Reviews

  • "Fox's Lair was most convenient for visiting Augrabies Falls."

    05 November 2019

    "The accommodation was neat, tasteful, clean and comfortable. They provided us with water, milk, & went out of their way to bring a huge umbrella for the private garden area. It was a hot night so a flat sheet on the bed would have been helpful as the air-conditioner was rather noisy & unfortunately some noisy evening farm equipment.Good security & Louise gave us easy access in and out."

    "This was one of the highlights of our trip to the west coast. If I had known it was as good as it was we would have stayed an extra night. The accommodation was modern and well-equipped and the small garden was a pleasure to sit in with a braai and wood laid on. Best of all, Louise was the perfect host and did everything to make our short stay a pleasant one. I would definitely return, even it was a bit out of our way."
