Great experience
Seems rustic but best weirdly also the best night I had during my holidays! I loved particularly the showers.

- • Mosquito nets could be repaired but it wasn't much of an issue for us.
A beautiful place very well maintained and very clean. Everything you need is available in the kitchen and the caretaker of the place is very friendly. Excellent value for money.

Superb unexpected stay, beautiful surprise
The house is amazing, it is beautiful, charming, warm, and atypical. Cut off from the world, it is quiet, perfect for a retreat. Mariette is adorable, generous, and appreciates meeting others! Thank you Mariette ❤️

- • Accessibility: the paths seemed a bit dangerous to us but Mariette helped us a lot 🫶🏽 Hot water is rare. But when you know why, you understand and it adds even more flavor to the atypical stay! A truly beautiful experience

- • The road to the accommodation is a bit bumpy and slippery
The surroundings are really green and waking up there was amazing, with birds and sunny mornings. The staff is amazingly kind and willing to help and give you good advice about the attractions around. The mosquito net is great and it is really well equipped for cooking.

- • The room I got had insects and poor indoor lighting. So it makes you feel like you are not in a clean place. Although it was clean enough, the whole setup does not help to get rid of the idea if you arrive late at night.
Rustic but lovingly, you have to get involved
The accommodation is very lovingly furnished, but extremely rustic. Unfortunately, we doubt whether the water from the tap is drinking water, as we both subsequently had gastrointestinal problems. The approach is almost not recommended with a normal car. It is made worse by the fact that it had rained before our arrival and everything was extremely muddy, about 1 km. The landlady is extremely nice. The bathroom is very unusual, as all drains except the toilet are openly discharged at the edge of the room. However, the accommodation was still clean, we had rented the large apartment (about 40 m²). Hot water is prepared via the wood stove.

- • The access is technically an off-road experience. The accommodation itself is African rustic, small creatures are impossible to keep out due to the circumstances.
