Will stay over again, just not maybe over weekend or public holidays because of locals.
Pros:

Aletta the hostess was more than helpful and professional with helping us feel welcome, and completely went out of her way to make sure all our needs were met. All the facilities you need is there. Whatever is not there that you might need, you can just shoot a message to Aletta, and she will make it happen ASAP. The rest of the staff is also very friendly and helpfull.

Cons:

The only negative thing we had,that is unfortunately out of the control of the host, was the location. The guesthouse is situated in a busy road that is located near hotels and liquor stores. We went over a long weekend at the end of the month, resulting in the locals drinking a lot, get drunk and then walk up and down the street shouting and swearing. We had an instance where 3 people were fighting right in front of the gate for about an hour at 2h30 in the morninng. I dont know for how much longer they would've gone on if i didnt go out to shut them up.
