"Lovely old-fashioned game lodge feeling for a reasonable cost."

Exceptional

9.0

1. Lovely old-fashioned lodge, with the feeling of being on safari. 2. Sufficiently large garden and bush for strolls, birdwatching, enjoying the natural surroundings. 3. Comfortable, well-equipped accommodation (not in main lodge) away from noise. 4. Good breakfast and supper.

It was a pity that the tar road nearby was quite close, giving a feeling of: not in the bush after all. It was not noisy or disturbing at night.
