“Fabulous, warm and friendly”
Really great vibe. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. The food was good every time we had a meal. There’s real skill in the kitchens. Proper South African flavours and nothing pretentious. I loved that about the place. Reception and welcoming was warm and efficient.

It’s very beautiful—the tents are exceptional, with lovely décor and great showers. If you’re looking to relax, this is the perfect place. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It’s also great that there’s a golf cart service to and from the main area and the tents.

Everything about this property is just spectacular! The location, wow! Watching from the pool elephants, buffaloes, giraffes and more across at the waterhole is just so special. The food and drink, the staff and the game drives all organised thru mdluli we could not fault! Also experiencing a Boma dinner one of the nights really just made it so unique.

“Easy access, spacious beautiful rooms **Misleading marketing tactics with no accountability**”
The rooms were meticulously clean and very comfortable - big plus for the heating function as Winter nights and mornings can get quite chilly. They are modern, very spacious, and felt very private until someone moved in next door the 2nd night. Piping hot water and great water pressure. View of the watering hole from the pool, cafe, and restaurant is great, spacious property.
