    The guesthouse offers a cozy outdoor conference facility, perfect for small meetings. They also have a bar area with modern furniture and great coffee. The lunch served was heartily prepared and tasted like a delicious home-cooked Sunday meal.

    Some guests reported that the room was not clean and the WiFi was only occasionally available in the hallway.

    The atmosphere at the guesthouse during the rugby World Cup opener was exhilarating. It was a great experience and really added to the overall ambiance of the place. the Madlamini Cuisine Special is a must-try. Although it's not available on a daily basis, if you happen to be there when it's being served, you won't regret trying it. The location of the guesthouse is also worth mentioning as it is conveniently located near various events and activities in the area.

    The cleanliness of the room was not up to par during our stay. the Wi-Fi was not reliable as stated in the provided information.

    The room was clean and comfortable, and the WiFi worked well. the staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the cozy bar area and the great coffee they served. the outdoor conference facility was a cozy and intimate space for our meeting. the late lunch served was delicious and made us feel like we were enjoying a home-cooked Sunday meal.

    The WiFi only worked intermittently when standing in the hallway, which was inconvenient. We also had difficulty finding someone on the premises when we had questions or needed assistance.
