Visitor reviews

People who stayed in this apartment, have only the best opinions about it.

The aesthetics of the property was amazing, pleasantly surprised.

Very spacious, has kids entertainment games, wifi, and feel more like home, bed very comfortable with clean linen and electric blankets we never felt cold or uncomfortable, although we didn't have a chance to sit in the braai spot due to weather but Unit 4 is very specious nice view and beautiful fish pond. Kids really enjoyed it and wanted to stay for more few days. Thanks Michelle and the board for a perfect hospitality.

We absolutely loved the rustic meets modern touches to the home. It felt warm and inviting even though there were some beautiful modern artworks throughout. Never have I met a hostess who went above and beyond to make our stay special. Thank you so so much for your warm welcome and kindness. Will definitely be back and recommend Hornbill House anytime.
