Guest Reviews
- Katarina (7/5): -
- Rhomance (10/5): -
- Rudie (10/5): Top locatie ,voor mensen die rust en natuur zoeken , op het terrein zelf veel vogelsoorten gezien. - Top ontbijt, hele fijne mensen om je heen van zowel de bewaking, personeel restaurant als de manager. Iedereen was erg behulpzaam en GASTVRIJ . NIETS
- Mik (7/5): ikke så roligt og afslappende som forventet, Der blev spillet musik hele dagen,,,,, træls - personalet var utroligt langsomme værelset beliggenhed værelse 8
- Pearse (9/5): Very isolated location, we saw elephant from the deck. - Beautiful location! Some really nice interior design similar to that of a luxury lodge! Viewing decks were great! The food was slightly hit and options for half board were very limited, sometimes service could be abit slow and often misunderstandings. The game drives offered by the hotel on the more expensive side, we paid €650 for a 1 day Kruger safari for family of 5 not including any food.
- Elke (9/5): -
- Rick (9/5): - FRIENDLY STAFF AND COMFY FACILITIES
- Dany (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience – truly a hidden gem in South Africa - My stay at Sunbird Oasis Lodge was simply exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by a team of incredibly kind, smiling, and attentive people. Whether at reception, the restaurant, or anywhere around the lodge, every single staff member was approachable and genuinely willing to help at any time. The level of service here is something truly special. A very special mention goes to the owner, Tommy. What makes this place unique is how personally involved he is. He takes the time to greet every guest, have real conversations, and make sure everyone is enjoying their stay and not missing anything. I had the pleasure of meeting him, and he is an incredibly warm and genuine person who clearly puts his heart into this lodge. The location itself feels like a small paradise. Surrounded entirely by nature, with nothing but trees and wildlife in every direction, it offers a rare sense of peace and connection with the wild. From the lodge’s viewpoints, we were lucky enough to see elephants twice, and knowing that any animal can appear at any moment makes the experience even more magical. What impressed me even more is the incredible value for money. I was initially offered other lodges at around €990 per person per night. Instead, I chose Sunbird Oasis Lodge—three nights for around €360, plus two safaris for about €300 total including the return transfer to the airport. And honestly, the experience here was even better than some five-star luxury lodges. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the food is freshly prepared and delicious, and everything is done with care and attention to detail. The safaris were another highlight. On the first day, we had an amazing guide who shared deep knowledge about wildlife and nature—we saw around 14 animals. Nothing , i'm just adding the rest of my positive review here as i reached the maximum in the other category. The next day, I had the privilege of going on a safari with Tommy himself to a private reserve, where I was able to see the remaining animals of the Big Five. It was an unforgettable experience. One moment that truly stood out for me: I accidentally left my wallet in the room during a safari. When I returned, everything was exactly as I left it—around $4,000 in cash and all my cards untouched. This level of honesty and trust is priceless and very rare nowadays. It speaks volumes about the integrity of the people here. Sunbird Oasis Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it feels like a home away from home. The warmth of the people, the attention to small details, and the overall atmosphere make it an unforgettable experience. A big thank you to the entire team, and especially to Tommy, for going above and beyond to make my stay so memorable. I will definitely be coming back.
- Ines (9/5): - Die Lodge hat eine wunderschöne Lage, eine tollen Garten und liebevolle, freundliche Mitarbeiter. Die Zimmer sind geschmackvoll im afrikanischen Stil eingerichtet. Es gibt 4 schöne Aussichtsdecks und einen Pool der zur Abkühlung einlädt. Jeder ist hier herzlich willkommen und wird mit vielen guten Tipps für Unternehmungen versorgt. Die Gamedrives im Krüger Park und auch in den benachbarten privaten Gamereverves sind toll. Am
- Daniel (10/5): -
- Herman (9/5): Oase van rust, mooie uitvalsbasis voor goed georganiseerde gamedrives - Ligging van het complex, daadwerkelijk oase van rust, uitkijktorens zijn prachtig met goede zitplekken. Mooi restaurant met gevarieerde kaart en goede keuken! Zwembad met ligbedden waren fijn. Leuke huizen waar je het park in stapt waar unieke dieren vrij rondlopen. Door zowel personeel als de eigenaar word je super goed geadviseerd over activiteiten! Fijn dat ze je hiermee helpen, dat wordt als je wilt uit handen genomen. Veilige en vriendelijke chauffeurs.
