Such a wonderful, affordable and stunning place to wind down for a family or group!
We had such an amazing stay! 😃 Everything was exactly as shown in the pictures. We went as a family of 10, and one of the things we really appreciated was how comfortable everyone was. There was more than enough space for all of us, and the accommodation is really well set up for families and larger groups. There’s even a private cottage, which was great for a bit of extra privacy, and one of the rooms has a loft that families with kids would absolutely love. The viewing deck was definitely one of our favourite spots. It’s such a lovely place to sit, relax and enjoy the surroundings. We even had the resident crocodile🐊 to keep us entertained! You can see it from the deck, and in the evenings you can hear the hippos🦛, which made the whole experience feel so unique and special. There’s also a playroom with lots of colouring books and board games, something to keep everyone busy. The location is very convenient, with all the necessary amenities nearby. Checkers 60 even delivers straight to the accommodation 😃, which was really convenient for our big family. Getting to the place was also easy and hassle-free. Breakfast was included, and the staff who came in daily were so accommodating and always willing to assist. The host was also very responsive and happy to help with any questions we had. Overall, we had a wonderful and memorable family stay. It was the perfect place for all 10 of us to spend quality time together while still having enough space to relax. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for families or larger groups, and we would happily come back again! 😃
