Phumelela Private Game Farm

Location was amazing and the lodge has all that you need

We enjoyed watching the animals and the people were nice.

The description on Booking.com says that there are hot tubs at the houses plus a swimming pool. There is no swimming pool. It said 3 bedrooms. We took our 4 year old and 7 year old grandsons only to be told that only one bedroom is inside the house. The other two have doors to the outside. Our grandchildren had to sleep on the couches because I could not have them in outside rooms at their ages. We had come from 4 star hotel accommodation which cost us less per night and it included a fantastic breakfast, swimming pool, tennis courts, bowling green, squash court, house riding and mountain hikes. I feel that we paid far too much for this accommodation.

The place was peaceful and we saw lots of animals. It was a great place for a weekend getaway. We did a group trip and it was super great for all couples with separate bedrooms and a convenient kitchen in the middle.

The bathrooms could do with a bit of modernisation. The other unit was done well with modern finishes, perhaps a change to the shower layout and basin.
