Jackie
It was a great experience. We saw a giraffe and some other wildlife in the yard. It was very comfortable for 6 people
Paula
Lovely stay
Absolutely loved our stay! Will be back...
David
Loved It
Great service, amazing surroundings. Game drives nearby were great.
Serge
Awful
A great property is well situated in Bush a great connection with the nature where you can see some wild animals roaming freely from the entrance and u can also observe them from the deck the only disappointment was the cleanliness of the rooms and the toilet the Aircon was making a hell of noise however the breakfast is great and the staff too always willing to assist we were looking to do a game Drive in Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park within the Lodge but they were too pricey I think it’s just ripped off for a 3hours Drive they were asking R 2280 per person excluding conversation fees
That’s too much a flight ticket return from Jobur to Cape Town can’t even cost u that much

Our lodge was very nice and the staff were excellent. The food on offer for both breakfast and dinner was very good with a nice mixed selection to choose from.

Giraffe Heaven
Was super chilled. We got to walk between zebras, impala, giraffes, loved it

Bushlands getaway
good food - very friendly staff - close to Game reserves
HN Freese
Good Concept
The raised wooden rooms are a fantastic concept but the decor is a bit dated.
Graham
Rather Tired
The lodge was fine for the price.
Yvan
Very nice stay
For a 3 stars, it is excellent. The site is very nice within a private game reserve. Just a little improvement can increase it to a better star rating. Very nice stay for surrounding visit of Umfolozi-Hluhluwe reserve. Breakfast are excellent. Dinner is not bad too. we have been 3 days. A large group arrived last day and it was too much people for the lodge facilities and personnel (has to be carefull on that).
Verified traveler
An average lodge with average facilities but helpful staff and decent food.
Vladimir
Real game lodge
Bungalow are nice and clean - while staying on a wild side. You have to drive about 3 km on a dirt road (quite passable by a compact car).Restaurant is good and staff is very friendly (but slow - which normal for SA). Walk-ways between bungalows and other buildings are elevated and easy to navigate.
A nice youg family manages the property.
Special perk is hundreds of antelopes (with many nayalas!), dozens of wild beast and zebras and a family of three giraffes in the natural environment of the large park around the lodge. The best part is that you can walk on your won - there is no predators in the park - a couple hours of trails and come close to all these beautiful animals. Staying 50 feet from father-giraff is a real thrill. If it is too much for you - you can see them from a comfortable observation deck.

Schöne Lodge
Hervorragender Service, insbesondere von der Küche. Das Essen sehr schmackhaft und gut. Die Einrichtung der Zimmer ist rustikal u nicht mehr so ganz neu. Der Aufenthalt war schön u entspannend.

Safari dag en nacht
Tot en met de giraf loopt door de tuin, antiloop voor de veranda, aapjes op het dak !

Emplacement exceptionnel
vivre quelques jours au milieu des animaux fût une aventure fantastique; merci à tout le staff et particulièrement à David que je vous invite à connaître
fam. GJ
leuk, ook voor kinderen
Comfortabele lodge met veel privacy en veel te doen in de omgeving ook voor kinderen. Ontbijt en avondeten was uitgebreid en goed. Zou er zeker weer naar toe gaan.

For lidt værdi for pengene
Opholdet levede ikke op til vores forventninger. Pris og kvalitet stemte ikke overens. Hytterne var meget nedslidte. Badeværelset var meget dårligt vedligeholdt og meget lidt renholdt. Om natten var badeværelset fyldt med karkelakker. De hyttefaciliteter som var angivet på Hotels.com stemte ikke overens med den hytte som vi fik. Som eksempel kan nævnes, der var ingen badekar, fjernsyn, safebox m.m. Den positive side af opholdet var den skønne natur og det venlige personale.
Lambert
Une bonne étape pour Hluluwe Reserve
Une bonne étape en plein bush ! Avec un peu de chance, vous croiserez une girafe dans le \"jardin\". L'accueil est excellent, les bungalows en bois sont simples mais jolis. Pour info : 5 km de dirt road, faisables en citadine à petite vitesse.
Ben
Décevant
Avait le potentiel pour être un beau lodge mais les matériaux utilisés, la décoration, l'aménagement général sont ratés et en donne un résultat décevant. Prix très largement surfait. Par contre, le service était très bon.
Paul
Excelent location to visit the Hluhluwe/Umfolozi game park
The accommodation is recently refurbished and located in a beautiful small game park.
We had a perfect stay and I would recommend staying here for a least couple of nights. The park organizes tours to the Hluhluwe/Umfolozi park (big 5) but also guided walks over the own game park (small game like zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, nyala). There is a viewing lounge where one can sit have a drink and watch the animals drinking.
All the staff in the park are really friendly and nothing seems to be to much for them, thanks to all of them this has been an unforgettable short break holiday.
