Sonja & Henry
Cosy home in a beautiful large garden, very close to the international airport. Our house is suited in a tropical garden, with birds and flowers and exotic fruits. Its ideal for those traveling early in the morning or arriving late at night.
We are a retired couple.
Very close to the airport. We offer shuttle service from and to the airport at an additional cost. There are supermarkets and restaurants in the area, many tourist sites such as the Jewish Savanna, a world heritage site, and other attractions such as botanical gardens, lakes for fishing and the forest for hiking.
