"Hello Dean, Jon, Luke and all the animals,😃
1000 thanks for the great time here. The accommodation is fantastically beautiful, the bed super comfortable and the terrace with the view is amazing. It was great to get a visit from the dogs, they are really very sweet and fun.
I sincerely hope we'll come back one day. I highly recommend your paradise.
Thanks again for everything. You're great hosts."

"What an incredible place!! I loved our stay so much! The house is in the most beautiful location with absolutely stunning views and the rooms are spectacular. We had everything we needed for a self catered stay. We were even able to do two short hikes from the property. Also, if you love dogs, you’re in for an absolute treat! I’m definitely going to be staying there again 🫶"

"An exquisite property with one of the most beautiful views to wake up to that I have experienced in the entire Garden Route. Super comfortable bed and bedding. We loved the beautiful views and well equipped kitchen. The hosts were excellent and very accommodating and fine tuned in on all the details that make a stay great."

"Quiet, very comfortable, great view, all mod cons and everything worked. Spent a lot of time chilling on the deck. Dean was very attentive and helpful, responded to queries promptly. The short Yellowwood walk up the stream is beautiful. Very enjoyable stay." Dave from South Africa
