bitumen road becomes gravel. Then it is only one more kilometre - Wait-a-while is signposted on the left.

perfect for the larger family
We loved our stay at Wait-a-While. Our hosts had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. They had even provided towels for the pool!
The house is perfect for the larger family (or in our case 2 families) I would not hesistate to recommend this accomodation.
