Very very nice place, the owner Christine is amazing, goes out of her way to accommodate you, and make you feel comfortable. Will definitely be staying here again for the Roof of Africa 2026. Thank you Christine.

The road towards entrance needs attention

Great value guesthouse! The room was big, everything was clean and the shower had good pressure. There is a well equipped full sized shared kitchen with a fabulous dining area. The owner was super friendly and accommodating even though we showed up late without a reservation. Highly recommended if you have your own transport. The streets to the property are doable in a 2wd car, but the driveway to the rooms is tricky in wet weather. Check with the owners where to park before entering.

Very friendly owners, we felt very comfortable and had a great stay 😊. You should definitely use the shorter route from the B21 north when you have a small car to get here.
