On Lilitha Boutique Farm Lodge — East London
“Location is great when you want a quiet peaceful place, rooms are wide, clean and beautiful with aircon and electric blankets. I was on standard room, there are luxurious rooms but I felt luxury even in my room. Staff is friendly and informative, food is great and neatly displayed. I love the place and I would recommend it and probably coming back when I'm around East London.”Billy Situnzi
