    It rained during our stay, which made it not to be nice.

    The quietness of the lodge was outstanding. We had the family apartment to ourselves. We enjoyed our space without any interruption.

    Great rustic bush stay for a group of friends

    The camp is obviously set up for use by a group, even though as a solo traveler you are able to book only one of the accommodation units. There is only one shared dining table, one shared braai, all the seating is in the shared space..... So if there was more than one group in camp you will be forced to be sociable, whether you wanted to or not.

    This is a nice bush camp that allows you to pretend you are roughing it in the bush, whilst still having all the basic comforts you may need. I was lucky enough to have the camp to myself, but I can see a group of friends having a great weekend here. Surprisingly good birding in camp. Friendly and helpful staff.

    We lived everything but the train on occasion woke the kids and I would have liked some bushveld wood instead of buying wood from town.

    I love the fact that you are totally surrounded by nature.

    We were the only guests, and were given a free upgrade to the chalet with private pool. The host and gardener were also very kind and helpful. We greatly enjoyed spotting smaller wildlife from the hide out during the sunset and sunrise, and the peace and quiet of the stay. During the night we were visited by a honey badger twice that tried to get into the cupboards and fridge, some excitement for sure!

    locating the property from Town is a little mission impossible, no directions boards. all other stuff is exceptional

    very relaxing, the chalets are well positioned distant away from one another giving guests all sense of privacy

    The train was very loud when passing by, also at night.

    Beautiful huts and friendly hosts. Got an upgrade because of availability and a hyena that was in the park currently. So, wildlife is close by, which is great!

    There's no network coverage yet, there is a paper with emergency numbers should you need help. It is not possible to make a call. I know it is all about tranquility, please atleast have a wifi connection for emergency cases. We struggled with hot water, and I understand they using a donkey water warming process, can it be reliable please. Due to solar panels supplying power, the chalet had no iron in the room. You can only charge your phone, battery, cameras and laptop.

    The accommodation was very clean and the staff kept on checking on us, that was great.

    First of all I didn't event sleep at that place, hence i sent emails to request a refund. The place was horrible that my holiday was a disaster. The beds are children's bed, toilets and bathroom outside the rooms, you must go out at night while you are in the bush. The worst scenario, the toilets are not covered its like a cow kraal. We have to go back to town to look for alternative accommodation. PLEASE HELP ME GET A REFUND EVEN IF IT MEANS I PAY A PENALTY I AM WILLING BECAUSE I DIDNT STAY THERE. I SEND THE LADY IN CHARGE A MESSAGE ABOUT THE SITUATION AND REQUESTED A REFUND, BUT SHE TOLD TO TALK TO BOOKING.COM, HENCE IM REQUESTING ASSISTANCE TO BE REFUNDED.
