If you are considering booking at ANEW Hotel Hluhluwe, please exercise caution. We recently stayed there from 01–03 May 2026 as a group, occupying a lodge designed for five couples. While there were a number of smaller concerns during our stay, we chose not to make an issue of them at the time. However, on the morning of our departure, one of our vehicles was broken into on the property. This is not just disappointing—it is a serious security breach. What is even more concerning is how the situation was handled. On-site representatives, including maintenance and security, gave repeated assurances that camera footage would be made available. Only a day later did we receive communication from management stating that the cameras were not operational. This directly contradicts what we were told during our stay, where strong emphasis was placed on security measures, surveillance, and overall guest safety. As guests, we relied on these assurances. Members of our group, including our spouses, felt comfortable walking around the premises at night under the belief that appropriate security systems were in place. There is a clear gap between what is presented to guests and what is actually in operation. Safety should never be overstated or misrepresented—especially in remote locations where guests are fully dependent on the establishment. Based on our experience, we have lost confidence in the security and transparency of this property. We strongly encourage anyone considering booking to ask detailed questions about security measures and ensure they are satisfied before confirming their stay. Safety cannot be compromised.
