    Impeccable Service and Delicious Breakfast

    The hotel is not on a very big reserve but we saw some stunning wildlife up close, like Kudu, Zebra, Giraffe and Warthog, and it does make it safe to get out your car and walk or mountain bike around the reserve.

    Excellent little hotel with amazing size rooms, really comfy beds, attentive staff, and fabulous breakfast. They ran out of oat milk for coffee and instead of apologising (like most hotels would do) they sent someone to the shops to buy some for us. The service is truly amazing. Ask for the Leopard room if you want to share the same throne as someone famous. Big thanks to Rowan & Shelly who looked after our every need.

    The staff is unreliable. I asked for a wake-up call twice at 4:30am, and they assured they would call, however, they didn’t. I was able to make it on time despite severe jet lag. So, if you are in a similar situation, please don’t count on them. Additionally, I prepaid a light lunch weeks ahead of my trip. They charged my card twice and then forgot to provide lunch on the day of the safari. Please note that wait time is quite long if you end up needing to buy lunch at the Kruger Park. Absolutely unnecessary inconvenience considering I planned ahead of time and the hotel staff failed to provide.

    Excellent location, beautiful rooms, great food.

    Nothing not to like.

    We initially had booked for one night but extended our stay for another night because we couldn’t just leave this serene and beautiful place. Loved seeing the animals in the morning.

    Beautiful setting in the bush but the main bonus is the exceptional food. The chefs are passionate about the food and I would say it is better than most top restaurants in Johannesburg. I was blown away!

    Management level staff were unprofessional in their dealings. I've been t To safari moon before and the staff are less friendly and the level of service is not the same. At the same token the barmen, cleaners and waiters were lovely

    There was honestly nothing I didn’t like – everything exceeded my expectations.

    Everything – the lodge is absolutely beautiful, the atmosphere is peaceful, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the food was incredible (especially the traditional South African braai on our last night), and the bed was so comfortable it was hard to get up in the morning! Also enjoyed our massage

    We were disappointed to not have a working aircon upon arrival. We especially booked the room with pool. Anthony moved us to another massive unit for the first night and had the repair team out the next morning to fix aircon and promptly moved our luggage back to the original room. He handled the situation brilliantly. The food however is very expensive as it is a full 3 or 4 course meal and sometimes a choice of only one meal would be better. The breakfasts were included and very good.

    The property and the staff were amazing. Anthony was exceptionally good. Extremely attentive and willing to go the extra mile

    It was everything absolutely perfect!

    The lodge is just amazing! The room is very comfortable and well decorated with attention at any detail. The staff is memorable, they prepared a dinner for the day we arrived served in the room, even though it was very late. I had a very special birthday, with a table setting with balloons and a kind card in addition to a cake served after the dinner. The food is outstanding, the chef deserves a 3 stars Michelin! The staff arranged all the Game Drivers, Kruger Day and Nature Drive (with a bottle of sparkling wine :) ) to us when we could learn a lot about wildlife. Having many animals in our backyards were speechless. To wait for our flight, they prepared a package with some snacks and water for us, so kind... I would like to thank so much for all the staff, specially Crystal, Melinda, Luis (the Chef), Rowen, John (who is not John :D), Jackie and Saskia. Team, YOU ROCK! I will certainly be back!

    The lady that took over on Friday was not friendly at all. I don’t think she is in the correct profession. The power kept going on and off for the entire evening.