- Lara (10/5): Wunderschöne Auszeit in einer noch schöneren Unterkunft. - Die Lage war für uns ein absolutes Highlight: Die Unterkunft grenzt mit 3 Seiten an den Krügerpark. Direkt am Zaun hatten wir mehrere Tiersichtungen, auf die uns das Personal vor Ort aufmerksam gemacht hat. Auf dem Gelände leben auch mehrere Tiere (Hasen, Kudus, Vogelstrauße), die immer wieder für schöne Begegnungen gesorgt haben. Zudem gibt es Aussichtspunkte, mit schönem Blick über den Park. Die Anlage ist weitläufig und verfügt über einen schönen Pool. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit ausreichend Platz, was zudem sehr schön eingerichtet war. Apropos Einrichtung: Man erkennt an vielen Ecken die persönliche Handschrift des Inhabers, der hier mit viel Liebe zum Detail ausgesucht hat. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den Inhaber Tommy, der uns viele tolle Tipps zu Safarimöglichkeiten (Self-Drive vs. organisiert) gegeben hat. Für uns hat er zudem eine Safari in einem privaten Reservat organisiert, die keine Wünsche offen gelassen hat. Das Restaurant bietet ein sehr faires Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, wir haben jeden Abend dort gegessen und das Essen hatte immer sehr gute Qualität. Zum Frühstück gab es eine reichliche Auswahl und zudem die Möglichkeit sich Eierspeisen zuzubereiten zu lassen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. Hier fällt uns nichts ein.
- John (10/5): Exceptional stay, honestly one of the best stays I' - Absolutely exceptional, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left - the team did everything to make us feel welcome on their lovely property. Cant really fault anything from the room, the cleanliness of the property and facilities, the food was outstanding in the restaurant. The team took a special effort to take us down the road to see a pride of lions on an adjacent property, and we took a lovely game walk one morning. Did I mention the staff :0) - the team at Sunbirds are what makes this stay super special, from the owner to the security, from the restaurant staff to the cleaners, I honestly haven't felt hospitality like this in a long long time Couple of constructive feedback thoughts........... Breakfast seemed to arrive to the buffet over the course of an hour, not a major issue but was slightly inconvenient on the last day when we needed to leave dead on 8am. On the day we arrived to breakfast 9am breakfast was cold - I guess you need to time it right - but that's being super picky, the choice was fantastic and the food was tasty. Seems like a missed opportunity not to have a sofa bed on the living area in the premium room - we'd have been perfectly happy to have one room for 2 adults/1 kid rather than 2. Also, need blinds or curtains for the upstairs windows considering the thunder storms during the winter lit up the bedroom. Nothing
- Céline (10/5): Parfait ! - Tout était parfait, l'accueil, le logement, les repas, l'environnement, la gentillesse du personnel ! Très belle piscine qui permet de se détendre après une journée Safari. Nous avons vu un éléphant depuis l'hôtel ! Nous reviendrons.
- Uwe (10/5): Das war sicherlich nicht mein letzter Besuch dort! - Hervorragende Anlage mit vollkommenem Afrikafeeling. Einzig die Anfahrt trübt das Gesamtbild, da die Zufahrtstraße nicht für alle Fahrzeuge geeignet scheint. Die 6 km Sand- und Buckelpiste!
