"We absolutely loved our stay. It was perfect for our family and even better that we could bring our dog with us. We enjoyed the beautiful birdlife, the quiet neighbourhood and the lovely local walks. We found the bach to be perfect. Really comfortable and homely. The hosts were so welcoming too!We will certainly be back!"

"Lovely property and lovely people. The property has everything a memorable vacation would need "

"Easy self check in. Kitchen is extremely well equipped for cooking and baking plus air fryer and slow cooker and rice cooker. Great communal areas including outdoor areas which were usable in the bright winter days we were blessed with. Good showers one upstairs bathroom and one downstairs bathroom. Bunk room is downstairs and rest of the bedrooms are upstairs. Light and Bright decor. Great comfy pillows. Many gorgeous wool blankets. We didn’t end up using the wood burner but there was plenty of wood. The house stayed very cosy with just the heat pump run in the morning and later evening. The house is a sun trap in the day. "

"We had a great stay, clean and had everything we needed "

"Tekoa Lodge was perfect for our family ski trip. House is very warm with the woodburner going. Lots of space inside and out. Very short drive to the mountain. The private bush track down the river is also very cool. We would certainly stay again. Oh, and David is an excellent communicator. "

"We found Elizabeth most helpful and it was a beautifully presented, warm and clean home. Thank you "
