Reviews of Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa 4 stars

It's a gem of a place. With exceptional beauty, facilities, and so much to see and experience. We saw so many animals up close, infact it was beyond our expectations. The food was worth writing home about and had a huge variety to choose from.. Staff were helpful, and they always had a smile to share. I highly recommend it! ♡♡♡

Friendly and helpful staff, amazing views from the restaurant. Good food and comfy beds.

Luxury, the staff are so nice, important place to visit near Cape Town.

The amount of animals is not enough to feel in safari but you can saw all different kinds of them, the spa was not included.

Game drives, lodging and food were all excellent!

Lovely Cosy Cottages with real log burning fires which kept us warm in the Cold Winter night. Safari drives were amazing with lots of information from the driver whilst viewing the animals. Buffet meals were varied & very tasty. A great experience for us 3.

Maybe a bit to busy/commercial. Would be nicer with less people around.

A lovely private game reserve where you can see plenty of animals. Fun game drives, plenty of good food at meal times, rooms very comfortable, we had great views overlooking the pool, countryside and animals.

Staff

It beautiful property very clean ,I love the safari tours and a nice pool I love everything about the place

None

I really enjoyed the safari trip and the buffet.

The room is very cold, and the heater is not sufficient to create a warm atmosphere.

The selection of food was good and the setting with the backdrop of the reserve was brilliant. Spa facilities were great. The young rangers was very educational for the kids. We also really enjoyed the ecosystem tour.

No pool option for children (in winter). No gym/ place to walk or run. Felt a caged in with not being able to exercise or go on walks. A walking trail would be beneficial.

All I ate was good and well prepared. Was well please that there are some catering for smokers but these areas canbe improved with something as small as a few garden years and tables. Smokers also spend our money to be there. It is not a crasch course to stop smoking and it is inconveniet to fall around to find a smokers friendly aread. IT damens my enthuasimh for the place.

To much food. Could not help to wunder about us sitting with these pileses of foods comparing it with the hungry in ex. Hayalitsha. I understand that with a diversity of visitors you, you are catering for variuos tastes. I will must rather eat from a menu. I will go there again, but definetly not in a standard room, it have to be at least a premium lodge or family cottage.

They have a schedule and activities you can do while ur at the property, all meals are included in the booking and the staff where nice

The Safari Game was disappointing, the land is so big and the animals are so few,, they can add more Giraffes, Zebra’s and many more animals, iv been to many Safari’s in South Africa but this had the lowest number of animals I’ve seen , it felt like we are just touring a empty garden

Food, in general, was really good. The Safari in the afternoon was amazing. The hotel is a great deal.

The bathroom was really cold.

We attended two safaris, both guides were knowledgeable. Property is clean and spacious, breakfast and dinner was included and food was nice.

Lunch buffet was not up to standard.

It was good that I book 1 night Nice play area for kids Friendly staff

Very few animals at the safari drive game ( so I skipped the morning one) Food variety at lunch was not that good (2 of my kids didn't like the options) Very cold room ( the big room) as the AC was old one and small ( not enough to heat big room)

The food was good quality for all inclusive.

The place is really run down and not worth the money we paid. We couldnt have a shower inside and it was freezing out. And we booked the place for the inside pool but our kids werent allowed in there. It didnt say that on the booking.com!

👌 : our Guides, Ayden and his Partner in the Morning was excellent!! 👌 : the beds 👌: the food

👎: after paying over 500€ for one night, having to pay extra to go into the spa pool. I have never experienced this in any hotel in the world. It leaves a bad taste. 👎: being rushed through dinner. I still had food in my mouth and my plate was grabbed from the table. Didn't ask for the bill - it's just being brought. I felt stressed and rushed. 👎 : no 2 point plugs or possibility to charge phones. Needs to be updated, since almost all guests are foreign.
