Getting around

Being a bit away from it all a vehicle is a must. We are about 5km from the closest town and bus stop. Most of the main roads in our area are paved, however the last 4.5km to our house is dirt. A 4x4 is more comfortable and will allow you to explore even further, but for those quick runs into town, a car works fine.

Interaction with guest

We live in the main house next door, but you may remain as private as you wish. We are always happy to talk with guests about our experiences and theirs, as well as gladly give information about the area and it's amenities, or even help coordinate activities and tours. We do our best to be here to welcome you for your scheduled arrival. If we are unable to, we will make arrangements with you.
