    Room was big and spacious. Bathroom had a big shower and bath. We had a lovely little veranda where we could sit and enjoy the sun with our morning coffee.

    There is nothing not to LOVE about The Views. Our stay was amazing and exceeded our expectations. The photos do not do the property justice and the whole family (including the two friendly dogs) could not have been more welcoming and made our trip...

We are an international family of five and our two friendly Ridgebacks are also part of our family. We relocated from Europe in 2019 and are so happy and proud to call South Africa our new home. Many years ago we fell in love with the special and beautiful people of South Africa, the stunning nature and diverse cultures. We look forward to welcoming you to our home and want it to be your home during your stay with us.
