"If you have the chance to visit Belinda and Tony - do it! You won’t regret it!
We were warmly welcomed and shown to our camping pitch. Straight away Belinda helped us get food from a nearby restaurant and Tony helped us build a campfire. This set the tone for the rest of the stay. We felt incredibly welcome the whole time and it was a genuine pleasure getting to know Tony and Belinda.
I would highly recommend the historical tour with Tony and Belinda. We visited the Penn Centre and learned about the important purpose it has served over the years. We saw a house once occupied by Dr. MLK Jr., and visited a Praise House. From talking with Tony and Belinda we learned a great deal about Gullah culture and tradition.
The next day we helped Tony on the farm in return for a fishing trip. It was an unbelievable experience. In the evening we learned how to prepare fish and shrimp and we all ate a beautiful meal together.
I can’t recommend Belinda and Tony enough. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!"
