"Exceptional"

10.0

Beautiful! Absolute treat staying here for three nights. Craig is a brilliant host, super helpful and great to chat to when you come back from a day out at nearby Kruger or the Panoramic Route. Peaceful location amongst the mountains, with a waterfall, giraffes and spacious accomodation.

Wish I stayed longer. Great place to unplug from the world.

"Kudu Cottage"

6.0

Peaceful and scenic, abundant birdlife. Lovely hiking trials. The boma and outside shower are highlights.

Attention to detail will transform the accommodation from mediocre to luxury. Our cottage could do with new bedding and curtains, a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable outside seating.

Photos don't do Caracal Lodge justice. The location, the chalet, everything was just incredible.

Nothing that we didn't like.

"Absolutely incredible pet friendly accommodation!! We loved this place and will be back!"

10.0

This is really a little piece of paradise; with that it is also pet friendly, and our 2 Labradors had an amazing time too. The chalets are beautiful with everything you need and more and fenced off for the dogs. The dogs loved the swimming pool after doing incredible hikes on the farm. This place is quite and relaxing and we had an absolutely amazing time.

Everything was amazing.
