The accommodation is well-appointed and perfectly located in a quiet, private spot away from the main village. Backing onto the Tambo wetlands near Tambo Bay, we were treated to an incredible array of birdlife and wildlife - it added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay, especially during meals and social time with the group. The home itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a truly relaxing and carefree break ![Backing onto wetlsnfs](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/16e85bd0-5121-47a4-9f8c-80952f68f1d0-1770408068203.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth B.

However, preparation for our arrival fell short. No, coffee pods for machine. No instant coffee except for a couple of teaspoons at the bottom of the canister which looked stale. No sugar. No dishwasher powder or tablets. Had to make a 20 min drive to get coffee each morning. No blankets as alternatives to Dunas which we found overhot. ##### Sue B.
