11 Raptors Lodge

The rooms were spacious and luxurious, and the outdoor bathroom was so relaxing. The second bedroom was in a separate apartment but joined by an outdoor area, which meant we had two bathrooms for four of us. It was also within a secure complex so felt very safe.

It was a little confusing how to find our accommodation, but once the office area called the host it was all very straightforward. I think we just had not received the instructions due to a problem with our phone connecting, not the host themselves. Also the toilet has no door so not much privacy from the main bedroom.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful, from arranging transportation from the airport and any early check-in to suggesting places for dinner and breakfast; both of which were less than 5 minutes walk. The accommodation was very comfortable with a lovely secluded outdoor area. We loved the outdoor showers.

The place is clean and well managed. Smaller kitchen than expected but well equipped.

Second bedroom is not connected to the rest of the property. The property sliding door leading outside does not lock, there’s a hook that can only be hooked when inside main property so there’s limitations of access to those staying in outside room. Both showers at the property are outdoor showers, great in warm weather, unfortunately we visited during a cold front. We weren’t able to use them as we pleased.

Check-in & out was easy, there is an amazing restaurant near the property and the host went over and above to make the property comfortable.

The water isn’t hot.

Such a lovely house with everything I needed. Kitchen fully equipped and beautiful setting. I travel a lot for work and it is so important for me to feel comfortable and safe. They host was so lovely she even helped me ID a bird.

Braai area

DSTV... no access to the sport channel to watch rugby

The facilitiy had everything required for self catering stay, the bush factor and quitness of the area
