    It's not the closest location for gates to Kruger, but they manage this well.

    Wonderful facilities. It is beautiful, and for our first stay in Africa, it felt safe but also authentic. Nice gardens and rooms. The cooking in the kitchen was great, and the pool area and other common facilities were well cared for and relaxing.

    On the first night, it was a little quiet and the staff less attentive, though this improved on the second and third night. Our room was close to reception and the car park so we were woken each morning at 5am by people going on safaris and staff talking.

    Great size room, traditionally decorated which made it feel more authentic. Huge bathroom! The bed was comfortable to sleep in with soft linen. The food changed each meal time so although some parts were buffet, self-serve style, you weren’t eating the same things. All the meals we had were fresh, and delicious - it was great to be able to try some traditional African foods in smaller amounts without worry of waste. The chef was friendly and helpful when serving. The breakfast bag they prepared for our Safari day was amazing - so much in there! Very reasonable drink prices from the bar with plenty of choice. They arranged our safaris without any bother - quick and easy via email before we arrived.

    The road leading up to the accommodation was being redone. There are quite a few potholes along the route as well, I highly recommend that you take an SUV car for comfort.

    The staff are amazing and really accommodated out big family well. The rooms which we were allocated were close to each other and this just made it convenient. The rooms are a good size

    I didn't like how we were rushed to dish food at a restaurant. The person dishing us food even collected my plate whilst I was still eating. She had to be told that I am still eating. It felt like we were battling for the same food that I paid for. I even wish I got her name. If only we knew, we were never going to include a halfboard in our stay. We also explained that we don't understand Tshonga and that didn't stop her from addressing us in Tshonga.

    It's peaceful place . I liked seeing the animals. The itself was comfortable.

    We felt the front of the house team member should respect that guest come for a break away and should be mindful of personal boundaries. This includes making one feel like we are guests and not their chomie.

    The game drive and activities with Aaron was excellent. Our family was well taken care of for the duration of our stay. Aaron provided so much knowledge and care for our safari, he wssl extremely patient while we captured photos of a kill by lions. The team took care to book all of our activities, taking away a bit of admin from us. :)
