I don't normally leave reviews but a bride thought it acceptable to book me into this place based off of the google reviews so I thought it best to give a detailed one. I was pretty annoyed by this overnight stay (I didn't sleep well, you could hear the mice running inside the ceiling) and I now wish I had taken pictures of the rooms: A hair stylist and I were booked into this accommodation by a wedding planner for a wedding in the province. We arrived on the evening of 5 March at 20:30 and was assigned rooms 16 and 17. The inn keeper was very friendly and even though the kitchen staff had left, he offered to make us bacon and eggs. But as I am vegetarian and we had been on the road for 5.5 hours it was not an ideal solution. We did manage to get a meal from a nearby lodge. The rooms were small (not a problem), completely basic (wire shelving as opposed to built-in wardrobe) but our gripe was that there were mice nesting in the ceiling and in the one room. There were mouse droppings by the bedside table, cobwebs in the corners of the rooms, spiders and tiny black bugs on all the surfaces. These rooms had clearly not been cleaned recently nor checked in a while. The mice problem, bugs and spiders could not have happened overnight. I've stayed in the most high end and some very basic accommodation but this place stands out for the wrong reasons. It wasn't clean. How much effort could it have taken to check the room before guest arrival and give it a dust and a sweep? No early breakfast was arranged for us but I blame this on the wedding planner who simply didn't care enough to consider organising this. Stay here if you really are not phased by bugs, dust and living the simple life. We only saw this place in the dark as we arrived and left in the dark but it looks like an attractive camping type of spot.

It's a beautiful serene and comfortable place for a overnight stop over . Conviently located close to the border into Botswana.

Nice and close to the border crossing. The shop is a life saver and the restaurant a nice addition.

It is a great place to stay just 4km from the boarder on the RSA side, perfect for braking up long trips, ether to get an early start at the boarder or cross the boarder and spend the night. Very nice grounds and has WiFi too.

Not bad for accommodation at the border

Big camping space on grass close to the border with all facilities. Toilet were clean and comfortable. Some spots even get internet from the main house or you can move closer to the main building. There is also a restaurant with service till the afternoon. Nice place to rest, only minus point is that is too close to the road, but there was not a lot of noise at night.
