Peaceful, quiet, excellent hosts.

Thank you for a memorable stay there. From arrival till departure, the hosts were the best. Just the plain simple things that make this place very special. You have the bush and animals.

Baie afgesonder maar nie baie om te doen nie.

Ons het op dieselfde perseel as 'n ander groep gebly. Dit was nie baie privaat nie. Het uitgesien na die swembad, maar dit is reg voor die deur van die ander groep mense. Ons het ongelukkig nie baie wild gesien nie.

Very secluded but not much to do.

We stayed on the same premises as another group. It wasn't very private. Was looking forward to the pool, but it's right outside the door of the other group of people. Unfortunately we didn't see much wildlife.

Good day Madelein,
Thank you for your feedback, this helps us to strive for better service and gives us direction on what our guests require.
Unfortunately, the Chalets are all semi self-catering (details were sent to you on Whatsapp), with only a microwave, fridge, kettle and cutlery/crockery for your use. The communal kitchen was only set up for you to cook a little breakfast, this kitchen is normally not available for cooking but just a washing up area.
We do have fully self-catering units available that offer a home-away-from-home experience, where you have a fully stocked kitchen, stove and many other kitchen appliances.
Trust this information helps you when booking with us.
Warm regards

Lekker en gemaklik.

Alles was baie lekker. Ek sou wel voorstel dat hulle net waaiers in die kamers sit asook die lugversorging regmaak in die hoofslaapkamer. Dit sal een naweek se geld kos om alles reg te maak en die verblyf baie beter te maak. Matte kan ook gewas of dalk eerder vervang word. Behalwe vir dit was alles baie lekker.

Nice and comfortable.

Everything was very nice. I would suggest that they just put fans in the rooms as well as fix the air conditioning in the master bedroom. It will cost one weekend's money to fix everything and make the stay much better. Carpets can also be washed or perhaps replaced instead. Other than that, everything was very nice.

Average.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Cleanliness was neglected, bedsheets were clean, towels had brown stains. No cleaning services were available during the stay. Wash-up facilities were also not clean and not very practical to stay longer than one night. Nice braai facilities and walking routes to see the animals.

Kon slaap.

Dit was teleurstellend: toilette lek, nie toiletpapier nie en die badkamers was nie skoon nie. Alhoewel ons net oornag het na 'n troue, was dit baie moeilik om te sien wat aangaan omdat daar nie krag was nie. En die grondpad is nie baie mooi vir kleiner voertuie nie.

It was disappointing: toilets leak, no toilet paper and the bathrooms were not clean. Although we were just staying overnight after a wedding, it was very difficult to see what was going on because there was no power. And the dirt road is not very nice for smaller vehicles.

Good day Johann,
Thank you for your feedback.
To set the record straight, the management were not fighting or arguing.
We did have a guest staying downstairs in the other unit who may have been causing disruption.
We were asleep in bed and did not hear anything.
If you had just sent us a message, we would have attended to it immediately, without you having a bad experience.
We hope you will give us another chance and experience the peace and serenity that we offer.

Rustigheid, vrede, gemoedsrus, vriendelike diens en eg Suid-Afrikaanse gasvryheid.

Ek kan begin met "as jy moeg word vir die lewe in die stad", woorde wat ons graag sing as ons so lekker in die natuur stap. Ons gashere, Marina en Anton, het ons al laat tuis voel deur inligting te stuur nog voordat ons klaar gepak het by die huis. Pragtige, gasvrye mense. Goed georganiseerd en ingelig. Gerieflik naby Pretoria, maar so lekker in die bos. As jy stilte soek weg van die stad se gewoel is hierdie die plek om te wees. Pragtige, rollende grasperke wat omring is deur goeie heining en beligting, met die wild en natuur enkele treë weg. Naguiltjies wat saam met die krieke 'n nagliedsimfonie van wilde natuurklanke voltooi. Vir seker ook 'n heerlike venue vir 'n lekker verjaarsdagparty, reunie of troue. Alles net gerieflik gegroepeer en bekostigbaar. Ons sal graag weer gaan en die boskamp of een van die familiehuise in die middel van die bos gaan beleef.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Tranquility, peace, peace of mind, friendly service and true South African hospitality.

