    It was not clearly stated on the webpage or invoice that the cottage was self catered, the site is ambiguous as it does bot define that only certain cottages in lided a breakfast and it left us at a disadvantage

    Quiet location in garden setting on the edge of town, but a short walk into the centre. Friendly efficient manager. Private sitting area. Reasonably well equiped kitchen. Heating panels in all rooms.

    Can't thank the owner enough for picking me up from Maluti Lodge in rainy weather. She showed up so fast & ensured I'm safe. She made my stay an absolute pleasure & I felt home. I genuinely appreciate her efforts.
