They absolutely spoiled us for our anniversary. The staff is friendly and the owner really cares about her guests. I like that they recommended activities we can do. We loved the room, and the bed was super comfy. Absolutely loved the bike riding and being able to see the wildlife.

Stayed at this delightful lodge for 2 nights when visiting friends. We had 2:lodges, one for myself and one for my sister and husband. The rooms were well furnished, clean and comfortable. There was a large bathroom, order bath and an outside shower which was lovely. Whilst there we saw buck outside our rooms and lots of birds, although the swimming pool looked inviting we did not take advantage of it as were too busy! The breakfast was good and cooked to order. Overall a good place to stay.

I was a little disappointed about the communication. No one notified us that there was no power the first day of our stay. Our friends that arrived before us had to text us and keep us updated, till I reached out to the lodge myself. Our friends that we shared the villa with had to drive into town to charge their mobile phones. We only arrive the day after the power to the lodge was finally restored. The lodge is beautiful but our villa could use some needed maintenance, some baseboard tiles need repair. We could not use some lamps because there were no outlets or no converter plugs for the outlets. The housekeeper said the previous guests had stolen them. I had a lamp on my nightstand that was useless since there was no outlet for it. In the 3rd bedroom was no Aircon or even a fan. At our first breakfast we received a basket with toast and the toast was covered in maggots and other bugs. Give yourself plenty of time since it takes about 30min after placing an order since there is only 1 cook. Otherwise the English breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. It would be nice if the lodge would have blankets for guests that find the thick duvet cover too hot for sleeping. The Aircon’s in the 2 main bedrooms worked great and the WiFi was strong and very reliable. The morning we drove to Kruger Park the cook was kind enough provided us with a warm breakfast and hot coffee at 5am. We really appreciated that. The Boma is a great touch and we enjoy an amazing braii by a fire two of the nights. The groundskeeper keeps the property very clean and presentable. The private wildlife estate was a little disappointing since the only animals we saw were warthogs, nyala’s and impalas. We drove around several times, but that was all we saw. I personally would not stay or invite friends to this wildlife estate again.

We staid for three nights in the lodge. Every thing was perfect; the staff, the villa, the breakfast. The rooms were clean and had all the facilities a family needs. The staff was very friendly espacialy "Difference", he was very helpful and was always in contact and answered all the queastions we had.
