The entire experience, especially the service from the staff who were some of the most professional, attentive and polite staff we have ever encountered during a stay!

Jordan · ZA · 2025-06-20

Lovely scenery, well managed wildlife reserve.

8.0

Breakfast and dinner was lovely.

The very small room with a bad matrass and mosquito net that made we struggle to get in and out of the bed

Steinberg · ZA · 2025-04-05

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return given the opportunity.

9.0

The breakfast choices were very good, while all the meals served were delicious.

The weather was appalling. Perhaps a second heater for the bedroom under such severe conditions? More lighting for the pathway from the main centre to the rooms at night.
