Our family of 5 generally enjoyed the stay. The check-in was great, Bertus came over to meet us and was really friendly and helpful with some useful tips. Location was very central for the type of activities we had in mind and the weather played its part as well with sunshine for the majority of the days we were in the house.
There are a couple of maintenance items which need to be looked at to make this an completely enjoyable place to use for a big family. Probably the biggest issue is the rising damp, which caused a variety of side effects (some doors did not close, others were difficult to open, leak on the staircase going downstairs into the play rooms, allergic reaction from the wife to the damp).
Space is phenomenal - on the rainy day, the kids were able to keep themselves busy indoors for a couple of hours in between outings. Also, the fireplace is pretty effective on colder days.
The caretaker is helpful and is on the property for any queries - this was quite useful. Security is also great - one of my kids pressed the wall-mounted panic button while playing and there were a couple of people knocking at the door within minutes.
When we were staying at the house, there was someone staying in the level above and there was a bit of noise going into the early evening - just something to know if you are planning on a quiet vacation.
