Firstly the location is everything. Never thought there'd be such a calm, peaceful, serene piece of land in the middle of Bryanston. You have to be there to believe it. We were treated to an upgrade of the room we booked and also had a delicious, filling breakfast. They have streaming services for entertainment and electric blankets for the cold winter. Penny was a great host as well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. In the cold morning we found that she'd lit up the fireplace by the breakfast table. Amazing establishment. Sitting on the balcony and listening to trees whispering I'm the wind was so calming. It's a really serene place.

Heater was switched on we walked into a warm villa. We had all basics provided like tea, sugar, milk rusks, coffee even spices provided for a braai. There was coins left for us to enjoy the pool table. Definitely a perfect stay

    I have stayed here before and felt so welcomed, that I booked both rooms this time around. The owners feel like friends. I had left something behind on my last visit, and they even held onto it for me! The TV offers streaming. The kitchen has all the appliances you need. Just remember to bring your own condiments and groceries. The location is within a security village. I would stay here again!
