★★★★★ We stayed in the cottage that is hidden behind the house. Nothing mentioned about it or any pictures on the internet of the cottage. Washing line in front of the door. Garden rubble outside the window. At half past 9 the water was only lukewarm. The plug of tv was no power. 2 Single beds pushed together to make a double bed. Please stay away from the Vaal Lookout.

★★★★★ Excellent welcome despite the owner not having a record, confirmed by her late husband, of our changed arrival date. We were very impressed by the service and friendliness in spite of the fact that she was going off on holiday early next morning and had not expected us.Shirley Liddell
