‘n Ongelooflike naweek.

Translate to English.
An incredible weekend.
The house is fantastically equipped with everything one needs. The lookout point is walking distance from the house and there is also a bench near the house against the KNP wire where one can sit quietly and watch animals - not that it was at all necessary to move away from the house as the animals moved around the house all the time. Watch out for the baboons - they open doors.

Lovely forest holiday.
Fantastic forest holiday in a comfortable, clean and well-equipped house. We had a variety of animals and birds on our doorstep and the roar of the lions and chatter of the manatees kept us company around the fire every night. What a lovely week.

Great comfort and the air conditioning was certainly a bonus. Lots of wildlife that came to say hello every day. Place is clean and tidy with everything one needs. Owners followed up why power kept tripping. Wish we could have stayed a day longer but unfortunately we had to go back to work. Will definitely book there again. Only wish one could see the river from the cottage.

Everything you need to fully enjoy the forest.
This is a great house in a fantastic location. We could have just walked to the Kransrivier lookout every day and with the multitude of animals that visited the house, which often included a herd of wildebeest and zebras, there was no need to drive anywhere. Summer in the Lowveld can be challenging, but during the day we could cool off in the large plunge pool while the air conditioners in the bedrooms ensured a pleasant night's rest. Maryanne and Dave managed the whole process extremely professionally and made us feel very much at home.

Very neat and clean, will definitely visit there again!
All the house needs is definitely an air conditioner, it was bloody hot and fans don't help! Air conditioning in both rooms and perhaps in the middle (dining room) which may be connected to prepaid electricity so you will have to pay for your enjoyment yourself. Very nice place! Thanks also to Dave for his help and referral to someone to help us with the vehicle!

We had a wonderful time as always. Close to the river and a lovely home.
The Promised Land 's response
Alicia sorry for the delay in replying to your rating. We definitely cleaned the cottage on Wednesday as you were hoping to do the traveling in the evening. What we do have is what we locals call black snow. This is when they burn the sugar cane and it flies through the air especially if there is any wind. We have made arrangements that if we clean the day prior to entry for our neighbor to check for us and if needs be to return and clean up this black dust. So sorry I didn't know as I would have shot back and cleaned it up but we are now going to try to clean on the day of arrival only to ensure this doesn't happen again. Please accept our apologies and we trust you will return again for another visit. Kind regards Maryanne

Goeie more Madelein en familie, ek wil net sê baie dankie vir jou terugvoering en jou aanbeveeling. Dit was so goed om te hoor jy het daar bo geslaap, want dis vir ons die beste kamer in die huis. Die naggeluide en bietjie wind wat deur waai. Ons hoop julle sal weer by ons kom kuier en ons gaan lugreëling insit, maar weet net nie waar nie, miskien in die middel van die sitkamer. Die somer is die warmste in 'n paar jaar maar self ons dorpsmense kry swaar met die hitte. Die mooiste tyd van die jaar is April en Mei. Dan is dit warm in die dag maar koel in die aande. Weereens sê ek net dankie en hopelik sien ons julle weer vir 'n kuier.
Liefde, Maryanne en Dave.

I would definitely recommend "The Promised Land" to nature lovers looking for tranquility and peace. The nature is beautiful, peaceful and dead silent. We had a kudu bull that came to visit every night, he seems to spend the night behind the house. Zebras also came to visit. The house is comfortable and meets everything one might need. It is terribly homely, feels as if it is permanently inhabited or if the people are perhaps just going somewhere soon. Thank you very much for letting us use it, it was a lovely weekend.
