Being a short drive just out of Gabs, you enter an oasis of calm, nature and tranquility. We stayed in the new Tswii Villa. It was immaculately finished, open spaces, light streaming through the sliding doors of both living room and bedroom, spacious bathroom, lovely shaded patio with braai area and a plunge pool to cool off in the afternoon sun.
Not forgetting the private picnic spot, (each villa has their own designated and private picnic area out of site from the others), sitting by the river and watching the world go by was amazing.
The check in process was seamless and contactless and that was great as everything worked as was communicated.
The host was great and very responsive to questions and queries.
Definitely coming back and thank you for your hospitality.
