The landscape is extremely beautiful, what a view at sunset when the animals come to drink! Also the Varley family is charming, and Constantine Varley provided us with a lot of information to plan our stay (even after we left the property he kept sending me information by WhattsApp on what to look for on the road). The breakfasts and dinners were delicious and plentyful, always with such a nice decoration on the table. Our chalets (there are only 4 or 5 I think, so this is very private) were very nice, with a verandah to look at the view. The place is close to all the things to see around (ostrich farm, cango caves...) while being in this peaceful and beautiful environnement. A real gem, for a reasonnable price. Thank you and we'll be back. Ariane
