Very comfortable, exellent overall accomodation
We especially appreciated the numerous sitting areas both inside and outside the house, the very well-stocked kitchen with enough silverware and plates and appliances for any occasion, very comfortable beds with good quality linens, and the cleaning service 3x per week. Faye was also very helpful and accommodating when we had questions or issues. Absolutely loved the fresh eggs daily from the chickens in the back!
Wonderful home for family gatherings
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the “Owl House”! The owner, Faye, was responsive to all of our needs. The home was comfortable and well laid out for multiple families traveling together with private sleeping areas, and large gathering areas and kitchen. The house was beautifully decorated, well appointed, and the gardens were gorgeous!
The house maid was there a few days a week and was wonderful.
In addition to a beautiful pool, the backyard also has a hen house, where guests can gather their own fresh eggs every morning- our kids loved this!
We hope to be able to return to this property again next time we vacation in South Africa!