I can start with "if you get tired of life in the city", words we like to sing when we have such a nice walk in nature. Our hosts, Marina and Anton, already made us feel at home by sending information even before we had finished packing at home. Beautiful, hospitable people. Well organized and informed. Conveniently close to Pretoria, but so nice in the bush. If you are looking for silence away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place to be. Beautiful, rolling lawns surrounded by good fencing and lighting, with wildlife and nature just steps away. Night owls that together with the crickets complete a night song symphony of wild nature sounds. For sure also a lovely venue for a nice birthday party, reunion or wedding. Everything just conveniently grouped and affordable. We would love to go again and experience the forest camp or one of the family houses in the middle of the forest.

Rustig, lekker bergfiets gery.

Die gasheer was vriendelik en aanpasbaar met in- en uitkloktye. Ons was 1 nag in die eenheid bo met styl trappe op. Dit was ruim en beddens gemaklik. Die kombuiskaste was egter amper leeg. Hoewel die gasvrou als gegee het waarvoor ek gevra het, was dit nie baie gerieflik in daardie opsig nie. Die braai-area was lekker, die stoele en tafels by swembad kort net 'n skoonmaak. Die wildkamp het heelwat diere en daar is 'n goeie netwerk van grondpaaie (sonder dorings!) waarop ons kon fietsry as gesin, en die bosveld geniet.

Quiet, nice mountain bike ride.

The host was friendly and flexible with check-in and check-out times. We stayed 1 night in the unit upstairs with style stairs up. It was spacious and beds comfortable. However, the kitchen cupboards were almost empty. Although the hostess gave als for what I asked for, it was not very convenient in that respect. The braai area was nice, the chairs and tables by the pool just need cleaning. The game camp has a lot of animals and there is a good network of dirt roads (without thorns!) on which we could cycle as a family, and enjoy the woodland.

Rustig en vêr van alle geraas/lawaai, lekker rusplekkie.

WiFi was nie beskikbaar nie, al was dit as beskikbaar op die platform. Geen self-catering beskikbaarheid nie, kan nie self maaltye maak nie, behalwe braai. Sal voorstel dat etes beskikbaar gemaak word. Dit was 'n reënerige naweek, die pad baie sleg aangesien dit grondpad is, so niemand aanbeveel om te gaan as dit reën nie. Wel yskassie en mikrogolfoond in die kamer gewees, met eetgerei.

It was a rainy weekend, the road very bad as it is dirt road, so no one recommended to go when it rains. There was a small fridge and microwave oven in the room, with cutlery.

Was disappointed that rooms were not serviced and also not really equipped for self-catering. Only a microwave and small bar fridge.

I feel that if you are staying for the weekend you at least need a 2-plate stove, and a bigger fridge as the drive to shopping facilities is a fair way and a person does not want to go shopping every day due to fridge space. We enjoyed our stay but would not go again due to the non-servicing of rooms and all although it says self-catering those facilities were not up to scratch.

Rustige naweek-wegbreek.

Ons was eintlik op soek na verblyf in Dinokeng om diere te kyk maar het baie meer diere gesien by Ma Tala Tala. Boonop kon ons die hele wildplaas plat stap en kameelperde, zebras en bokke van baie naby, ongesteurd besigtig. Die kamers se kombuis is baie basies ingerig so aandete was 'n ent se ry op n 4x4 grondpad maar die ontbyt wat hulle bedien was goeie waarde vir geld. Die kamers kyk uit op groot oop spasies met baie bome en voëls en die rustigheid sal ons nog lank bybly.

Peaceful weekend getaway.

We were actually looking for accommodation in Dinokeng to watch animals but saw many more animals at Ma Tala Tala. In addition, we were able to walk the entire game farm flat and view giraffes, zebras and goats from very close, undisturbed. The rooms' kitchen is very basic so dinner was a bit of a drive on a 4x4 dirt road but the breakfast they served was good value for money. The rooms overlook large open spaces with many trees and birds and the tranquility will stay with us for a long time.

Heerlik om in die natuur te kan ontspan.

Die gasheer en gasvrou is baie aangenaam. Die kothuis se breekgoed is absoluut substandaard. Daar is geen braaipan gewees, geen steakmesse vadoekke was vuil, geen breekware pas bymekaar nie, geen wynglase pas bymekaar nie, die kastrolle het geen deksels, die toilet het gelek. Die wildspaaie in die plaas het beslis aandag nodig.

Great to be able to relax in nature.

