    the breakfast was awesome and always on time. The tranquility was exceptional and worth the time and distance travelled to the venue. The weather was also very good despite it being winter. The garden and land scaping were awesome too.

    This was my third stay at Kaia Tani, and the first under the new ownership. I was delighted to find that it still had the same comfort and charm that I experienced in my previous visits over 20 years ago. Located close to the Phalaborwa entrance...
