    Loadshedding electricity all over the country Road towards the spot is an one hour drive, an adventure through villages and dense forest. Need good car and gps,

    Perfect spot in the rural area, amazing views all around, big kitchen two fire places, lekker swimming pool and gardens, walk to Magwa falls is about 3km, staff is easygoing dedicated. The big Rondavel has two topbeds with full panorama Stay a couple of nites for the real african experience, its worth it. We loved it

    Being treated as a family member, escorted on the road if not familiar with rural roads, safety and care of his customers is at heart, business doesn't end only when one submits the keys but extra care for those who struggling

    The roads are not too great for a small car but luckily for me I had the car for that gravel.

    The warmth from Louis and his Son, directions he gave me were so accurate and he was available on the phone to ensure my safety getting there. Loui's knowledge of the area and the love he portrayed for the community. The hike was the best. The area is beautiful, peaceful with raw nature

    The gravel road to the property was a bit long, uneven and very slippery after the rain but we did not have a 4x4 and we made it, absolutely worth it though - through the beautiful magical forests. Louis gave very clear instructions how to get there and offered to help if we get lost or stuck.

    Of all the bookings in the past two weeks, the kids enjoyed this one the most. I have to much to say. Louis was an exceptional host. Kept the kids entertained, added an extra sunset cruise a place you wont know exist, which was amazing on top of the visit to the spectacular Magva Falls and extra waterfalls standing under the waterfall was so nice. He shared a lot of interesting info of the old “Transkei” now Eastern Cape and the people we did not know. One of the most beautiful and clean places I have ever seen for sure. Not once did I feel unsafe in this area. We were greeted all the way through like we were royalty. These people are amazing and gentle. No photo or video can do the views here justice you have to see it for yourself. Driving through from Mthatha to Port St Johns and to Lusikisiki was so beautiful and well worth it.

    access road is long and mostly dirt /potholes. (you do get to see 'real world rural s africa...but one hour from town/food stores) probably not worth the trek for one night stays.... directions however are great (if u read them ).

    incredible views , accommodating hosts. unique spot 'off piste'

    Louis welcomed us warmly when we arrived. We were surrounded by the beautiful hilltop lights when we sat next to the campfire. The accommodation was really cozy, spacious and in proximity to the Magwa Waterfalls, which we visited the next morning. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you want to escape the stressful city life.

    The host could be more clear about the road to the hut - it is quite rough and a typical sadan would bump along a bit.

    Beautiful location, authentic and inspiring. Just make sure you know what your going there for - it is not close to any shops or other facilities. Deep Eartern Cape experience

    Just a suggestion but not an issue, if they can maybe sell ice to visitors. We forgot to buy some before arrival and didn't feel like driving back to town to buy some. Thank you, Louis, for helping us out with some of your personal ice.

    We love the view, the outdoor shower AND THE VIEW from our Charlet. Louis is an excellent host, everything was neat and clean and comfortable.
