Great property. Had a wonderful stay. Cannot complain. The property was supplied with minimum supplies. Couch was very uncomfortable (it is not the couch you see on the photos)but didn’t bother us much as we were out sightseeing. Other than that it is a beautiful place and location is great.

My husband and I were vacationing with our daughter and son in law. Hakuna Matata was well stocked with everything we needed. We were able to cook meals and even used the barbecue one nightto cook out. The patio is set up for eating outside. The view is beautiful and it was a such a nice night. Communication with the host was very easy. She was proactive and reached out to me before check in and check out. We really enjoyed our stay at Hakuna Matata.

Wonderful!!

This cabin rental was amazing! The house and bedrooms were perfect, the host was easy to reach for the few questions we had. We rented this cabin for my daughter's wedding weekend and it was great for having family and friends stop by to visit and help get things ready. Having this wonderful cabin took a lot of stress off me.10/10 recommend renting!!!
