Peace on earth.

If you want to have peace, this is the place for you. Except for the host, you are the only people there. Heaven to reset. The host is helpful but stays out of the space, giving you privacy. The space is big, with a small kitchen, but it has everything you need. Loved the Lapa.

Ons het heerlik gekuier, lekker gerus en sal beslis weer daarheen gaan.

Baie dankie aan die vriendelike gasheer. Die plek was skoon en netjies. Soveel moeite gedoen met baie ekstras wat mens nie verwag nie. Rustige atmosfeer. Mens kan nie ophou kyk na al die tierlantyntjies op die perseel nie.

We had a great time, rested well and will definitely go there again.

Many thanks to the friendly host. The place was clean and tidy. So much effort put in with many extras that one doesn't expect. Calm atmosphere. One can't stop looking at all the tiger lantins on the premises.

Baie rustig en ontspannend.

Dit was verskriklik lekker en het die rus nodig gehad. Was baie rustig en het die wereld se dinge daar buite vergeet. Die kinders het die swem- en braaigeriewe baie geniet. Ek sal The Lazy Lapa definitief vir al my vriende en familie aanbeveel. Het regtig baie geniet en Werner was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Unique farm house in the heart of Magalies.

The Lazy Lapa is a perfect home away from home when traveling with children. We found that there is so much to do in the surrounding area. The accommodation is comfortable and exciting for children, with lots to look at and explore. The kids loved the bunnies and chickens. We had hours of fun in the little pool and the braai area.

Jan is 'n bedagsame gasheer en het geen moeite ontsien nie om ons verblyf gemaklik te maak.

All in all 'n baie goeie ervaring. Die huis en tuin het interessante en kreatiewe dekor waarin ek my verlustig het. Alles wat nodig is vir 'n lekker verblyf, is tot jou beskikking. Die kombuis is goed ingerig — lekker groot yskas, gasstoof, mikrogolfoond en klein tweeplaatstoof met 'n oondjie. Snags was winterkoud, maar die stofie het die huisie in 'n japtrap verwarm en in die bed was ons almal knus en warm. Ons het heerlik op die stoep en in die lapa

Jan is a thoughtful host and spared no effort to make our stay comfortable.

All in all a very good experience. The house and garden have interesting and creative decor which I delighted in. Everything you need for a nice stay is at your disposal. The kitchen is well equipped — nice big fridge, gas stove, microwave oven and small two plate stove with an oven. At night it was winter cold, but the stove warmed the house in no time and in bed we were all cozy and warm. We had a great time on the stoep and in the lapa

Lekker spasie binne en buite met 'n gasvrou wat die ekstra myl stap.

Heerlik gebly en die omgewing verken. Eenjarige seuntjie het baie gehou van al die speelperdjies in die huis en speelgoed buite, ook die hoenders langs die huis. Lekker afgekoel in die splash pool.

Nice space inside and out with a hostess who goes the extra mile.

Had a great stay and explored the area. One year old boy really liked all the toy horses in the house and toys outside, also the chickens next to the house. Cool off in the splash pool.

We had a wonderful experience at Lazy Lapa. The accommodation was clean and you can see so much thought and love has gone into the decor. Brenda was a perfect hostess. The pastries we got for breakfast were wonderful and our week ended off perfectly with a beautifully arranged full breakfast. Top marks to this hostess and establishment!

Thank you very, very much for leaving our guesthouse in such a clean and neat state. Your group was wonderful to host. I am sorry about the small fridge, we are hoping to replace it with a larger fridge asap. We usually cater for 4 people, thanks for pointing out that larger groups such as yours need a larger fridge.
