Ian is great host. He is very helpful and accommodating. However, beware of traveling to South Africa in the winter. There is no central heating system, and all the heat came from a small portable gas heater in the living room leaving the rest of the house cold. Thankfully the host provided a heated blanket in one of the rooms though the second room did not have a heated blanket which was unfortunate. For your information, there are dogs in the compound so it can be a bit noisy at times. If you’re looking for a dog friendly place, this is for you. But If you are uncomfortable with dogs, this is not for you. Overall, the villa is beautiful and isn’t too far to many attractions.
