    It was a home away from home. The private garden was a cherry 🍒 on top. The garden was just what I needed.

    Had a lovely patio, where we could eat supper. We didn’t use the kitchen or braai facilities as our stay was very short, but will use it again whenever we need to be in UMhlanga. A small private Garden was fenced so a good doggie friendly spot I...
