+Peaceful and quite.
−Solar power were not enough to keep fridge going. Lost some food. It will be great if a net can be put up onto the windows on the top level bedroom so that it can also be kept open as it is extremely hot.

“Beautiful, relaxing, can't wait to go again!!”
+The A-Frame cabin was beautifully set up, and the location is idyllic. We spent almost a week just relaxing, stargazing, birdwatching (especially the little sunbird that frequented the tree right on the balcony), swimming and snoozing. Highly recommend this space, and Taryn is a very attentive and wonderful host. We'll definitely be back!
−The battery to run the fridge did not last well throughout the 4 night stay - despite lots of sunlight, the solar panel only managed to get it up to about 50 - 60% each day, which meant we needed to turn the fridge off quite a lot. Might be that the battery lifespan is winding down, but not super great for keeping meat cold for a few days.

“Glamping?”
+The cabin was cute and pleasant if basic. Liked the side opening door and the deck. Good swims in the river.
−The solar-powered fridge was a major drawback, with the solar panel unable to produce enough power to keep the fridge on 24x7 , let alone charge devices, meaning we had to purchase ice daily. The cabin also needs to be cleared of cockroaches and spiders between visitors - my wife was stung by a scorpion on our last night. Although we enjoyed the river, getting in and out over slippery rocks was a challenge. I'm not a botanist, but the riverside forest looked to be largely black wattle.

“In the heart of nature”
+A little piece of heaven, intimate and close to nature. Our family had an amazing weekend here where we could reconnect to ourselves and nature. Taryn, our host, was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely visit again.

“We're coming back ASAP”
+Perfect cabin to escape to. Quiet, peaceful, great layout and a fully equipped. Everything you'll need - braai area, gas fired kitchenette in the cabin and shared facility, battery pack for charging devices etc. The river is epic for a cool down, and safe for kids to swim and paddled in. 11/10 stay

+Very beautiful location! Perfect to relax. The cabins style is very beautiful.
−It is too small for 4 people. The bed upstairs is maximum for kids or one person. The heat up there is also bad. The way down to the location was challenging for our Toyota Corolla Quest

“Really lovely little place, well worth the stay.”
+The property and location were amazing, so tranquil and calm. Cabin was clean and well equipped with the essentials. Will definitely be back to spend more than just one night.
−Did not realize to put the hot water geyser on so showers were freezing, cabin was lovely just super hot on the top level.

+Above our expectations. The most peaceful and tranquility little gem. We loved the A Cabin...very cozy and love the swing at the side of river. The sound of water and birds were like heaven. We will definitely make a booking regularly.