The host and hostess are very pleasant. The cottage's crockery is absolutely substandard. There was no frying pan, no steak knives dish towels were dirty, no crockery matched, no wine glasses matched, the saucepans had no lids, the toilet leaked. The game paths in the farm definitely need attention.

Ons het 'n dag vroeër vertrek a.g.v. verveling en geen manier van selfsorg.

Ons is nie die soort mense wat oor alles kla nie, maar is tog ongelukkig oor ons ondervinding by MTT. Ons kon nie oor die bestuur en fasiliteit se skoonheid ens. kla nie. Ons het duidelik, op skrif versoek dat die verblyf binne-in Dinokeng moet wees en dat dit selfsorg moet wees. Die naaste ingang in Dinokeng is, verstaan ons van MaTalaTale se personeel, sowat 30 km van laasgenoemde af en die toegangsfooi taamlik hoog sodat ons elke dag wat ons Dinokeng sou besoek hierdie fooi sou moes betaal. MTTA het nie voldoende toersuting om maaltye voor te berei nie. Daar was slegs fasiliteit on koffie of tee te maak nie. Breekware was 2 koffie bekers, 2 borde, 2 pap/nageregbakkies, 2 messe/vurke/vurke d.w.s. geen van die benodigdhede om maaltye voor te berei nie. Daar was wel 'n braai maar geen bakke om braai-items te hanteer nie. Ook geen braaivurk nie. Ook was daar geen werksblad om kos op voor te berei nie. Verder was daar geen moontlikheid om self te ry en wild te besigtig nie of te stap nie. Die woongebied is afgekamp en besoekers is verplig om binne die kamp te bly (die rede dat ons vroeg vertrek het soos hierbo genoem). Geen etes behalwe ontbyt word bedien sodat gaste self moet sorg vir etes en sonder die nodige toerusting. Weereens die personeel by Ma TalaTala is besonder behulpsaam en vriendelik. Die probleem was sonder twyfel dat die webtuiste nie die inligting vooraf gestel het nie.

We left a day earlier due to boredom and no means of self-care.

We are not the type of people to complain about everything, but are nevertheless unhappy about our experience at MTT. We could not rave about the management and facility's cleanliness etc. don't complain We have clearly requested, in writing, that the accommodation must be within Dinokeng and that it must be self-catering. The nearest entrance in Dinokeng is, we understand from MaTalaTale's staff, about 30 km from the latter and the entrance fee is quite high so that we would have to pay this fee every day we would visit Dinokeng. MTTA does not have adequate equipment to prepare meals. There was only a facility to make coffee or tea. Crockery was 2 coffee mugs, 2 plates, 2 porridge/dessert bowls, 2 knives/forks/forks i.e. none of the necessities to prepare meals. There was a braai but no trays to handle braai items. No braai fork either. Also, there was no worksheet to prepare food on. Furthermore, there was no possibility to drive and view wildlife or walk by yourself. The residential area is cordoned off and visitors are required to stay inside the camp (the reason we left early as mentioned above). No meals apart from breakfast are served so guests have to take care of meals themselves and without the necessary equipment. Once again the staff at Ma TalaTala are exceptionally helpful and friendly. The problem was undoubtedly that the website did not pre-set the information.

Nie gepas vir selfsorg nie.

Ma Tala Tala Wildlife Reserve 's response

Beste Dewald,
Die omskrywing op alle eenhede se kwotasies is baie spesifiek, met 'n mikrogolf en 'n yskasie.
Daar is geen rede om in die wasbak te was soos gestel nie en sou ook teen ons reels wees m.b.t. septiese tenks.
Die Lodge bied 'n pragtige Boma met vuurpit en dubbel-diep-trof vlekfrye-staal wasbak, asook stofie, aspook warmwater slegs 10 meter weg van die Chalets af en is boonop verniet.
Personeel gaan uit hulle pad uit en sal met graagte ook was soos wat dit nodig is en/of ander geriewe bied vir die menige braai geriewe ens.
Ons hoop julle is so gewys en dit spyt ons dat jul nie tevrede was met die uitstekende waarde vir geld aanbieding van Matalatala nie.

Baie slegte ervaring, slegs goed vir 'n trou venue.

Eenhede is nie geskik vir selfsorg nie, en die paaie is sleg indien jy nie 'n voertuig het wat grondpaaie kan ry nie. Verblyf ten strengste aanbeveel vir trougaste alleenlik. Geen selfsorg.

