A lovely group to have stay. Very respectful, and great communication. Would definitely recommend them as guests.
The place was well set up for children and families. The amount of toys and spoerts equiptment meant there was something for everyone. Great that we could take the dog.
We loved this accommodation! There were lots of us staying together for a family wedding. Three generations. We found something for everyone here and especially loved all the toys, the squash court and the communal spaces

We loved everything about our trip! We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, the lake and to the reserves!
We really enjoyed the facility, it enabled space for different groups to find space as well as enough space for everyone to gather and enjoy a meal together.

Why they chose this property
We wanted a mix of beach, lake, bush, and quiet areas. Having the squash court sealed the deal for us, with having a very active and squash loving family.
What makes this property unique
Located inside the property is squash, badminton, table tennis and more. A huge collection of board games and Wasgij jigsaws. Quiet lakeside location.
