Wonderful staff, exceptional remote location on Blyde River, excellent food! Beautiful grounds, swimming pool and comfortable room. Perfect spot for a base to explore Canyon and area after Kruger.

Rigtig godt udgangspunkt

Deres måde med at man skulle bestille morgenmad og aftensmad til bestemt tidspunkt og uden at vide hvad det bestod af var ikke ok. Aftensmad og deres drikkevarer+ div var alt for høj i forhold til kvalitet og andre steder. Ellers er skønt sted

Unterkunft mit speziellem Flair

Wir hatten eine ganze Gartenlodge und man fühlt sich wie in einem botanischen Garten. Das die Zufahrt schwierig ist, wie von anderen Gästen bemängelt, kann ich -trotz kleinem Polo- nicht bestätigen. Die Zufahrt ist so wie die Straßen im Kruger-NP. Was nicht so toll war, war der trübe Pool und das für SA-Verhältnisse zu teure Menü. Da würde ich eigenen Braai empfehlen. Das Frühstück war gut, wenn auch die Damen dort ihren ganz eigenen Rhythmus und Charme haben. Fazit: Wir haben die Zeit dort genossen und können es empfehlen.

Fantastic food and service!

Fantastic stay! Cabin was very cosy and comfortable. Great service and the food was absolutely fantastic! 7 km gravel drive but so worth is, we saw monkeys, zebras and wildebeest on our way there. Relaxing!

Tolle Anlage sehr weit abgelegen.

Eine wundervolle Anlage, direkt an einem Fluss gelegen, super ausgestattet, tolle Athmosphäre. Tiere laufen zum Teil frei herum. Von einem kleinen Wildpark mit Giraffen und Zebras umgeben. Sehr lange Anfahrt über eine 6 km Wellblechpiste. Abendessen recht teuer, nicht sehr gut. WLAN kostenpflichtig, Küche spärlich ausgestattet.

Amazing

Wow, one off the most beautifull place I add a chance to go in Africa. The food is very good, the land where the house are is amazing. It's possible to see zebra, crocodile, hippopotamis, girafe etc. To go there you need to pass in a beautifull plantation.

Séjour de 2 nuits, les chambres sont superbes, très bien décorées avec goût, ainsi que le restaurant. Le PDJ est copieux et il y a tout ce qu'on attend d'un PDJ.

Road to the Hotel not car friendly 4x4s only

Stay was fine- happy with the place-however- the road to the hotel is terrible for cars. Breakfast wasn't included and way too expensive considering how long it takes to get to town to buy supplies.

Great location, an amazing experience to get there

There's nothing around and that's good. You need to drive down back roads for twenty minutes or so before you go through a series of security gates which help keep the animals in/out. If you come through late in the evening after the sun goes down you can see an amazing dark sky. The staff is very friendly, room was comfortable but be careful ordering the dinner...it ended up costing us more than our room :)

Extérieurs super mais intérieur à revoir

C'est vrai que le lieu est magique tant les piscines et notamment la rockpool que le restaurant et sa terrasse juste idyllique.le lodge était très beau de l'extérieur mais quelle déception à l'intérieur.deco peu soignée, pseudo cuisine avec frigo mais ni four ni plaque, salon peu accueillant et douche petite et bouchée.restaurant bon mais rapport qualité prix je trouve le tout un peu élevé.mais bon je n'oublie pas les extérieur juste fabuleux !!
