"Beautiful clean, spacious room. Comfortable bed and fantastic rain head shower. From our balcony we had the most amazing view over the lake. The staff are very attentive, Peter their maitre de gives the most professional service we have had since leaving Australia. The owners Kumudula and his wife Sulani (I hope I've spelt your names right) made us feel so welcome from the start. We drank tea with them and on our second day joined them for a trip on the lake in their boat. Fantastic sights...
