After the last bad experience that we had (http://ontheroadagainwithsandyfeet.blogspot.co.za/2017/05/pay-back-money-treehouse-river-lodge.html) the service we received was such a wonderful surprise!
We booked The Penthouse for the weekend and we were completely wowed by the amazing view, which can be enjoyed from the lovely wooden deck, lounge and main bedroom.

The kitchen was spacious and very well equipped, in all our travels, this is the second place we've ever stayed that has provided a colander!

We also had the most incredible moon rise on the Friday night, it came up right in front of the deck and felt close enough to touch!
Comfortable couches and full dstv complete the lounge which also has an additional single bed if you travel in a group / family and leads through to your own personal bar!

The bathroom had a bath, toilet basin and a fantastic shower that heated up really quickly, all that was missing was a fluffy bath mat. (A rubber non slip mat was provided but did not help with the water).
We were a bit concerned about the fact that the unit is right above where the owner's stay but privacy was definitely not an issue at all, we did not see or hear anyone else the entire weekend.
Not so great features:
* We did not use the pool at all as it is shaded most of the day and also right next to the 'Cottage' - a smaller wooden unit at the end of the garden
* Even though the unit is three roads back from the highway, you can hear the traffic from the deck. This was not an issue when inside however and did not disturb our sleep at all.
Price:
Less than R500 per person.
Recommended for:
Couples / small families
The host/s:
Absolutely fantastic!
