    The power and water went out our last morning but I don’t think that was the fault of the hotel. We went out to breakfast instead of eating in and it was fixed when we returned.

    Very comfortable and kind and helpful staff.

    The location is excellent, if you are going to Moremi direction, as we were. It is however more than 4 km from Maun center, if that is important. They did let us keep our car two nights in guarded area during our safari in Okawango - we stayd night before and after. That was a big help.

    The location is far away from any shops and restaurants and there isn't a restaurant on site. You had to take a taxi for even small things and it became expensive

    The room was clean and comfortable and had a small refrigerator. The staff was friendly and very helpful.

    Thank you for the very relaxing stay-over to reload after a long journey.

    The bath/shower unit is a bit uncomfortable and unsteady. The kitchen stove takes very long for cooked meals in the self-catering chalet. The power strength was very weak to pull one stove top and the aircon together and it was unbearably hot to switch of the aircon while trying to get the food cooked. Small stuff can be looked into like having Repellent in the rooms for your guests/untorn kitchen curtains/ missing curtain hooks and then lastly to look into a table for the stove in a safe spot. But other than that GREAT STAY

    Loved the quiet and calm environment. It was refreshing to have a stay over where you can actually recover from driving 704km to Maun. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Our kids enjoyed the pool to relax their bodies and just have fun after the long drive. The beautiful green garden was so peaceful, we really enjoyed our stay.

    Family apartment was supposed to accomodate 6 persons but it was too small so we booked an extra room on arrival. Maintenance of facilities (toilets, showers) was not in good shape. We gave our clothes for laundry (with extra charge) and it came back as dirty as it was.

    Double rooms were fair size. Staff let us use the kitchen and all the facilities. Rooms were clean.

    It's easier to get there if you have a car (like to 99% of places around Maun), but it's definitely double with shared taxis that run around the city too.

    + It's a calm place with 4 rooms, but there is a huge kitchen with a living room and a nice area in the garden. + Stuff was very welcoming, nice, and helpful. In the end, we decided to stay there one more night just to chill. + It's very clean.

    A little too far from Maun if you dont have a car. So a car or a taxi ride is necessary. Ants might appear near a tap but this is typical for the region.

    Good stay, with a small swimming pool, a patio and a bbq place. Safe internal parking for guests. Place looks better than on the listing photos. Comfortable beds and friendly hosts. We have stayed here twice during our trip.

    This place is a little hidden gem! The rooms are spacious, equipped with a TV, Aircon and a good hot shower. There is a little pool and a big kitchen you can use to cook your own food. We were very happy to stay here.
