Way overpriced even for FlyFishing. We did not travel for FlyFishing. There should definitely be more warning on the road to get to Elvinbrook Cottage. There is a very dangerous turn on one section of the road - we drive a Toyota Cruiser and even this did not help us slipping down that very dangerous turn - yes it was raining which made it much worse but without rain if I knew about that turn I would not have booked as rain or no rain the turn is dangerous. There is no shelter if it rains to have a braai - now if you are a South African citizen the rain does not stop you from having a braai - they could have easily just created a shelter against the rain where one could braai - the Weber is also not in good condition as it was assembled incorrectly and the handles are broken. The unit is very outdated so if you are going to pay the price advertised scroll past as it's definitely not worth it.
