November, 2024.10 One of the best places I've stayed! ☺ This place is perfect. It is exactly like the pictures with loads of extra little touches that make it such a great place to stay. The view is even better in real life and there is a large area for storing bags etc. Our host was so friendly and accommodated an early check in that was so helpful. There's a speaker set up with playlists already which adds to the overall ambience of the space. Powerful, hot shower and a great location. ☹ We were really lucky on the first night that no one was staying downstairs so on the second night the hot tub noise meant sitting on the terrace was a little disrupted but that may just be because we were comparing.

We chose Maison Mahogany to use as a base for five days to explore the surrounding area. However, we ended up spending more time at the accommodation than planned,... read more as it was such a lovely place to relax and unwind. We were in the main house, which was lovely and big for just the two of us. We weren't sure if we would use the jacuzzi/ hot tub, as it was the summer and very hot, but we ended up using it every day. The sun didn't reach the south-facing deck during our stay (maybe at other times of the year, it gets the sun), which didn't bother us as the shade was welcome, but may not suit sun worshippers. Also, the lack of aircon wasn't as issue as most of the time there was a welcome breeze (being at the top of a hill) and you can open plenty of windows. We loved our stay and would happily return.

Would gladly stay there again if it was a bit cheaper. Spectacular views yet kinda distracting when happy valley isn’t looking so happy anymore. Nothing to complain about except price.

I was disappointed with the accommodation of Jessica & Jan, represented by Carla.
Of course the view is wonderful, the accommodation is spacious and the bed facing the view... read more very attractive.
But for the price I expected much better. Carla, who was friendly to begin with, was muddled and complicated. I received - without asking - many (too many) messages, in particular about how to get to the AirBnb. Furthermore Carla woke me up at 7:30 am to ask if I was going to stay another night. Inappropriate and disturbing. I decided not to extend my stay as the jacuzzi was not heated enough (33 C in the evening with wind and rain - 27 C in the morning). The sofa is old and uncomfortable. The decoration is dated.
I also found it inappropriate to have to pay the cleaning costs again if I stayed longer. It took a long time for Carla to make a commercial gesture that seemed to go without saying. In short, an 'overrated' place
