Tankwa is possibly the most unique place you’ll ever come across partly because it is so remote but because of sense of something indescribable...just magic. Deon met us and immediately made us feel so welcome. A few drinks at Onverklaarbar and we were set for the evening. However, Deon had more tricks up his sleeve. We went to watch the sunset , armed with G&Ts and a tie to honour the sunset and at the same time to watch the full moon rise.
    After that a table was set up for us on a roof top with candles to enjoy a braai under the full moon. I could carry on, but let me say just this. There are very few places I have been to that provide this level of personal service that is down to earth and simply incredible.
    Thank you Deon and your crew. See you soon!

  • star rating  On arrival we where greeted by none other than Deon Brilletjies. His only concern was for us to check in and pay before even saying hello. Just a simple welcome... read more would have being nice. If this man run any of my businesses i would loose all my clients, Perhaps people stay because there is n o other alternative close by.
    Deon, you where very unprofessional and rude to us. And by the way the man who did not get out of the car to walk to you are disabled, Think before you judge people.
    As long as you are there i would never recommend the place. BAD ATTITUDE !!!
