Guest Reviews

Ginette (8/5): - Site exceptionnel. Entretien équipement électrique défaillant. Architecture intéressante.
Verified traveler (4/5): Quelle déception - Un hotel qui ne vaut pas le tarif que nous avons paye. Pas de pression dans la douche, peu d eau chaude, chambres tres peu éclairées et pour couronner le tout de nombreuses chenilles dans la salle de bain, dans la chambre et sur le lit également.
Fanie (10/5): Jewel in the bush - Comfortable, well equiped, need and clean chalets. Good food and friendly and helpful staff.
sebastiaan (10/5): Pleasant visit - Brilliant setting. Rooms comfortable. Meals god, though limited in options and repeats gets boring. One option only, could be improved. Clean and great
Zenzo (10/5): - It was a great stay the staff were very friendly professional . The food and service was excellent
Ravella (10/5): Gem in the bush - Our stay was brilliant! This truely is a little gem that should be visited over and over. Game drives amazing, service awesome, facilities fantastic We will definitely return
Verified traveler (10/5): - It was amazing. Really loved it and can’t wait to go back!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Really super helpful staff. Special shout out to Wendy and also our guide GooGoo. Very comfortable surroundings. Overall really nice place to stay.
Paul (10/5): A marvellous break - Everything about the week-end was picture perfect for us to slow-down and relax after a busy week. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, the rangers knowledgeable and the food great. The room was very comfortable and clean. Definitely worth a second visit and highly recommended.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Pleasant atmosphere where you forget the world around you. Staff are very friendly and they take interest in you and always available to help in any way. The fact that there is no WIFI is forgotten within hours. Of you are looking for peaceful, service and experience for a good price, this is the place to be.
Verified traveler (8/5): - This is a beautiful property but a little more effort is needed for upkeep. For example floors should be swept regularly and sofas dusted to remove animal drippings, bugs, cobwebs etc. Found a couple lizards in the bed netting and one crawling on the pillow! Room rafters, windows etc need dusting and cobwebs removed. Before dusk staff should check rooms are bug free and put down bednets. Food is great - fresh and tasty - but cooking with a little less grease/oil/butter would be perfect! Game drives are awesome!
Verified traveler (8/5): - Simply wonderful! Great location near to Tembe Elephant Park. Very tranquil and serene. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Well appointed and sealed so even though you are immersed in the African bush, you do not have to worry about mosquitos or bugs in the room. Lovely dining and lounge areas.
