    Comfortable, homely and happy!

    Special Sherry and lit fire; pretty little flower vases and sweeties on arrival. Friendly host who is happy to help with anything they can!

    Would have liked a helper to clean alternate days

    Experience 'Out of Africa' in civilised Hillcrest

    We enjoyed a fantastic 8 days in, probably, one of the most unique destinations in the Upper Highway Area. 'The Lapa', is quite unlike anything one might experience in a conventional BnB. It is an inspired, cavernous, thatched, bush lodge, nestled in one of Hillcrests older, more secluded suburbs, resting in a spacious, tropical garden, on the edge of a verdant riverine valley. This magical space is quiet, and peaceful, and deeply relaxing. It is closely situated to Hillcrest's amenities, shopping centres, great restaurants and cafes, and the BUSAMED Hospital (just 15 minutes away). The shining jewel of a swimming pool, and shaded garden, was a welcome feature in the hot weather. The beds were good and firm, and bed linen was 100% natural, cool, cotton. Excellent value for money!

    For people who might be affected by this,... 'The Lapa' is surrounded by nature, in all it's forms! If you don't mind sharing your personal space with Natal's smaller wildlife, then the mosquitos, spiders, other bugs, and bats won't bother you... But if you are sensitive to these critters around you, you might want to look at something less rough and ready... However, you will miss experiencing the cacophony of hundreds of tree frogs in the summer rain, and the presence of spectacular owls, and crested eagles, frequenting the garden.
