One word about this Guest House, "WOWEE".
Good sized pool with loungers all around, some in the sun some in dappled shade, very easy access to rooms via a sloping deck to full wooden decking surrounding the pool area. Security is tops, doors may be left open at nights with a lockable security gate.
Megan is "The Long Story", without her input the ratings would tumble. She is frequently around and always willing, without being intrusive, to suggest trips and to make bookings for evening meals. Megan is an encyclopedia of local knowledge.
If I were able to honour her with a medal for helpfulness and sociability, it would be a solid gold one.
We stayed in Long Story for a few days on a leg of our first trip to South Africa. Simply put, it’s a little haven of luxury. Beautiful decor throughout,... read more the rooms and facilities are spotless and very comfortable. The bed was glorious!

Thank you so much Chereen and Wayne for a very memorable time. We will be back! More