- Torsten (10/5): Fazit: Ein Ort, an den man jederzeit gerne zurückkehrt – klare 10 von 10 Sternen! 🌿🦒🌅 - Die Sunbirds Oasis Lodge ist ein absoluter Geheimtipp für einen erschwinglichen, aber dennoch außergewöhnlich schönen Aufenthalt im Busch. Umgeben von hochklassigen 5-Sterne-Lodges liegt Sunbirds direkt am Krüger-Nationalpark grenzt. Die Aussicht von den Wildbeobachtungsplattformen ist fantastisch – Natur pur, Ruhe und echte Safari-Atmosphäre inklusive. Die Lodge eignet sich perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen des Krüger-Nationalparks (das Orpen Gate ist in ca. 30 Minuten erreichbar). Gleichzeitig lädt sie dazu ein, einfach mal nichts zu tun – genau das haben wir auch mal genossen. Der großzügige Swimmingpool mit ausreichend Liegen ist ein Highlight und ein Sundowner auf einem der Decks gehört definitiv zum Pflichtprogramm. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und lecker. Tommy und das gesamte Team sind jederzeit hilfsbereit, herzlich und präsent, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Game Drives in den Park können direkt gebucht werden. Auch wenn der Service im Restaurant gelegentlich etwas Zeit braucht, wird dies durch Freundlichkeit, Engagement und Atmosphäre mehr als ausgeglichen. Die Zimmer sind großzügig, sauber und sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet. Es war alles perfekt. Für uns gab es rein gar nichts auszusetzen.
- HELOISE (9/5): - La gentillesse du personnel et du patron La deco et le design de tres bon gout La chef et la nourriture delicieuse, variee et genereuse, le service avec le sourire Les decks et les animaux alentours (on a vu des lions !!!) Tout le monde etait tres attentif à notre bien-être Nous y retournerons avec plaisir Les inondations ont demandé beaucoup de reparations qui nous ont empechees d'etre au calme, mais ce nest pas vraiment lié à l'établissement
- Amelie (10/5): - Unsere Zeit in der Lodge nahe Hoedspruit war einfach magisch. Schon vor der Anreise hat uns der deutsche Gastgeber Tommy mit seiner herzlichen und hilfsbereiten Art beeindruckt – jede Frage zu Safaris, Buchungen und Ausflügen wurde mit Geduld und Expertise beantwortet. Die Unterkünfte sind gemütlich, makellos sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet – perfekt zum Entspannen nach einem erlebnisreichen Tag. Das Restaurant ist ein echtes Highlight: exzellente Küche mit lokalen Spezialitäten, serviert in entspannter Atmosphäre. Besonders begeistert hat uns der Außenbereich: ein gepflegter Garten mit frei laufenden Tieren, ein erfrischender Pool, eine einladende Bar und mehrere Aussichtsplattformen, von denen aus wir Giraffen und sogar Elefanten beobachten konnten. Und nachts – ein Gänsehautmoment – hört man in der Ferne die Löwen brüllen. Ein echtes Afrika-Erlebnis! Diese Lodge ist ein Ort, an dem man die Seele baumeln lassen und gleichzeitig die Wildnis hautnah erleben kann. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die Natur, Komfort und Gastfreundschaft schätzen.
- Maxime (7/5): Beau lodge, mais séjour décevant - À l'entrée du park Kruger Lodge très bien décoré avec de belles pièces d'art Chambres confortables Belle nature dans le site et belle piscine Accueil téléphonique/guidage par un membre masculin du personnel très aidant. L'accueil, principalement : accueil fermé à notre arrivée à 18h30, hôtesse d'accueil très peu sympathique, manque de chaleur humaine. Lodge froid, impersonnel. Il manquait une âme et une énergie. Trop cher pour la prestation offerte. Route d'accès (3kms) très compliquée en saison des pluies / en mauvais état
- Boipelo (8/5): -
- ko&ko (10/5): FANTASTISCH MET HOOFDLETTERS!! - Soms kom je een hotel/lodge tegen waar je geen afscheid van kunt nemen; Sunbirds Oasis Lodge is er zo één!!! Soort van paradijs op aarde!! Werkelijk alles is fantastisch. Geweldige locatie, de sfeervolle kamers, zeer vriendelijk personeel, meer dan mooie tuin, heerlijk zwembad, de 3 geweldige uitkijkpunten, heerlijke sauna en fantastisch restaurant; Subliem!!! Zeer goed onderhouden, meer dan netjes en zeer gastvrij! Deze lodge, op 30 km afstand van het Krugerpark scoort een 11... Niets behalve dat we na 4 nachten weer door moesten. Maar we komen zeker terug!!