Beste Riaan

Ons bedank u vir u besoek, asook jou resensie. Meer spesifiek verwelkom ons positiewe kritiek en poog om die beste vir ons klient te lewer.

Dankie dan ook vir die 3-ster gradering op sekuriteit en skoonheid

Ons is nie 'n Primere "Trou Venue" nie. Ons is 'n Wildreservaat met gepaartgaande reels, ook ten opsigte van musiek en reservaat hek tye, net aanlyn besprekings ens., daarom ons wonderlike resensies van klein groepies, stilte, rus en vrede.

Ons mislei nie gaste nie, eerder bied ons mikrogolf en kroeg yskas met 2-persoon basiese skottelgoed en enige ander geriewe soos per aanvraag van die gas aangebied deur ons op-terrein-woonagtig gasvrou. Verskeie braai areas en boma verniet beskikbaar.

'n Bosveld Wildsbestemming en grondpaaie vorm deel van die natuur en die omgewing. Ons is ook nie in beheer of onderhoud van publieke paaie nie, maar ons is wel altyd baie dankbaar vir reen van bo ek kan ook vir u se dat ons wesenlik bydra tot herstel van sulke paaie om die gemeenskap ook by te staan.

U was omtrent die enigste gas a.g.v. 'n groep bespreking van 1 aand uit al die naweek aande, en u is ingelig dat van die gaste ook hul eie troue (30 gaste) in die aand sou geniet net soos enige ander gesellige groep. Verder was die funksie slegs ook 1 aand van u verblyf.

Bestuur het die Sondag oggend aangeklop, maar gesien dat u toe reeds al die reservaat verlaat het op 'n uitstappie. Ons het persoonlik u telkemale probeer opspoor. U is weg en dit met alle kamer en toegang sleutels, sonder om iemand in kennis te stel. Die personeel neem ook verantwoordelik oor u veiligheid en dus het ons bekommerd geraak.

U het hele reservaat gehad om op eie te geniet vir die res van die langnaweek en dit spyt ons dat u nie ons komplimentere wildrit aangebied en/of 'n ekstra aand aanbod kon geniet nie.

Ons hek sluit 18:00, u het Sondag aand 22:00 terug gekeer in die stikdonker en in die reen, terwyl ons personeel wag en sommige slaap, waarna ons personeel wat dagskof werk u moes bystaan buite ons eiendom en insleep ens.

Ons het gepoog om beste te lewer as diens, alhoewel dit buite ons hek ook buite ons beheer is.

Ons hoop dat u wel in die toekoms weer ons sal ondersteun en ons wens u wel.

Daar is skottelgoed in die kamer, maar geen wasbak of iets om dit mee te was en af te droog nie. Oor die algemeen lekker, maar lugverkoeling in die kamer sal 'n positiewe punt wees.

Heerlike naweek saam met goeie vriende in die bosveld.

Ons gasheer, Abri, was byderhand vir enige iets sou ons dit nodig kry en ons huisie was great, mooi skoon met alles wat ons nodig het in die bos. 'n lig by die braai sal even greater wees. Daar is volop wild om te gaan kyk en met al die lekker reën is die bos regtig mooi. Net 'n stukkie informasie - selfoonsein is maar sleg daar bo op die berg, maar dit was fantasties, want niemand was behep met hul fone nie en ons kon die bos terdeë geniet.

Great weekend with good friends in the bushveld.

Our host, Abri, was on hand for anything we needed and our little house was great, nice and clean with everything we needed in the forest. a light at the braai would be even greater. There is plenty of wildlife to see and with all the nice rain the forest is really beautiful. Just a bit of information - cell phone signal is bad up there on the mountain, but it was fantastic because no one was obsessed with their phones and we could thoroughly enjoy the forest.

Very relaxing, easy going weekend. Great place to unwind.

We enjoyed our weekend - met great people and had a very relaxing time. The semi-catering facilities need to be more clear as we didn't realise we would need to bring braai tongs and possibly a skottel and a few other items to make things easier - the general kitchen facilities could do with an upgrade, very low sink, not much hot water and plates and utensils in each unit could be more. Great having access to ice machine and glasses etc from the hall. On the whole though an enjoyable stay and would recommend it for a big group of friends looking for a weekend getaway.

Wonderlik om tyd in die natuur te spandeer.

