The property had everything one can need! Well thought out accommodation. The GPS coordinates are wrong when you try Maps but the host do provide a comprehensive “communication” pack. There is even a small splash pool for the summer heat.

Company info

My wife and I love to travel and to entertain family and friends. Greek Islands, Russia, Argentina, Italy and Okavango Delta was some of our favourite destinations that we have visited so far. We also really enjoyed Australia’s Gold Coast, Egypt and Thaiwan. We can’t life without our children, good coffee, good food, good music and quality toilet paper. Our house and everything in and around our small holding is like a piece of heaven to us. Every time we get the change to relax or do some catching up on reading, our home gives us the feeling that we are on holiday.
