Staff were very friendly and helpful. Area is neat and clean. Kitchen has everything if you need something. The pool is lovely to cool off on a warm day.

Disappointed 😞

1.0

We saw 3 giraffes from a distance

Not clean, too close to road. Too many hazards for small child. Not safe, main gate not secure. We found dangerous construction tools laying in a ditch around the property. No clear communication from hosts. The property fixtures were broken/not functional. We did not get the accommodation that was advertised in the pictures and felt unsafe sleeping at the property. The bungalow was old, the roof kept making noises, sleep was impossible. Boasted about fireplace but no fire starter or lighter provided.

great stay with a beautiful view

7.0

beautiful view, lovely room and space. the fire place was especially nice. the room was clean and the bed was spacious and comfortable.

There were no cutlery available for self catering purposes such as plates, utensils etc. No microwave which limited our food options.

The gravel leading to the tents is not for every car really.