- Julie (9/5): Chambre très bien conçue, hôtel très cosy, magnifique endroit - Le design, l’ambiance, la décoration… Il est un peu loin de la Orpen Gate, environ 40min de route, c’est le seul inconvénient à notre séjour.
- Lili (8/5): - Superbe lieu Belle piscine Salle de sport super sympa Check out à 10h, trop tôt , ne laisse pas le temps de profiter de la piscine
- tshwarelo (9/5): -
- Luke (10/5): Best Safari by far! - We had the most wonderful stay only 30 mins from the gate to Kruger national park and surrounded by private reserves. We absolutely loved everything about this place. The lodge is tastefully decorated and the landscape is beautifully maintained. The staff were amazing, from the gatekeeper to the reception and restaurant teams, always eager to help and to make our stay as comfortable as possible. It was also a pleasure to meet the owner, Tommy, who was incredibly kind and helpful. He assisted us with planning private game drives and gave us great tips for our self-drive safari adventures. The breakfast box was extremely generous, very well packed and perfectly organised. It didn’t only include breakfast, but also more than enough food to enjoy a picnic lunch in Kruger. Overall, our stay exceeded all expectations, and we can only say thank you to everyone at Sunbird Oasis Lodge.
- Nico (9/5): One of a kind - Super gastvrij
- Huibert (10/5): -
- Helena (9/5): Goed - De uitkijk torens prachtig om al de wilde dieren te zien. Het zwembad erg fijn. De hele entourage was prachtig. Horren ipv klamboe,s een goede keuze ! De kamer rook wat muf, later beter na schoonmaak! Geen reactie op onze boeking later wel. Welkom geheten door Hapiness en een rondleiding gehad. De kamers lagen te dichtbij bij het zwembad. Geen zitje buiten. Er waren genoeg lodges met meer privacy. Dat zou onze keuze zijn geweest. Misschien een volgende x als we weer Zuid-Afrika bezoeken
- Sonja (10/5): Absolutes Highlight unserer Reise, TOP Unterkunft,und uneingeschränkt weiterzuempfehlen!! - Rundum perfekt. Eine tolle Anlage auf einem parkähnlichen Grundstück, der Zaun grenzt direkt an den Kruger Park bzw. Thornybush und wir hatten dort zwei Nashörner und eine Büffelherde direkt am Zaun gesehen. 3 Aussichtsplattformen mit Weitblick, ein tolles und geschmackvolles Zimmer, gute Essen und Gastgeber, die alles geben. Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefühlt. Absolut besonders und weiterzuempfehlen. Kommen gerne auch für längere Zeit noch einmal wieder Da gab es einfach nichts, was uns nicht gefallen hat
- Ralf (10/5): Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt, und können die Anlage uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! - Eine schöne Unterkunft in einer hervorragend gestalten und renovierten Anlage. Das gebuchte Deluxe Zimmer befand sich im besten und sauberen Zustand. Das Personal war sehr aufmerksam und hat alles getan, um unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Tommy ist ein freundlicher und sympathischer deutscher Besitzer! Er konnte uns Tipps für Ausflüge geben, und hat diese auch gleich für uns organisiert. Von den drei Aufsichtsplattformen die sich Innerhalb der Anlage befinden, konnten wir direkt Tiere beobachten. -
- Andreas (10/5): Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt - Die ganze Anlage ist traumhaft, super gepflegt und durch mehrere Aussichtsplattformen ein optimaler Ort für Tierbesichtigungen. Die von Tommy empfohlenen und organisierten Game Drives waren alle super. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen waren ebenfalls sehr schmackhaft und durch super freundliches Personal serviert. Es war alles perfekt. Für uns gab es rein gar nichts auszusetzen.
