My mother and I found Paul and Marianne to be wonderful hosts. We were greeted within minutes of arriving and given tips on what was what and where. In the kitchen was an informative folder of the local dining places,supermarkets the closest doctor's if needed and the closest town. It also had the history of the local Swannanoa area and how iSwannanoa came to be. (Personally I found it very interesting reading). They were also very accommodating as we were there for the first 2 night's away for the 3rd and then back for one more night before checking out ..it was not a problem. Having guests over in the cottage for dinner was not a problem either. The photo's on Air BnB do this lovely place justice and I will definately be back. I would recommend this lovely Sanctuary in the Country to anyone.
