Very concerned and caring "hostess". Very comfortable and clean. Wonderful views and beautiful night skies. Very convenient to Grahamstown without being in town. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Suzanne.

All so easy, comfortable, away from Town, relaxing, peaceful. We have revisited for 9 years, every time met with such warm welcome from Suzanne and the Family. The Kids really enjoy getting out of school and away to the Hills for a Braai, zizzz, swim, runs. It is so convenient having the little kitchenette at the ready for them too.... More
