What reviewers say

Guests frequently praise the exceptional hospitality and the owners' willingness to go out of their way to ensure a good experience. However, a common complaint is the proximity to the N2 highway, leading to significant road noise, and some guests noted that appliances could be updated and the internet is slow.