- Javier de Ancos Martin (9/5): PERFECTO PARA RELAX AL LADO DE ORPEN GATE -
- Jan (9/5): - Tolle Austattung, alles was man braucht und die Hütten sind sehr gemütlich.
- _Anny_K (10/5): Einfach WOW - Wunderschöne Anlage. Alles ist in einem TOP Zustand. Zimmer frisch renoviert und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Deutscher Besitzer, der sich sehr um seine Gäste kümmert. Essen im Restaurant war sehr lecker, es gibt ein tolles Angebot an verschiedenen Speisen. Gesamtes Personal super zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wer entspannen und gleichzeitig den Kruger Park besuchen möchte, ist hier richtig. Entfernung zum Orpen Gate ca. 30 Minuten.
- Sam (10/5): -
- Tanja (9/5): - Die Unterkunft war mit ganz viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Man grenzt direkt an den Krüger Nationalpark an und kann von dem Hotel aus Tiere sehen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen!
- Lutendo (7/5): Place very lovely and refreshing. - Refreshing, full of greens, jacuzzi experience very nice, friendly stuff. The gravel drive road from gate to property needs a little bit of refinement.
- Fernanda (10/5): - Everything! Very nice place, friendly staff/owner, good food, interesting game reserves. Definetely recommend :)
- Chloé (9/5): Top! - Very beautiful, everyone was very nice and helpful. Organized a safari for me even tho I was alone.
- Marc (10/5): Es waren wunderbare 4 Nächte. - Die Wunderbare Oase am Rande des Krüger Nationalparkes. Super Safari Ausfahrt in den Krüger Nationalpark.
- Willemijn (10/5): Helemaal perfect - Geweldige plek, niets ontbrak. Sfeervol, vriendelijke eigenaar en personeel, goed eten, mooie uitkijkpunten langs de kruger hekken, tamme struisvogels op het terrein. We vroegen ons af hoe de prijs zo laag kan zijn, zeker vergeleken met omliggende loges. Enorme aanrader! Niets
- Paul (10/5): - Spacious well equipped rooms, really well thought out and done with clean modern lines while still keeping that relaxed feeling of being in the bush. There are all sorts of facilities... sauna, steam room, hot tub, open air gym where you might see elephant while you working out. I was a half board rate and the menus options were good and the food excellent quality and generous portions. The staff are really good at their job, friendly and accomodating. Well done That i could not stay longer
- Marc (9/5): An excellent stay at the lodge with formidable staff and near by the Orpen Gate - Great room, gardens, location.
- Stephanie (8/5): -
- Fabrice (10/5): Lodge with a wunderful garden - Its the perfect place to make a short break if you are doing safari in Kruger. It has e restaurant with friendly staff and a very good kitchen. The rooms are quite big and the garden around the pool area is just stunning. There is also a three stories high lookout- perfect to enjoy your sundowner. I can really recommend this place
- Tom (10/5): - Prachtige tuin. Bijzonder goed restaurant. Mogelijkheid voor safari's in private wildgebieden met vervoer vanuit de lodge. Bereikbaarheid slecht aangegeven. Er zijn twee toegangs gates. De goede wordt gevolgd door een 6 km gravelroad. De ander door een slechte gravelroad van 20 km zonder bewegwijzering en zonder internet bereik. De site geeft niet aan welke gate genomen moet worden.
