We had a great stay. The staff were very friendly and helped us organise our travel to our next destination. The food was delicious and our rooms were very comfortable. We had a very peaceful stay and the views were stunning. Would recommend to everyone!

"The food menu needs to be expanded."

8.0

The ambiance is great, enjoyed the fresh air and the birds. The staff was very helpful and kind.

The buildings and shades are a bit rundown, though inside the rooms was clean and well kept.

"Kleines Vogelparadies und tolle interessante Gespräche mit dem Besitzer und Erholung pur"

8.0

Abends kamen die Pelikane zum Übernachten direkt auf den Baum vor dem Zimmer und morgens gingen sie wieder. Der Mountainlissard lebt auf der kleinen Insel und hat mich einige Male überrascht… die Insel ist voller Vögel.. ich war nur mit Hut unterwegs…

Wenn kein Wind geht, dann wird man von Unmengen Tagesmücken umschwirrt… zum Glück stechen sie nicht… aber sie sind dann überall.

The staff at Samuka are very good and caring. They made our stay very enjoyable. The food was also very good and prepared to our request.

The lake flies are a nuisance.
