Peaceful and serene.

Beautiful, peaceful location. Enjoyed the walks within the property, and was also a good central location for day trip to Sani Pass and hiking trails (got to see dinosaur footprints and cave paintings). Some big trout in the dam and upstream. Eland roaming the surrounding hillsides.

Unique and charming - your basecamp in the mountains.  Khotso is your basecamp in the mountains whether you want to hike till you drop, ride out on horseback, or relax by the fire with a cold beer under the stars next to the braai.

The location is simply the best, peaceful and quiet. The setting is surreal. The accommodation is superb. If you want a comfy bed, the finest linen, and well-appointed facilities. This is our "go-to place! We so enjoyed the warm herb bread and trout pate that was delivered to us on arrival. Such a spoil! Thank you so much.

My stay with Natasha at giants cup reminded me hust how beautiful and tranquil that part of the country is. My famiky and friends all enjoyed their stay which was cupped off by a gentle hike to a nearby stream. I will certainly be back! I can only imagine how beautiful this spot is in mid-winter. Thank you for your incredible service, Natasha.

This is a really beautiful place with relaxing, comfortable accommodation and epic fishing. The bird life is also something that really stood out for me. The fresh bread and trout pate is incredible and I highly recommend. This is what I call a holiday in the mountains. I look forward to returning to this special place.

We stayed in Duck Bay cottage for 3 nights. What a stunning place! The cottage is beautiful and the beds and bed linen are superb! Love the huge glass windows. The nice touches which give this place a point above the rest is that we were met personally on arrival by Emma who gave us lots of useful info. We also had a complimentary hot loaf of homemade special bread with a tub of smoked trout pate, yummy! Such a divine surprise, thank you!
The fishing was very good! Caught loads of fish, unfortunately no monsters but still😅 The quality of the fish were perfect.
The bird life is awesome. Also a great place for walks! The daily service was also excellent thank you!
If we had to make one suggestion, it would only be to put up large hooks to hold the fishing rods and to hang waders, booties etc.
Overall, a fantastic place, well worth a visit.

If you want to reset, hear yourself think and have no distraction, no noise and beautiful scenery and very comfortable accommodation then this is the place. The quietness will make you feel like something is wrong but very right.