- Derek (10/5): - Exceeded our expectations. The on-site restaurant and facilities are outstanding. Tommy and his team provide a great service. We will definitely be back. Derek and Julie
- Lamiae (10/5): Établissement de qualité et dépaysement assuré 😍 - Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans cet établissement un vrai coup de cœur Merci pour votre accueil et le soin apporté à vos services
- Margriet (9/5): Klein paradijsje - Vooraf goed contact en er kon een bed bijgeplaatst worden in de familiekamer. Het was er rustig en zeer goed onderhouden. Hele fijne mensen 🙏. Goed eten.
- Rafaël (10/5): -
- Jens (10/5): Family stay with day trip to Krüger Nationalpark via Orpen gate. - This beautiful lodge with its wonderful garden is the best place we have stayed at in South Afrika so far. The food offered in the arty restaurant is amazing. Fabulous breakfast. Tommy is a great host always making sure that his guests have everything they need. I highly recommend staying at Sunbirds Oasis Lodge.
- Bazin (9/5): - L'hôtel est bien en général.
- Bazin (10/5): - L'hôtel était mieux que sur les photos, jardin magnifique avec les perit coin détente.. Les repas de qualité Rien tout était parfait
- David (10/5): - Superbe hôtel très beau jardin. Des safari a proximité. Je recommande cet hôtel. Super petit déjeuner et dîner
- Xolani (9/5): Refreshing. - It is quiet and away from noise. It’s theme value of africanicity. The road to reach the property is very bad.
- Tim (10/5): Super friendly staff, modern and clean rooms, great good - would definitely recommend and come again - Super friendly staff, modern and clean rooms, great good - would definitely recommend and come again
- Rj (7/5): Good -
- Ibolja (10/5): In my heart for ever - When you say oasis, your mind will blend you in a picture about water and lush vegetation. That place can proudly carry that name. Once you are in the pool you are not willing to come out. The owner is really caring about every corner of the property. Exquisite sitting decks for animal viewing, gorgeous outdoor gym,cosy saunas, hot tub, outside bar. Overwhelming aesthetic in the restaurant, quality food, an ambiance that you feel welcomed because they take a time to decorate. I adored the lights in the night, the trees are old and majestic.One of the most beautiful garden what I visited. Couldn't stop watching the ostriches who waited in front of our bedroom in the morning and later pulled down the cushions from the loungers as they were cleaning as all others in the morning 🤣It was sad to be there just for one night but that place will stay in my ❤️ forever
- Zante (8/5): Very good -
- Chad (9/5): Loved it and would like to comeback - Secluded, renovated and super quiet, perfect to relax. Nice pool, cool old school outdoor gym and viewing areas where we saw an elephant walk by right in front of us. Also close enough to Kruger park and blyde canyon Nothing
- Mariette (7/5): Good -
- Koketso (10/5): Superb - Everything The bed
- J (8/5): Very good - The breakfast was superb and the staff was friendly. The breakfast was only ready at 7:30 although the stated time is 7:00.
- Thiambi (7/5): Good -
- Shimami (8/5): Very good -
- Mashaba (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place to visit with a Family! They only have two braai areas. We had to wait for hours to braai our meat
- Elmarie (7/5): Beautiful surroundings, excellent restaurant, very friendly staff - Loved this establishment. Neat grounds - with lots of facilities. Very friendly staff. Restaurant serves excellent food. Very good breakfast. Loved the outside patio and outside gym where you can watch animals Road to reach the property quite bumpy. The property is excellent but the rooms bit of a disappointment. We booked 3 rooms for our group of 6. The picture of rooms on Booking.com seems to be the nice rooms. On arrival we were shown our rooms - 2 basic rooms (no aircon - it is not possible in that heat to stay without aircon), children had nice triple room as we booked for them. The double bed in triple room - sheet had horrible big stain on but very nicely decorated and luxury room. We then upgraded to 2 other rooms instead of basic rooms. Had aircon but our shower not clean.
