    Everything about the place is memorable and we cannot get enough of. The reception by Phumi and Lindokuhle was warm, friendly and informative excellent service from the entrance. Our room 206 was clean and smelt fresh, our bathroom felt like it had not been used by anyone before. The two guys from the ZIPLINE;Simphiwe and Sibusiso are proffessionals, from the gearing up,tutor instructions up to the last landing platform. They took us step by step and were very careful. Before the Zipline we went for Quads by a very patient young man Phumlani. He also took us through the process first before gearing us up and did not rush us through the trails the 2hrs felt very little. After the day was done we got to relax at the Raptors bar with Mcebo who has a thing with cocktails. Every order we made came out exceptional. We definitely going back. Almost forgot the kitchen!!!! the waiiters were sooo attentive. The chef himself came out to ask us about his creations... Perfect every time.

    It's ok though the mall closes too early even on holidays.

    It's ok though the mall closes too early even on holidays. Richards Bay is clean but when you at the open parking's of the Boardway by Bluff meat entrance, it's super untidy it's like you have moved to a different place all together. It's a little bit scarry to park and leave your car there.

    The Canfields were very breath taking if you love nature. Empangeni Mall has almost every shop that you need. Tasted the new famous chicken restaurant called Pedro. Everything is close to each other. I mean ATMs, restaurants, gas stations and food shopping centers.

    Was a great adventure, Lodge facilities very peaceful and relaxing overlooking the water hole. Homely food in the restaurant. Roads need attention, but am sure will improve with time. Communal kitchen and braai areas had everything needed. Beautiful scenery, sunrises and sunsets.

    Mkuze is the best place to stay if you want to visit the Mkuze Game Reserve. We saw plenty at the two hides - herds of wildebeest, impala and nyala and plenty of birds. It's about 60 km to the Memorial Gate entrance to the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve - we got up early and got there as the gates opened to spend the day in the reserve. It's also worth driving up Jozini and taking a boat out on the dam. The hotel has a great offering of tours with their own guides.

    Unfortunately, the roads to Gooderson Natal Spa are terrible, potholes all along the route forcing the trip to be much longer than expected. Do not travel on these roads with cars with lowered suspension and definitely stay off these roads after dusk or in rainy conditions. For the amount of time spent travelling from Jhb to Paulpietersburg, we could have driven to Durban in less time and with far better road conditions. Thankfully we do not have small children as this would have a been an even longer road trip!

    Central to a number of tourist attractions, i.e. Umfolozi National Park, St Lucia part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The town is a typical bustling, vibrant rural town, traffic a bit chaotic. I was staying for business purposes, If on vacation I would have probably stayed closer to where the main tourist attractions are.

    I was there for a funeral, honestly i didn't have enough time to explore the area. My driving in town was a nightmare because of the congestion. Went out to buy food and didn't have enough options to choose from.

My family and I enjoyed the boat cruise and being, and we also drove to St Lucia for trip to hluhluwe to see the big five. It is not very far though it's 1 hour drive from Richard's Bay.
