    21 July 2008

    "This B&B was an excellent place for our family to stay at after the long journey from the U.s.It was about a 30 minute taxi ride from the airport (that Errol at Kalunga organized for us). Kalunga was in a pleasant, safe part of town.The cottages were very "African", but at same time comfortable and clean.We loved the garden, complete with a weaverbird making its nest!The staff was pleasant and the breakfast was fine.I would definitely return if I will have the opportunity to return,"

    14 March 2008

    "I had a great stay in Kulanga. The room was very beautiful and clean in African style. It is a B&B with a fantastic breakfast, but with a fridge and a microwave in the room is also easy to prepare a small meal for the evenings. The owner Errol was very helpful and the staff, specially Nomsa, was very friendly. The area is safe and quiet. There is a small supermarket around the corner and it is safe to walk there for your shopping. "
