We were happy to accommodate guests form many nations like Argentinia, USA, Canada, Singapore, France, Mozambique, United Kingdom, South Africa and Germany.

Dreamfields Guesthouse: Experience

Nowadays it is easy to find reviews about establishments on pages like Tripadvisor, Holidaycheck and others. But it is really an honour when guests publish their experiences on their own webpage or blog. It is worth reading this one and definitely worth having a look at the beautiful pictures!
Neil & Tina from Dreamfields Guesthouse really appreciate this. Thank you!
