Staff were very friendly and helpful. Porters available to carry luggage. Lodging is in individual brightly coloured huts with straw roofs and a patio with 2 chairs and a table. The room and bathroom were clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable with clean white linen. The shower nozzle had low flow but had hot water. Needs updated shower head. Lighting was fair to good. There was no A/C but there was a ceiling fan and a portable vertical fan. The temperature for the 3 days and nights spent here was 37-38 deg C. Despite the fans, the room was very hot and uncomfortable for sleeping. The internet worked at the bar and pool area. Our hut was close to this so we had internet in our room. The included breakfast had hot and cold items. The dinners were absolutely delicious, and included many different dishes. The chef is truly talented. There is an onsite gift shop, bar and pool

The accommodation is basic as expected in the bush. The beds were comfortable & clean. The staff were helpful & friendly on the whole. The rooms would be more comfortable with a small fridge to keep some cool drinks as would be very hot in summer. No air-conditioning but 2 fans provided in the room. The food was very good & breakfast boxes provided for early safari starts.

We stayed 2 night in this lodge and it was great experience. The rooms are so cool and very clean. Having privet showers and ceiling fan makes the room very comfy. There is a very nice bar and food was awesome, Professional staff and we took the small five search in the nature which was great. Thanks.

This was a fabulous venue for our daughter's wedding. The attention to detail and the hard work of all the staff was impressive. It was great being able to accommodate all the guests for 2 nights with excellent food. Having the animals wandering around was great fun, especially for the overseas visitors. Unforgettable.

If you want to experience Africa at it’s best I really recommend this lodge. The staff are very friendly, as are the safari rangers. They make you feel right at home. The houses are clean and spacious. And of course it’s just beautiful to step outside and see the zebra and wildebeest walking on the property. The food here is incredible, also a true African experience. Wifi is good, we also had it in the rooms which was a bonus. Great bar with lovely cocktails. So overall a very nice place to stay close to the Kruger National park.

The lodge was amazing! Huts were spacious (twin room) and clean, toiletries provided and mosquito nets on each bed. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The lodge has animal that roam free so woke up to a baby zebra outside my room, fantastic experience. The evening food buffet was really good, tasty food and a really nice atmosphere. The safari trip was amazing and our guide Eric was super nice and knowledgeable and helped us find as much as we could. They also provide thick ponchos to wear as it gets cold in the morning. Very grateful and we noticed no other tour group had them so a nice touch. Had the best experience here and would definitely recommend. Only 4 star instead of 5 as its 20/25mins from Kruger gates so have to leave a little earlier but doesn't affect the experience at all.
