- Helené (6/5): - Beautiful, safe. There is a clubhouse on the premises which was right by our room, ruined the implied atmosphere of our stay.

Super Frühstück auf der Terrasse vor unserem Zimmer serviert.
Die beiden Perlen / Engel des Hauses sind Emma und Letwin.
Immer freundlich und Hilfsbereit. An der Zufahrt von der Straße ist nicht ersichtlich das hier die Matusadona Loge ist.
Somit sind wir wie viele andere beim Nachbarn gelandet, der wußte gleich Bescheid und hat uns freundlich die richtige Einfahrt gezeigt.

- Sheena (9/5): Really loved the quietness of the place and the views the flexibility of check in and out times - A very well appointed and run guest house, the only issue I had was then at staying in the Eland room the water pump at outside the back of the room kept coming on every 10 minutes or so to top up the water tank and it kept me awake. Not sure if there is a leak somewhere but i did mention it to Avril on departure. Either there is a leak or there is no one way value on the water going into the tank and its feeding back and causing the pump to keep coming on every 10 minutes. It would also have been nice to be told there was a birthday party at the pub area on booking and asked if i didnt want to move rooms as the Eland room backs onto this area. Luckily it was all over by 0.30pm but it would have been great to know before hand and given the opion to move rooms.
- Lizelle (9/5): lovely place! - The spacious room, cupboards and bathrooms were very spacious and modern. Staff willingness to help. although we had breakfast once, the breakfast was also value for money.
- Mark (10/5): Amazing views and comfort, great breakfast -
- Noxy (8/5): A truly warm and welcoming stay with outstanding hospitality and comfort. - The host was absolutely wonderful, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast, a lovely picnic with my husband, and breathtaking views that made the experience even more memorable. Nothing.

The rooms were spacious and very clean, the pool was also spotlessly clean. They have a good Wi-Fi.

John even went as far as helping us with our luggage on our arrival and when we leave, he also opened the kitchen for us after hours to warm our food and helped us with it. He is such an amazing person.
Panache prepared the pool area for us to enjoy the view have a picnic.
They provided a wonderful breakfast, they created a home away from home atmosphere. Everything was lovely and exactly as it is in the pictures.

The breakfast was good and the staff was lovely.
There just seems to be no structure to the process. There is no air conditioning system in the room.
There’s no rug under the bed. In the winter times it’s important that you have these finishing touches to eliminate guests getting cold.
There are no twin plugs for devices
Ants in the sugar.
There is no restaurant and need to Uber eats
- Takatso (9/5): Superb -
- Zakhe (8/5): Good place for party people - I like the impala and I like my breakfast . I did not like that they had a party till 1am and with so much of noise And it happened by my window. I also did not like that I had to leave my conference which was 30 km away in order to collect the key for my room yet when I came at 21:45 there was still a party going on and vehicle going out of the gate
- Rawlinson (7/5): Nice location, nice breakfast, pictures don't always tell the whole story. - The breakfast was hearty and good. It was fun to have 3 impala to share it with.
The room was clean. The welcome bed arrangement was very pretty. The welcome sherry in the room was a nice touch.
The view from the view spot and the bar area was lovely, the view over pool was restful. We stayed 3 nights in what appeared to us to be the smallest room of the guest house. It didn't have aircon and the room was super stuffy. We had to take the fan apart to put the blades on correctly so that we could at least use it. When we asked to move rooms we were told they were fully booked and shown other accommodation under a different name and price. However the bigger room next to us was vacant at least 2 of the 3 nights.
The shower was full of obvious mildew and my husband now has athlete's foot from it. Also the shower door needs fixing so that it opens and closes properly and doesnt leak water all over the floor.
- Neilleroux (9/5): Superb -
- Louw (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ashir (8/5): Very good -
- Thabo (10/5): Everything was perfect, nice and relaxed space. Will definitely be going back. - Everything was perfect Nothing
