A gracious and elegant property with wonderful gardens, a pool and the most welcoming of staff. Set in the lush suburb of Karen its a sublime place to stay
4.5
Just exceptional on all levels, location, staff, food, pool, gardens, owner Chris was super lovely. Can’t fault it at any point !
Small thing but probably a few sun loungers for the pool area but no big deal
4.5
Everything was simply perfect ! The people were very very kind, the house is beautiful, wonderful energy there, the garden, the pool, the lounge. Food from breakfast to dinner was delicious. William was especially lovely, such a kind soul ! And Christian the owner was very thoughtful. We would go back tomorrow and stay longer. We enjoyed the calm and the fact that the house is hidden away. But also well located !
Leaving !

Beautiful place tucked away in magical gardens. The staff were super helpful and even packed us a nice lunch for the day we did an early morning safari.
No complaints whatsoever.

The house feels like a home and very cosy. Chris, the lovely owner, and his wonderful team made us feel very comfortable. Lovely terrace and garden!

Beautiful planter bungalow look from the front, great for pictures. Food was tasty and staff great. Nice and quiet in the morning and felt relaxed.
Far away from main city, no TV in the room, toilet commode was stained and had to get it cleaned. Light shade missing in the toilet. No roomed bottled water. No toilet amenities. Only 2 tables to dine down stairs. Had to eat upstairs in the corridor whilst guests walked passed. Lots of mosquitoes. Limited menu that remained the same for lunch and dinner. Breakfast menu confusing. Kitchen walls dirty. No TV in the room.

Amazing service
Great location
The staff is amazing
The food is great
4.5
The house is charming and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS.
My bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. There was almost no place put clothing in my room. No drawers and a very tiny closet with one hanger. Woke up to no water one morning until noon. I sat at breakfast and head several guests come downstair to report no water and inquire about status only to
have staff react as if they had never hard about this problem before.
4.5
Beautiful grounds, warm intimate atmosphere, lovely attentive staff.
Room number two’s bathroom at entrance to room is part of open space. I would prefer more privacy. The room is above the kitchen and therefore noisy early morning.

An oasis of calm in a crazy City. An extremely relaxing stay - the house and gardens are thoroughly charming and the property is located within striking distance of some of the City’s main attractions.

The location of this property is super and the house itself was exactly what we were hoping for to get a more personal and authentic experience. The staff were very helpful and accommodating.
Was slightly disappointed with our room, which was located to the side of the property with no view and therefore very dark.
4.5
Beautiful serene setting with amazing, cosy places to relax. It felt incredibly cosy and comfortable. Kind, welcoming and accommodating staff. Amazing breakfast and generally great food.
Hardly anything! My room didn’t have aircon. Would be nice to have black out curtains. Very minor points.
