    The lighting in the entertainment area could have been better. For some reason you can hear everything in the rooms within the row including use of bathroom etc. We highly recommend you keep your valuables locked away. On the day of checkout the cleaners were cleaning from 9am so we almost felt like we needed to leave even though the owners granted a late checkout. We did not see much of the big 5 in the game reserve compared to what we saw at the kruger park. Please also note the game reserve charges an additional fee of R350 per car and R30 per person.

    The home was beautiful, clean and well equipped. Each en suite room was spacious, the kitchen and entertainment area was beautifully decorated and comfortable. We could book private game drives with Loddy at an additional cost which wad nice. The place was cleaned every day which was a treat. The lodge overlooked the terrains with beautiful views. Entire lodge wad absolutely beautiful. Owners were very accommodating and flexible.

    We had an unforgettable experience celebrating my father’s 70th birthday at this stunning lodge. The decor is luxurious, and the peaceful surroundings made for a perfect getaway. Special thanks to Loddy for his exceptional hospitality and to Bonnie and Caroline for keeping the place spotless. Waking up and falling asleep to the distant roar of a lion was truly amazing. Highly recommend!

    The house has no electricity back up and we suffered long hours without electricity for quite a few times since load shedding was on stage 6, as a result we couldn’t even have a special birthday dinner that we had planned since we had load shedding from 19:00-23:00. The air conditioners for room 2,3&5 need to be checked as they are very weak while the lodge is located in a very hot area.

    Nice and spacious house with quite a few lounges and patios to relax on 👌.

    It would be nice to have some basic condiments such as cooking oil, salt, and pepper available at the lodge so as not to worry about packing them.

    The best part of Sunset Lodge was our ranger Loddy. He was exceptional, from welcoming us on arrival to taking us on our game drives. In fact, all of the staff were wonderful. The place is gorgeous and has an incredible view over the plains; we saw elephant, hippo, rhino and many antelope from the patio. The outdoors showers in each room were highlights, and the beds were very comfy. The rooms themselves are beautiful and decorated tastefully. We loved the ponchos included on the game drives for you to borrow during your stay! Lastly, the layout of the lodge guarantees privacy from your neighbours and you won't see or hear any other people besides those you're staying with.

    The cleanliness of the rooms was not all that great. The dinning area and kitchen has an ant problem. Other than that, great stay.

    Every room had its own bath, toilet, inside and outside shower. The communal area was beautiful including the pool deck and the fire boma area, although we did not utilise it boma.

    The property has no TV and the guys had wanted to watch a rugby game. There were also no basic condiment's in the kitchen e.g salt, which we had taken for granted would be available, for international travelers, shopping for everything including salt became a bit inconvenient. I also would not recommend the spa service option. Our experience was underwhelming.

    The property was luxuriously furnished and just a beautiful space all round offering different spaces to relax, eat, gather for games both inside and outside.

    One of the aircons didn't work and the heat was too much. The place needs attention on maintenance and utensils to keep it at a five star. We had to mix some table setting dinner sets and etc. Gas was not refilled and they only managed to refill a day before our departure. The pool as well had to be worked on prior to us swimming. Paid 150% of the fees 100% to bookings.com and 50% to the host tried to resolve it prior Checking in but didn't get the error rectified and still waiting.

    The place is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Beautiful setting up comfortable beds. Enjoyed visits from wild animals from the comfort of the place. Ice machine was very handy. Easy check in, expect the conservation levies. Awesome staff willing to assist and available. Interesting recycling initiatives on the property.
