Fantastic hosts, wonderful sleep.
Pros:

Fiona and Thina were fantastic hosts: kind, very accommodating and charming.

The room had a private bathroom and the bed was very comfortable! I slept so well, I didn't want to get up.

Our stay was peaceful and looking forward to stay there next time we visit Venda.

The place was so quiet and have a beautiful view. Not forgetting the sound of birds early in the morning and fresh breeze throughout the day from the dam.
