"It was somewhat good but a few improvements can make a huge difference"

7.0

It’s quiet and animals passby. The staff was warm and welcoming. At all times, they made our stay very special and pleasant. Our car was safely parked.

The pool had leaves. No night gowns and slippers were provided to guests. No powder milk. There one place to charge phone and use an iron.

"Wir haben uns leider überhaupt nicht wohl gefühlt."

4.0

Es war sehr sauber. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld sowie der Empfang in der Lodge lief reibungslos. Die Anfahrt ist echt gut, Straßen sind in gutem Zustand. Ein Supermarkt sowie mehrere gute Restaurants sind direkt in der Nähe und in der direkten Umgebung der Lodge gibt es viele wilde Tiere, sodass einem eigentlich täglich Giraffen über den Weg laufen.

Leider können wir im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen Bewertungen das Personal überhaupt nicht loben. Im Vorfeld sowie bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir freundlich in Empfang genommen. Jedoch hatten wir ab Tag zwei, nachdem wir wenig zu Frühstücken bestellt hatten und keinen Zimmerservice wollten, das Gefühl, unten durch zu sein. Wir sind es einfach nicht gewohnt, viel zu essen und brauchen auch nicht jeden Tag frische Handtücher. Trinkgeld hätten wir am Ende natürlich trotzdem gegeben. Nachdem wir an diesem Tag noch gesagt haben, dass wir zum Dinner nicht da sein werden, haben wir uns überhaupt nicht mehr willkommen gefühlt, es wurde nur ganz kalt mit uns gesprochen und wir wurden auch die folgenden Tage nicht mehr gefragt, ob wir Dinner möchten. Nach drei Tagen haben wir dann nach einem Spaziergang eine Mitarbeiterin dabei erwischt, wie sie gerade in unserem Zimmer war, obwohl wir beim Frühstück wieder klar gesagt haben, dass wir keinen Zimmerservice benötigen. Leider ein absolutes No-Go.

"Wonderful place to stay."

9.0

It’s in an wildlife reserve with lots of antelope, warthog, zebras and giraffes. You can drive and even walk around the reserve and see the animals. The antelope even come into the back garden as there are no fences around the buildings in the reserve. The property backs onto the greater Kroger National Park.

Starting to need some maintenance
