Thank you, Mariska and team, for an incredible experience. I booked last minute due to poor planning on my side, but your quick response made our engagement possible. Richard was our wonderful host, ensuring we were always cared for. Chef Lucky not only delivered amazing dinners but excelled with all meals. Joanne's idea for our beach engagement was stunning, with a spread fit for royalty - prawns, meats, cheeses, and a vast drink selection from gin to champagne. Your all-inclusive service was truly appreciated. We'll definitely return. Thank you for making this occasion unforgettable.

Romantic Forest Escape

5 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews2 weeks ago

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible romantic getaway, nestled deep in the bushes. The accommodation exceeded our expectations in every way. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the accommodation were impressive, with a stunning bathroom that felt like a luxurious oasis. The view from the apartment was breathtaking, and the pool was immaculately maintained. What truly made our stay special was the sense of seclusion and privacy. Being surrounded by nature, with zebras and other animals roaming freely, was a surreal experience. The trees, birds, and peaceful atmosphere created a sense of tranquility that was hard to leave behind. Our host was warm and welcoming, providing thoughtful touches such as ample clean towels, insect repellents, and peaceful sleep sprays. It was clear that they had gone above and beyond to ensure our comfort and relaxation.
