Wir sind von der ursprünglichen Natur, der besonderen Gastfreundschaft und großen Hilfsbereitschaft des Personals, der ausgezeichneten Küche und der einzigartigen Konzeption des Camps begeistert. Ubunye ist ein ganz besonderer Ort, an den wir gerne zurückkehren möchten.

Sehr schöne Lage in diesem einsamen Gebiet, sehr schöner Strand, mega nettes, herzliches und aufgestelltes Personal. Ausgezeichnetes Essen

Kein WLan

Aussergewöhnlich Die Ruhe-Abgeschiedenheit

Bei aller Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft der Gastgeber:Es darf doch nicht verschwiegen werden,wie abenteuerlich die Zuwegung ist-wir sind jedenfalls im Sand stecken geblieben-und mussten mitten im Wald rausgezogen werden

Traumhafte Lage, hier muss man gewesen sein. Unglaublich authentisch und dennoch luxery. Mit Sicherheit die beste Wahl zwischen Sodwana Bay und Kosi Bay.

Geweldig!

9.0

Zeer gastvrij! Personeel doet er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken. De vegetarische gerechten waren heerlijk! We hebben hier een heerlijke tijd gehad. Transfer naar accomodatie is prima geregeld. Fijn dat gemeenschap betrokken is bij deze onderneming. Veel geleerd over de omgeving van de accomodatie door onze gids.

Niks, maar let op, de weg ernaar toe is alleen bereikbaar met een 4x4 auto en rit duurt een uur.
