"Anneline and Sewus have created a beautiful facility in a tranquil environment Attention to detail is unbelievable, the decor and quality of furnishings are quite remarkable. Having travelled South Africa for many years and staying in numerous B&B’s I can confidently say that Theebos is my best ever experience. This is an ‘upscale’ property that is worthy of a much higher price. Without over elaborating, it would be simpler to just say FAULTLESS "

The unit is very very big and definitely could host a family quite easily. There seemed to be too few parking bays for the number of guests, but we sorted that out amongst each other. All in all a pleasant experience. "
