My mom and I stayed here for a long weekend. It was so comfortable and exceptionally peaceful; you didn't actually want to go anywhere except the beautiful verandah to relax. The house is very well equipped and we even had rusks and cappuccino sachets in the kitchen. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable and the showers lovely. We only wish we could have stayed longer.
