We were disappointed that the Lodge didn't offer transport to and back from the Game Reserve. The rate for a game drive was steep, considering we still had to get ourselves to the Park.

We loved the lodge. The accomodation was comfortable and warm and we had everything we needed. The breakfast and dinners were exceptional and there was a nice variety of dishes to choose from.

The coffee was cold. The light in the alcove for the family room, was a bit dim

Rebecca and Themba really made the weekend memorable. Bedrooms were comfortable and food was good

Our stay at the Hluhluwe River Lodge was absolutely lovely. From the incredible welcome and friendly hospitality that started the moment we arrived and continued throughout our stay, to the delicious food and beautiful accommodation. We can’t wait to come back! And we can’t recommend the River Lodge enough. Absolutely superb!

the room was okay but didn't meet my expectations. There could be a bit more effort in updating the rooms and its interior.

wonderful restaurant with an amazing terrasse, excellent food.

The villa for two people is comfortable. It is clean and large enough to move around. The breakfast with their lunch box has enough food to carry you thru your daily Safari. The nite dinner is outstanding, delicious and plenty. Do not be deterred by the dirt road leading to the lodge you will eventually get to a very quiet place surrounded by nature.

To classify as a 4 star perhaps a few smalls things could be upgraded such as better linen and towels and the mismatched coat hangers, but it was a lovely place to stay.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. Central location to hluhluwe and surrounds

It’s a 30 min drive to the Hluhluwe reserve but was not really a hinderance. The staff and accommodation made up for it.

Great staff and brilliant chef. Food was amazing. Lots of antelope on the property. Nice pool to lounge around after game drives.

Literally everything. For instance the garden infront of the villa we stayed in, the thorn bushes have even been trimmed back well away from the walking path. Attention to detail is great

The property was well maintained and just all round great, we travel with two young children and the facilities accommodate for them. Will definitely be back

It’s a bit off the beaten track so takes a while to get to the main road down dirt tracks. Swimming pool area is a bit lacking.

Fantastic staff and excellent food. Very peaceful.
