An overall great stay with a very affordable price. "
"Warm welcome on arrival. Secure premises with neat and tidy rooms. Good value for money and an overall nice stay. "
"The only complaint I have is how short the weekend was and still so much to do, see and visit. I had one of my best weekends ever. My family enjoyed the care free weekend and itÕs worth another longer visit."
"Was a great stay, Mike and Val always helpful, great value for money!"
"Very peaceful, farm atmosphere. We loved the dogs, horses, pig and little goats. Val was very friendly and when we booked in we still owed her money and she said we can worry about that later because we were tired. That was nice to just go straight to our bungalow and chill."
"Good location just outside Nelspruit, and accomodation that also suits well for groups (we were 11 people). "
"We had a wonderful evening at Hawkshead, on our way to the Park. The facilities, both inside and outside the bungalow were ideal for us adults and for our 6-year old. The price is a steal!
Many thanks
Gary"

"Overnight facilities were good and recreational facilities. We enjoyed it. Will come again."

There are permanent residents there with yappy dogs which does not make for a quiet lie in in the morning. The race way can be heard loud and clear on the weekends so make plans to go and watch..."

But for the yard outside, it didn't leave an impression at all by me, it made me think of some sort of "maplotter" ."

It was peaceful, quiet and relaxing. The unit was very comfortable and well equiped. The garden and birds were amazing. Although there was a power cut during our stay our hosts made our stay very comfortable.
