Very central and convenient for our needs however, we noticed that the property needs an upgrade.

Pros: Views were wonderful. Sounds of the ducks and birds a reminder that one is in Africa. Cons: Some general upgrading and maintenance is needed, particularly outside. The pool needs to be reconditioned.
