Met ons aankoms by Ilita lodge is ons vriendelik ontvang deur n uiters professionele personeel.Ons het selfs n komplimentêre opgradering ontvang. Die kamer was baie netjies en gerieflik.Die uitsig oor Grootbrak en die see is absoluut asemrowend. Die personeel het baie moeite gedoen met aandete om ons tuis te laat voel. Ons sal enige tyd Ilita lodge aanbeveel.Dit was n wonderlike ervaring.

“Superb views, luxurious accommodation (in the "penthouse"), worth the extra expense.”
The views - on a clear day - are fantastic, the rooms large, clean, beds comfortable and having your own private bathroom for each of us (I was travelling with my 82 y.o. mom, and my sister), was an absolute luxury.
