Hermanus - Such a beautiful stay
A beautiful house - well equipped and managed well by Firefly Villas. Would suggest the description of swimming pool is better described for marketing purposes as a plunge pool. There is everything in this house to make a stay very enjoyable and we loved the farmstead like patio overlooking the garden. Not a complaint but an observation, the electric gate did not work, had to be opened and shut manually and the hedges really needed a trim. minor details but would have made a difference. Any hiccups, queries we encountered were dealt with professionally and promptly with the management team.