Die akkommodasie was netjies, skoon en volledig. Die personeel was vriendelik en gretig om help. Ek kry die gevoel dat Ma Tala Tala gaan 'n gunstelingwegbreekplekkie word vir die wat uit die gejaag van die stad wil kom. Ons het spesifiek gegaan om ons siele te verkwik in die natuur en was nie teleurgesteld nie. Met sebras, kameelperde, rooibokke, waterbokke en nog meer wat net buite the kamp loop was dit presies wat ons verwag het.

We went specifically to refresh our souls in nature and were not disappointed. With zebras, giraffes, impalas, waterbucks and more walking just outside the camp it was exactly what we expected.

Not recommended.

As an instant hotel we expected comfort and leisure. Someones home offered for rent is what this is, someone lived here before and is now renting it as holiday home and we rated it poorly. This is the very first time I have left a review after any stay at a place and we have been all over. Being a middle class household we don't travel expensive at all so we are not posh and fancy people be any means. We booked at Ma Tala Tala because we love the bush and the old farm house vibe was appealing to us. On arrival we opened the door with the very unorganised set of keys none clearly marked. We were hit with a very horrible musty smell like the old smell and a house that had been left closed for years. The bread board was so worn and disgusting. None of the cutlery and dishes matched and some where bent and damaged. The beds were absolutely unacceptable. Our main room bed frame was so bad it was broken and you could see it on the floor under the bed. the furniture was so outdated its depressing. The main room door can't open because there is no key and it was chained closed with such a thick chain which is very worrying to guests. The 3rd room, otherwise labelled by our family as a dorm room or hospital room, the frame from the window was totally out of the window so it could just be pushed out. The curtains were all off their hooks in that room. We were very shocked to hear that the game drive costs R250 per person and all there is no game on the farm only thing we saw was 4 giraffe buck here and there and zebra or two, which was the highlight sadly and I love giraffes. We stayed 2 nights and after an absolutely horrible sleep in main room we moved to the 3rd room with our 2 kids to sleep on the spare beds hoping for a better night but the beds over all in the house are just horrible. The lounge couches have slashes on the arms. I found a old empty box of cigarettes under the main bed as it wasn't cleaned properly. These bedrooms are in desperate need of a make over and there are no head boards. The management when we arrived were very friendly and on departing at 09:35 to drop off the helper for cleaning the gentlemen was also very friendly. I find carpets in place for holiday inappropriate as we don't know the hygiene levels of them so that was horrible. Garden within the house was terrible red sand no effort has gone into trying to maintain it around the house area. The furniture around the house is very mismatched old damaged and just put there for space closure. Nothing is functional or working. The desk in the main rooms drawers are broken with no chair so what is the point. Room 3 had 4 peaces of different and old wood furniture that is terrible quality and some doors all broken or not functional. Please advise the owners they are not able to charge the amount they are charging if your stay isn't at a certain standard. We didn't feel safe at all in the home while there so we all had basically no sleep.

The "chalet" is a 20 square meter room! Very disappointing when looking at the photos on the website. Take pictures so the size of the unit is deceiving.

Overall a very disappointing experience. Our neighbors in number 10 packed up after a while and drove to other options. Expectations are created with photos of a chalet and then you get a room. The coffee station is a kettle on a very small microwave. Coffee and sugar are offered, but you cannot drink them because there are no cups/mugs. At almost R900.00 a night I feel robbed and ripped off.

It is an amazing holiday destination/

Ria received us very warmly. She did not only tell us where to find places, but practically went with us to show where the swimming pool, braai areas etc. are. I loved the gas braaier. We enjoyed viewing animals. The rooms are neat and beautiful. We were not even hurried up to book out. I will definitely visit Ma Tala Tala.

Ma Tala Tala was a great stay for our family. There is no TV, no busy life, just pure relaxation. We absolutely loved our stay at Ma Tala Tala. Ria was so sweet and accommodating. My 5 year old son did not want to leave. Our morning walks seeing wild life will be a holiday I will cherish forever. Thank you Ma Tala Tala. We will be back.

Van aankoms tot vertrek baie tuis gevoel. Genoeg wild gesien en lekker gebraai. Het rugby saam met Eddy (gasheer) gekyk. Jammer sy Blou Bulle het verloor. Grondpad was nogal 'n challenge. Sien klaar uit na my volgende besoek aan Ma Tala Tala.

Wonderlike bosveldstilte met goeie. Netjiese verblyf.

