My mum and I booked in for two nights at coco’s funky retreat and felt very sad to leave.

Coco’s bungalow is a testament to her creativity. It’s like stepping into a wonderful, colourful, carnival time warp. Everywhere you look there are interesting, eclectic details.

The place is very well equipped and eggs, butter, milk, cereals, spreads, salt and pepper and utensils are all provided. We also used the BBQ while there.

There is a terrific CD and DVD collection and it is quite literally a 6 minute drive to the hot springs and about 20 minutes to some delicious wineries. The description on the website could not be more accurate.

Coco plays the gracious, available host so well and gave assistance as required while giving us our space. We shared a few drinks on our final night there -she and her husband are terrific company.

If you want a different, personal experience with warm hosts, then this is the place for you! We plan to visit again next year J
