Guest
Villas
Each of the 3 guest villas is private, comfortable and well-equipped. With STARLINK, guests can stay connected, enjoy a working holiday, or switch off entirely. If you have a larger group, you are welcome to book 2-3 of the villas, which are about 200 m apart and an easy 2 minute drive, or 5 minute walk. The bedrooms can have 1 x king bed, or 2 x singles, and we can add extra camping cots for children if needed.
Each villa has a private pool and braii (bbq), and we provide basic tea, coffee and firewood- and our tap water is delicious to drink (from a very deep borehole!) We also have a free mapping app for your phone (like Google), which is linked specifically to our game drive roads and walking trails, so you can't get lost! Once downloaded, it also works without any data!
We look forward to welcoming you!
