This place is just what you need in a place like Gauteng.||Less a guest house, more a retreat. |Peter is a wonderful host. He speaks less but just takes care of all your needs. He also makes fantastic breakfast. ||This place has a dorm, two basic yet well done up rooms with sit outs and all amenities, a pantry and a pool.||It’s more like a BNB, with a lot of food options and recreational activities within a 20 min distance. Extremely quiet, except for the sound of birds and water fountain. Peter’s also makes these cute sitting areas in the garden where you can just sit and read or meditate by small lotus pond. He also boasts of a fantastic organic kitchen garden and serves you what grows. |And not to forget, the dogs make for excellent company.|||We had a fantastic Christmas Eve at this place, sipping wine by our Christmas tree and listening to beatles.

I cannot thank them enough for their hospitality and will definitely book there again next time I visit...
