Stunning area - accommodation very average
Make sure you confirm how many bedrooms you are getting as I assumed we got the 7 as advertised but the owner decides if you need 7 or not - we only got 6 for 9 nonrelated adults - very cozy and half of those beds didn't have sheets on them whole place needs maintenance and updated as very old as I said great area - we still have a fabulous weekend.

A nice weekend away
The host was a pleasure to deal with and arranging our stay was frictionless. Their house was well presented and tidy with a great wood fire that kept us all warm, in a nice area with communal facilities within walking distance.

Relaxing wilderness retreat
Denis’ property is amazing. We went with a group of friends and it was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had. The house has beautiful views, lots of wildlife and beautiful walks. The nearby lagoon and shared pool were also great. Denis is also a lovely host, very accomodating and easy to communicate with.

Good Family Getaway Spot
This was a great place for a family weekend away. Plenty of space for our large family to mingle and also to retreat into our own private bedrooms and ensuites. The extra shared amenities were good too, with the communal tennis court and table tennis table getting a good work out.

Jamevin lodge was amazing!
Excellent place for entertaining large groups! Luckily we didn't hire a bus because it won't make it up to the property, but cars will make it easily. Enjoyed seeing the local wildlife and the views are amazing. Can definitely recommend for anyone wanting a group Holliday house!