Goeie keuse vir 'n wegbreek met vriende of 'n gesin. Die selfsorg-eenhede kan net beter toegerus word met wynglase, eetgerei ens. Braaiplekke is 'n bietjie ver van die eenhede en 'n asblik by elk sal goed wees. Boma is baie goed! Vriendelike diens!

Pragtige omgewing met wild.

Ons het heerlik by Ma Tala Tala gebly. Die 6-slaper is 'n behoorlike tweeslaapkamerhuis met twee badkamers in die bosveld wat met 'n elektriese heining omhein is. Daar is 'n lekker stoep met ingeboude braaier.

Vir my was dit gerieflik genoeg.

Ons is geskuif na 2 kamers toe aangesien my ouers (85, 80 jaar oud) saam met ons daar was. Die feit dat dit kamers was, verstaan ek dat slegs sekere dinge nodig is in die 1-kamer chalet. Aangesien ons egter vit die hele naweek daar was en self moes kosmaak was daar sekere dinge wat ek gemis het, soos bv. skerp messies, bakke, ens. Die bestuurderes het uit haar huis uit gehelp sover sy kon, maar dit het tog gepla. Soos verduidelik, voldoen dit wat daar is wel aan die vereistes in die die lig gesien van dat dit slegs 'n oornagfasiliteit is.

For me it was convenient enough.

We were moved to 2 rooms as my parents (85, 80 years old) were there with us. The fact that it was rooms, I understand that only certain things are needed in the 1-room chalet. However, since we were there the whole weekend and had to cook ourselves, there were certain things that I missed, such as e.g. sharp knives, bowls, etc. The managers helped her out of the house as much as she could, but it still bothered her. As explained, what is there does meet the requirements given that it is only an overnight facility.

Great potential for a wedding or conference venue.

Unless you book one of two houses available the remainder of the accommodation is like glamping but sleeping in a room with a shower. The facilities are not good or adequate for the glamping accommodation. The price for the glamping accommodation will allow one to book and stay at much nicer places.

Weg van die stad.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Die kamer is netjies en ruim. Ons het wel gevoel dat 'n tweeplaatstofie handig sou wees. Om die potjie pap te maak saam met die braaivleisie, of ontbyt. Daar is nie 'n restaurant op die perseel nie, die naaste winkels is 'n hele entjie se ry, en dis nogal beperk met net 'n mikrogolf. Dankie vir die Weber wat nader getrek is vir ons om te kon braai by ons kamer. Ons tyd was te beperk om die hele reservaat deur te stap, maar in die entjie wat ons wel gestap het was daar heelwat diere. Was lekker om so in die bos te kon wegbreek uit die stad.

Away from the city.

We received a friendly reception. The room is neat and spacious. We felt that a two plate stove could have been handy. To make some pap with the braai meat, or for breakfast. There is no restaurant on the premises, the closest shops is quite a drive away and it is quite limited with only a microwave. Thank you for the Weber that could be dragged closer to our room to braai. Our time was too limited to walk through the whole park, but the little distance we did walk we saw quite a few animals. It was nice to enjoy a bushveld-getaway out of the city.

Bush experience at it's best and for those who want to relax. For the nature lovers.

Two bedroom 6 sleep accommodation as if you are at your own home in the bush. Accommodation is isolated up in the mountain with lovely view. No microwave, no electric kettle (water to be boiled on stove with kettle) and no fans in house (might be needed for the hot SA summers). Accommodation is fenced and there was no need to take special care of our 3 year old grandchild.

Spent a fabulous weekend break. Karl was very hospitable. The house was specious and clean. The walks around the reserve was magical, seeing the giraffe, kudu, zebra and wildebeest at close quarters. Martin took us for a sunset/moonlight drive and I was very impressed that he knew exactly what we drank and who we were, without meeting us before. Well done Karl for briefing him. Nothing was too much trouble and we had a wonderful time, getting away from the rat race. So happy there was no television in the house, definitely not needed.

Its a nice, lonely private place to spend time with your close group of friends all together.

It needs a swimming pool at the big house. There is a koi pond there, which is of no use. Rather converting it into a small pool will also satisfy the visitors.

Good day Anil,
Thank You for the kind comment and to have had you stay with us.
Us being the conservationists are waiting for a new home for the Koi to be completed and then this will be exactly what we envisage to do as well as a new small pool at the other family unit, will happen asap .
