Un véritable petit cocon, chaleureux et confortable, parfait pour se ressourcer. Nous avons adoré l’ambiance et le soin apporté aux détails ! Le logement est idéal pour ceux qui recherchent calme et intimité

L’accès en voiture est un peu difficile

"Schöne aber veralte und teure Anlage"

Very Good

7.0

Toll sind die Tiere, welche die Lodge hat. Toll auch das Personal, das immer freundlich war

Die Ausstattung ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Das Bad muss komplett erneuert werden. Die Spülung funktioniert nicht, der Wasserhahn hat keinen Druck. Das schlimmste sind aber die Getränke- und Essenspreise, welche um 150% höher sind als unserem jetzigen 4 Sterne Hotel. Das trübt das Erlebnis leider sehr

"Die beste Entscheidung für meinen Kurzaufenthalt nahe Hoedspruit"

Exceptional

10.0

Das Frühstück ist super gut, von Saft, Tee, Kaffe, über verschiedene Bachwaren, Obstsalat, Eierspeisen, Wurst und Käsewaren. Es ist ein tolles Frühstück sehr liebevoll angerichtet und in einer tollen Umgebung mit dem Blick auf den Blyde River. Einfach magisch. Die Unterkunft ist so liebevoll gestaltet mit sehr vielen Möglichkeiten Ruhe und Entspannung für sich zu finden mitten in der Natur. Ein tolles Gefühl mit Afrikanischer Weite. Das Personal ist außergewöhnlich zuvorkommend. Es ist eine tolle Unterkunft und zu jeder Zeit weiter zu empfehlen.

The place was clean, the staff were friendly and very helpful. The scenery is exceptional and the fact that they wash your car before departure. I am definitely coming back, the pictures don't do justice to the place

The shower is too small, the water was splashing all over the place
