About the host
Hosted by Chantal Settels
South Africa has always been very special for us, starting at the first visit after the end of the Apartheid. We, Serge and Chantal got together through a homeleave trip to South Africa with friends of ours many years later and dit not only fall in love with the country but also with each other! We tried to come back every year since that time until early 2014 this house unexpectedly came on our path. Now we enjoy it as a family and we want to share this very special gem with others. Quoting Hemingway: "I never knew a morning in Africa that I woke up and that I was not happy '. South Africa: an experience for your bucket list!
Why they chose this property
Expensive private game lodges ask a lot of money for this view. Time and time again if you are lucky enough to be spoiled by a passing troop of elephants that come to drink in front of the terrace, or if you suddenly spot the giraffes, but also if the cheacky wharthogs stumble through the plants, or you see the Kingfisher looking at you from a tree, life around you kind of stops. I dreamed of Africa, now it can be your reality!
What makes this property unique
Safari while sitting on your own terrace, most of the tourist highlights within driving distance, the freedom and privacy of a self catering accommodatino with option to Bed&Breakfast and having all the perks of a hotel, all for a reasonable price. What more do you need to make this a trip of a lifetime.
