Great place to stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! Rooms are spacious and everything was very clean. Our toddler loved the little table and chairs with crayons and coloring books. The hot tub was so nice to relax in after a long day. Blanche is a great host, very helpful and quick to respond! Would definitely stay again!

The house is nicer than the pictures show. It’s in a very beautiful setting. We stayed 6 days and 5 nights with 5 adults and 2 small children. The only thing I would recommend is bringing your own plastic wrap or left over containers. Beds were very comfortable.

Great location to attractions. Cabin was clean and decorated nicely. We had a great time. There were a few issues. Steps were not code height and could also use a railing for older people. Garage door. Opener and tv remote needed batteries. The toilet seats were loose. Screens in bedroom windows would have been nice.

Great property. Had a wonderful stay. Cannot complain. The property was supplied with minimum supplies. Couch was very uncomfortable (it is not the couch you see on the photos)but didn’t bother us much as we were out sightseeing. Other than that it is a beautiful place and location is great.

It was an excellent place to stay. Beds, and pillows were fantastic! Easy to get places and a quiet neighborhood. The master bathroom was to die for. I would stay there again if we come this way again. Loved how helpful the owner was.

My husband and I were vacationing with our daughter and son in law. Hakuna Matata was well stocked with everything we needed. We were able to cook meals and even used the barbecue one nightto cook out. The patio is set up for eating outside. The view is beautiful and it was a such a nice night. Communication with the host was very easy. She was proactive and reached out to me before check in and check out. We really enjoyed our stay at Hakuna Matata.
