Thanks to Paula and Vic for a special stay in that most beautiful part of the world.

Let me start with the good parts: The owners were very helpful. They kept us informed about the daily load shedding schedule which is critical when staying in South Africa. They were very quick to respond when something was broken or missing and to answer any questions. There was a cleaning lady who came to wash our dishes and make beds while we were out, definitely a nice bonus. You should note that the house is about a 15 minute drive out of town in a lovely wooded setting and several kilometers of the drive are on dirt farm roads. Not a problem, but good to know in advance. Now for the not so good parts: I’m not sure where the photos were taken on the property, but they did not reflect our accommodations. There were not three bedrooms, in our unit, only two. They did have a daybed in the living room so that may be what they were counting as the third room. Furniture was older and not what was in the Airbnb photos. The dining room chairs were missing bottom cushions and some slats. To me it seemed as if the home was staged for the Airbnb photos and then reset with different furniture. The owners need to take new, accurate photos. The listing states that there is air conditioning. However, it only had air conditioning in the downstairs bedroom. The one air conditioning unit was not capable of cooling the entire house and it was quite hot during our stay so the home never cooled off. We don’t rent homes without air conditioning in South Africa because we know how hot it gets. We paid more than $170 a night for a home that should cost 1/3 of that price. This is a rustic country cottage and the photos and description need to reflect what it truly is. They either need to add more air conditioning units or be very clear about having air conditioning only in the children’s bedroom. We have used Airbnb for many years and this is the first time we have ever felt really misled in what we believed we were renting. The listing for this home did not accurately describe the house we stayed in and we were very disappointed.
