Pros:

The nature surrounding the property. The trees and the river, even spotted some small wild animals. Unfortunately it was in the evening and could not identify them.

A charming farmhouse with an unbeatable location and hospitable host, offering great value
Pros:

I loved the location of this farmhouse—perfect for my brief stopover in Johannesburg. It's easy to find and comes with all the amenities you'd need. The host was wonderfully accommodating, even allowing me an extra hour to attend an online meeting, which was much appreciated. Excellent value for money with the most amazing views.

Cons:

The towels are a little worn, and I'll admit I may be particular about these things, but that was the only real snag. I arrived during winter, so the property was quite cold. An electric blanket was provided in the bedroom; however, if you venture to other areas of the unit, you'll definitely feel the chill.

Exceptional even with drama!
Pros:

Comfy bed, beautiful views, great service, friendly host, assistance with braai wood and checking in, lots of ice and glasses. Exceptional. Best place in East London.

Cons:

The people who stayed next door to us were extremely noisy, played loud music and were drinking and breaking glasses. This carried on until 4am. It got too much so I called the owner, and he dealt with it professionally and promptly. He offered us a free night stay for the inconvenience.
