We had a magical stay in Firefly cabin. It was tranquil with a delightful view. The wood burning stove was essential and perfect. Great location for visiting the nearby wildlife sanctuaries.

We had a fantastic stay at Moonshine! From the moment we arrived, Carol made us feel incredibly welcome and well taken care of. The space was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up, with great attention to detail that really made the experience special. We are visiting South Africa for the first time from Canada on the Garden Route and Carol’s space reminded us of a home away from home. Our 3 kids absolutely loved the pool, the bunk beds, and the hike, it made the trip even more memorable for our whole family. The atmosphere was relaxing and exactly what we were looking for, and Carol was always helpful, responsive, and genuinely warm. You can tell a lot of care has gone into creating a great guest experience. We truly enjoyed our time and would absolutely recommend Moonshine to anyone looking for a memorable stay. Looking forward to coming back again!

Das Baumhaus „fly me to the moon“ ist wirklich einzigartig. Man ist mitten in der Natur und hat einen wundervollen Ausblick! Die Gastgeber sind außerordentlich freundlich und haben dort ein kleines Paradies geschaffen. Ich habe noch nie eine vergleichbare Unterkunft gehabt.

Muito bom!

Gostamos muito da hospedagem. Lugar muito bonito e bem cuidado. Cabana muito agradável e bem completa, com fogão, forno, utensílios de cozinha. Há lareira e lençol térmico para combater o frio. Não tem internet nas cabanas, mas existe um espaço, próximo à casa principal, para quem queira usar o wi-fi. A propriedade conta com uma trilha que leva a uma cachoeira. Recomendo e voltaria com certeza! Parabéns aos proprietários!
