Yolande and Truus are two fantastic ladies who helped us cleaning the garden and the guesthouse. Their work was impeccable and their communication with us very nice. They felt like a part of our family. They took all the work seriously and they really left an impact. Thank you our dear friends, we hope to see you again!
