Have just left this amazing place today for the 4th time. I could write a 300 page review praising how much i love to come here. There is nothing i can say negative about the lodge/guest house (stayed in both); the beautiful area; staff or food. I’ll be back next year, providing I’m breathing and really cant wait. Thank you Nikki and family for sharing your home with us to enjoy.
