  • Our first ever stay in the beautiful dorp of Robertson was perfect.

    Els was the perfect host and welcomed us with her home stocked up on fresh fruit and a delicious Lemon Meringue Pie. This Victorian home dating to the late 1800's /early 1900's has been meticulously restored. The interior design is an eclectic but harmonious mix of antiques, art deco, Africana and contemporary. Highly recommended and looking foward to going back in Summer.

Els' house was also homely, relaxed and spacious enough... Read this review
