Situated just off the Dargle/Impendle road, this little piece of heaven is just over an hours drive from Durban but you will feel like you are in another world altogether.
The surrounding area is beautiful, an abundance of plants and trees and only the sound of birds to wake you up in the morning.
The units are just in front of a natural forest where you can go for either short or long hikes then enjoy a dip in the stunning pool.
Or you could simply sit on the deck and listen to the birds and absorb the natural beauty and peace that surrounds you.
Accommodation consists of two four-sleeper cottages, one three-sleeper and a small little two-sleeper.
We stayed in the four sleeper unit - Samango. This spacious unit offers a lovely big kitchen, fire-place, huge screen tv (not that you need one) and en-suite two bedrooms (one with a bath, the other with a shower).
What is perhaps the most impressive feature however, is the availability of recycling bins for glass, plastic, paper and tins.
This is the first place we've ever stayed at that has offered this, we usually have to cart all our recycling home with us. It is wonderful to know that there are people out there who care as much about this as we do.
Great features:
* Sparkling pool
* Beautiful and peaceful surroundings
* Spacious and well equipped
* Recycling bins and a compost container for vegetable and fruit peels so little to no waste at all
Not so great features:
* The other four sleeper unit - Oribi - is much smaller so perhaps better for just couple
* The two sleeper unit is quite far into the forest so does not get much sun. It did look like a fun little spot to stay if you are not too concerned about space and want the 'camping' feel.
