Ol Jogi has 11 bedrooms inside eight cottages — as nicely as an underground tunnel that usually takes you from inside the house specifically to a hiding location at a watering gap, for unbelievable wildlife viewing.” — Craig Beal, Vacation Over and above

The five-bed room Kainga Rua is close to a few ski mountains (there is certainly also a heli pad if you want to head out for a day of heli-mountain biking or heli-skiing).” — Cassandra Bookholder, Camelback Travel

“The see would not get better than the three-suite Nina villa at Eden Rock in St. Barths. But the inside is similarly attractive, with a non-public art gallery and whisky bar. But it really is comprehensible if all you want to do is sit outside the house and stare.” — Paul Tumpowsky, Skylark
