictures of how the place looks and the location. The checkout is late, so we could sleep in

They provided all the appliances you would need when travelling. They were fast to respond to anything I had a problem with in my room.
There were no lights outside the yard, I struggled to recognise the property in the evenings.

Mandy and everybody we interacted with were lovely people, they really made our stay a pleasurable one. The various fruit trees were laden with fruit, and this was another nice surprise. Such a beautiful, serene place, with warm loving people.
