I recently was again with a group of people at gooderson Bushlands lodge, and again it was “ok”. Some people did not had water, others mentioned that cleanliness was a bit on the poor site. My own room was spacious but the tv was removed and only wires hanging out of the wall and it smelled a bit damp, but otherwise ok. All in all nothing serious. But what is unexceptionable is that staff takes stuff, not theirs. I left a very expensive headlight behind, realized it the same day and phoned in the same evening. I asked if it please can be couriered to Cape Town before my flight back in 13 days. Wich was assured. However after more then a week I got a phone call I need to organise a courier to pic it up and bring it to Cape Town. Not only have now precious 8 days past, I was also expected to organise a courier while on holiday. Needless to say I had to fly back without my goods. On later enquiries it was told one does not know where the headlight is! This is theft in my opinion as it was clearly found by staff and brought to reception and management. Unacceptable !!

The location is really good, right in the bushes, however you can navigate around nicely.Poor cleaning though in the room we had. The floor was dirty and the pillows had cigarette smell.

Having arrived at their gate late in the evening, they promptly took myself and our colleagues in put us in comfortable beds and fed us nutritious and fulling meals for the evening and morning. All at an acceptable price. I do plan on returning in the future either with friends or by myself

We were treated like VIPS everything from the booking to the game drives (Our guide was Siya and he taught us a lot about the wildlife in the park) and service of every staff member was exceptional. It feels like your home away from home just without having to cook and clean. The breakfast and dinners were amazing with a huge variety for everyone's taste. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you may need, and if not someone from reception is there in a flash to assist. Thank you again for this amazing experience

Bushlands is located within coastal forest which provides a beautiful setting. Love the bar and fire pit area very cozy and relaxing. Food was good and the staff very friendly and helpful. Seeing the bushbabies at their buffet area was a real treat.
