"Tres bon rapport qualité prix"

8.0

Cadre très agréable la rondavelle dans laquelle nous logions était très bien décorée,très confortable et à proximité de la rivière. De l'eau, du café et du thé était un libre disposition dans la chambre. De piscine qui était très agréable même si elles étaient un peu fraîches vu la saison. Possibilité de dîner sur place pour éviter de se déplacer. (On vous envoie un email pour vous solliciter à l'avance) Bon petit-déjeuner. Personnel très agréable.. on a adoré ce séjour

Uniquement le chemin de terre pour se rendre au lodge mais rien d'insurmontable.

"Goed maar overpriced"

7.0

Een tropisch park, afgelegen, rustig, tropische omgeving. Bij aankomst heel leuk zebra’s en giraffen in de ‘voortuin’ gespot

Prijs voor accommodatie te hoog in vergelijking in met andere bijzondere huisjes in de regio. Ook het laten doen van een zakje was kost € 30, (600 rand)

L’accueil, la disponibilité et la gentillesse du personnel, la qualité du petit déjeuner et le repas, le site avec la proximité des animaux : girafes, zèbres, hippopotames… Une belle végétation dans un lieu reposant

"Wonderful."

9.0

The property has everything. It’s a hidden gem, hence it is down a long dirt road….. which is still better than most English tarmac roads. You can find ostriches walking close by and if you venture out a little further on foot into the lodges own reserve; you can find zebras and giraffes. The actual lodge accommodation is second to none. As are the gardens, pools and relaxation areas. (Including restaurant and bar). It’s all set on the banks of the Blythe River. Beautiful. Its staff are friendly and helpful.

Nothing. If there’s anything not to your liking, just say and they will change it so that it is to your liking.
