Equleni is a lovely farm. The units are well positioned so that you are left in tranquility and don't really notice the other guests. The onsite team are fantastic.The Tuffet sports stunning views and has everything one needs to disconnect and be emersed in the surrounding country side.

We had a more than fantastic stay at Equleni Farm. Absolutely beautiful location, wonderfully equipped cabin which is completely private. The views are even more spectacular than the photos. Beautiful walks you can do on the farm as well as in the surrounding areas. The extra large hot tub was so enjoyable, and it was already fired up before our arrival. We immediately felt serene and at peace when we arrived at the cabin, and the whole stay was just pure magic. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone! And would love to stay there again.

I can only agree with all the previous fantastic reviews of Diane's little piece of paradise!We had a wonderful time at The Tuffet on the Equleni Farm and it felt very private, secure, and homey. Everything was super clean, well thought-out, and good restaurants (for example Oysters R Us) and supermarkets are very close by! The very cute cat that comes and visits, the jacuzzi, and the natural surroundings only further made our stay incredibly peaceful and cosy.Thank you for a wonderful stay!
