I enjoyed my stay at Carrington, the house is clean, neat and specious. It felt home away from home. Ayanda the caretaker was wonderful and helpful. Will definitely come back.

Beautiful Guest House. Clean and Peaceful. Affordable. It was nice to just hideout and unwind. It was only for one night, but we are sure to come back for a longer stay.
