Lorna is a passionate and very experienced horsewoman and riding trainer. They tick all the boxes for our young daughters riding lessons. Very welcoming and down to earth.

My brother stayed at the backpackers with a few friends last year and had a lovely time. He is planning on coming back here for the wonderful service. It is also very affordable.

Best time ever! I come every year for the Argus (Capetown Cycle Tour). Everyone in the establishment makes you feel like family. The location, gardens, amenities, and friendly faces make my year... EVERY YEAR,

There is this dog called Dylan who collects rocks. Worth the visit.

Home away from home in a relaxed setting. Many people who stay there become part of the extended family. Lorna and Alan are an amazing couple. I have to end on the best part for me is the horses with Lorna the qualified instructor and Desiree her assistant both full of energy. Fat Pony the best place to be.

The place is definitely not what they advertising online and on Airbnb. The house is filthy and none of the entertainment as advertised is available the pool table is covered with old rubbish and the kitchen dirty as hell. When we complained they told they have been drinking since 11 the morning and we need to excuse them. Absolutely not worth the stay and the setting horrible.

What a shocking experience! Arrived there after being involved in a car accident; when explaining to the landlady that I was just involved in a serious car accident (the evidence of a badly damaged car in front of her desperate eyes), and therefore dont have transport, and will not be able to stay the weekend (after having paid my deposit for the first night, which I knew Id forfeit), she bullied her poor husband into trying to extort the following nights pay from me as well, saying that Im making up an excuse!For the record, the place is noisy, dirty, worn-out mattresses and moslty run-down. No reports on fleas and fungus at this time, but will report back as details become known.I wouldnt recommend it to my worst enemy.Police records and photographs of the accident scene available for inspection upon request.This is one of those worst nightmares you dont want to experience, phat, phony or otherwise!Youll have a friendlier reception if you pitched your tent on the N1 highway right next door.
