The location of the lodge and the privacy of each room. The attention from the staff, Mlungi, Ayanda and Small was exceptional. Really enjoyed our stay and will definetely return.

The rooms need an upgrade. It would be nice if there was a hide.

Birding was fantastic. The food was nice and the staff were very friendly.

The roads leading up to the lodge are terrible and riddled with potholes. Also, as a solo traveler, I sometimes felt a bit overlooked by the cooking staff compared to how couples and families were treated. For example the cook would call out that food is ready and I was left standing at the food counter without acknowledgment, even though I was standing right infront of her and no one else was waiting, while others were engaged with right away. On one occasion, the cook joked that she remembered my name “because you're alone,” which felt light-hearted in the moment but a bit off in hindsight. I also noticed small things like having to ask repeatedly for ice, or drinks being handed over unopened that added to the sense that solo guests weren’t given quite the same attention. It wasn't a huge issue, but the contrast made me feel a bit out of place at times.

Very nice location. Very peaceful and you are surrounded by bush and wildlife. The food was top notch aswell. I really enjoyed my suite and it was relaxing sitting outside in the jacuzzi whilst being surrounded by forest. It's also nicely private and cozy so I can imagine it's great for couples aswell. I also enjoyed the guide's openness to help, to accommodate and overall friendlyness. Fantastic job.

The bathroom was a bit older than the fotos and quite damp. The check in was a bit unorganized because our roof wasn’t ready when we arrived at 15h45 due to a mix up.

Remote, quiet, peaceful, good food close to HLUHLUWE Game park. Lovely staff, super helpful. Enjoyed the bush walk tour. Outdoor bath was nice. The evening BBQ was really nice. Nice breakfast. The pool area was nice The in room massage was great.

Housekeeping: didn't get bubbles for the jacuzzi even though we asked twice and toilet paper wasn't replaced, even though I phoned to ask.

Absolutely brilliant staff, you couldn't ask for more! Accommodating, friendly, no ask was too much. The food was divine and Mlo can organise anything you want to see!

The restaurant on the website shows that it is an actual restaurant with a menu, Where we had an option of ordering food when we wanted to order. We did not carry any extra food as we planned to order from the restaurant but upon arrival we were told that it’s just a buffet and we could join in for supper at 7pm and breakfast at 7:30am. That was a bit disappointing because we were quite hungry upon arrival and was told to drive into town.

We enjoyed the room and the location. The glass walls were amazing at night especially to watch the animals in their natural habitat. We enjoyed being one with nature. Mlu was amazing and super friendly and helpful. He shared so much of valuable information about the place… he is Awesome.

while load shedding, walking back to our rooms in the dark bush with the sandy pathway was adventurous, , that could be improved

We didn't stay long enough.

We loved the rooms - very comfortable and cosy. Loved the lack of signal in the rooms - a chance to disconnect and engage with one another. The staff was kind polite & welcoming, very helpful when we booked activities that weren't on the property.

Not enough variety of drinks. Food was over cooked at times and the same breakfast was given every day.

Rooms are spectacular. Very private and spacious.

Stayed in June 2023

The fact that the jacuzzi was blocked, surely the problem is with the plumbing system, we also reported this issue but it was not sorted, which was quite disappointing because the jacuzzi is one of the best feature in the lodge .

the stuff is very friendly and welcoming, loved the food complement to the chef. The location was amazing loved everything even though our room was very cold the heat on the aircon remote didn't work and we reported it but unfortunately we were not assisted.

When my husband & I arrived at the lodge, we were taken to out room that was unsanitary. We then requested to speak to the manager who assured us a new room. Unfortunately we were not able to get the new room immediately as it needed to be cleaned. After a 4 hour drive to the lodge you can imagine we were not pleased. When supper came around we had only one option and a few sides that we did not prefer. There is no menu. When we woke up the next morning we saw a black snake on our deck which scared us, we called for assistance and waited 20min with no one to our rescue. We decided to take a chance and walk to reception. When we reached reception there was not much variety for breakfast so we decided to skip the meal. We queried about supper but the chef informed us that she did not know what was on the menu and we had to wait for supper. Very very unpleasant experience. I would like a refund for not staying the full stay or indulging in any meals.

Absolutely nothing. Service was poor! From the owner to the staff, the food everything. So much so that we did not stay our full stay, we rebooted at a better more comfortable lodge.
