Baie baie dankie vir jul wonderlike gasvryheid. Further Beyond is lieflik. Ons het heerlik ontspan en uitgerus en al die mooi van die omgewing geniet. Een van die lekkerste kothuise waarin ons nog gebly het. Ons het tuis gevoel. Dankie daarvoor. Seën op jul pad vorentoe. ’n Stukkie van ons menswees bly hier agter.
God be with you will we meet again.

By far the best self-catering cottage we’ve stayed at. Can’t believe the amount of kitchen tools provided, we usually bring our own because other places don’t provide them but we are very happy to come back here knowing everything we need is already here! Thank you for a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back here soon.
