We didn’t want to leave!

 ” This is a really special place and was a highlight of our trip to South Africa. Our chalet exceeded expectations in comfort and spaciousness and we loved the view out across the ravine. Vervet monkeys welcomed us. The restaurant food was fresh and delicious and it was a joy eating on the restaurant terrace with views down to the sea. We didn’t want to leave! “
