    The view over the valley at sunrise is worth the early start. Bring warm clothes, the nights are properly cold in winter.

    Quiet, cool and green. Wi-Fi was good enough for video calls. The only thing missing was a second set of keys for our group.

    Great value for a family. The children lived in the pool and the caretaker lit the braai for us each evening.

    The solar kept everything running through a long evening power cut and the borehole water was strong. Hosts met us at the gate and had the fire laid.