- Khomotso (5/5): Pretty with a pretty bad Service - The pictures don’t do justice to the lodge . Very lush bushes and overall beautiful place . The food nice and the amenities were awesome . Really beautiful place An international group of guests arrived on the following day of our stay and lord behold everybody left us in the dust . Our room was neglected with no room service . We had to call reception to complain and even so , the cleaning staff would just make the bed and not sweep or mop the floors .Breakfast was a buffet on the 1st day but after the internationals arrived we got plated options with 30% of the menu “unavailable”. Everybody gave the internationals attention with some staff heard saying “ These ones (internationals) tip the most insinuating we were never going to tip that much . My overall experience was sad as I looked forward to this stay as my husband and I had just got married and looked for a relaxing bonding time . I don’t think I’ll be returning

- Dineo (10/5): Value for money, what a hidden gem! - The place is amazing, the Front Office Manager Johane and Happiness were very friendly and helpfull, and there was another gentleman named Freedom, He was so helpfull and has the most exceptional customer service, He was working at the Restaurant during dinner time on the 31st of December, what an amazing guy! He made sure our stay was so awasome and memorable. We did not enjoy Breakfast, Please add more varieties instead of just servng Bacon and Eggs. The Staff at Breaking fast were not so friendly, they looked so tired and seems annoyedc each time we ask for something, Please buy Uniforms for your Staff so the Guests can easily identify them, it was a bit uncomfortable dealing with Staff dresses in street casual clothers. The lady at the Restaurant was wearing a very SHORT pants which was so cringe to watch especially around guest travelling with Families ( Husbands & Wives).

- Fahraaz (9/5): Superb - Everything was perfect. The staff's friendliness and hospitality was something else. It has to received top marks. From Mr Johane to Happiness and the rest of the team, they made this two nights worth while. Highly recommended.

- Joeri (9/5): Sunbirds Oasis Lodge provided an exceptional family getaway with outstanding service, comfortable accommodations, and me - Our stay at Sunbirds Oasis Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. The lodge provided a perfect blend of high-quality service, comfortable accommodations, and a laid-back atmosphere that made our family getaway truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, the level of service stood out as a highlight. The staff were not only professional but also genuinely warm and welcoming, making us feel at home instantly. The accommodations were pristine, offering a safe and comfortable environment that allowed us to fully unwind. One of the most memorable aspects of our stay was the bushwalk led by Tommy and Decide. Their knowledge and enthusiasm brought the experience to life, and it was a unique way to connect with the beautiful surroundings. The lodge’s restaurant and bar were also a standout. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Whether we were enjoying a quiet drink or a full meal, the experience was consistently top-notch. In short, Sunbirds Oasis Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious retreat. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
- Amukelani (6/5): I think it will be better if they can add a TV and Glasses and water bottles water and brushing our teeth - Location
- Lebogang (7/5): Great location, facilities for a relaxing weekend, just needs improvements - The hot tub was amazing, enjoyed the gym facilities and the outside shower by the spa area The shower in the room was not clean, the bed makes squeaky noises and we could hear the neighbour snoring which kept us up. The breakfast was good outside of the oily burnt omelet

- Mashile (6/5): We had a wonderful stay with caring and friendly staff. - There is a variety of food to choose Chairs suitable for kids when we are having our meals
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Beautifully green and safe Oasis in the middle of a National Park with wild Animals and the opportunity to observe them (protected by high wire fences around the Lodge) from platforms equipped for this purpose. We were lucky and saw a Buffalo, Hyena and few Giraffs. The presence of Birds, freely roaming Rabbits, friendly Ostriches within the Lodge's property pleasantly surprised us and our child. Located at a short distance Kruger Park and Blyde Canon are impressively rich of Nature! The sincere friendliness and compassion of the Lodge's team deserves highest praise only. This applies and to the team at the reception (where we got perfect advices & complete support for our activities) and in the bar-restaurant (with delicious Breakfast Buffet and low menu prices) and to the team that keeps the lounge and rooms nicely clean. We had a wonderful week and accumulated a lot of cool impressions and positive energy for a long time! South Africa is full of positive surprises! Thank You all!
