"The hospitality from the chef to the assistants was awesome."

We had a great stay and ate very well. Beautiful place and nice visit.

"The most beautiful house with the best food in the bush, a stone's throw from Gauteng!"

We had the best weekend at Kubu! The house is beautiful, equipped with the best of everything and a "view". Sarina makes sure everything is sparkling clean, she is friendly and it was nice to never have to worry about anything, Sarina does everything from beds to dishes! And the food, wow! Hennie is an executive chef, he served the most delicious, the most beautiful, the best food. "Fine dining" in the forest under the stars - and the portions are South African sized! Hennie was definitely "the Star of Kubu" for us. We felt like "royalty", spoiled with the best of everything. Hennie is both professional and hospitable - a rare find! Thank you very much for the best weekend!

"Unbelievable."

We had an amazing stay at Kubu Lodge and will definitely check in again! Hennie and Sabrina spoiled us with the best service. Upon arrival we were welcomed with delicious snacks and welcome drinks. The food was top notch and we gorged ourselves. The lodge is pretty neat and clean and you just feel at home. We were treated like royalty by Hennie who served us all the time with food and drink and he always made sure we were comfortable and happy. The view over the woodland and river with the goats or manatees walking past is breathtaking. In the evening the starry sky is delightfully beautiful and clear. The day after arrival we were spoiled with a game drive and a cooler bag full of good food and drinks that Hennie had packed for us, we saw lots of animals such as giraffes, warthogs, wildebeest, waterbuck, kudus, springbok, rhinoceros and more. Thank you very much for the fantastic stay and for going the extra mile to accommodate us.

"You will never want to leave."

What a truly magnificent spoil! I took my team of ladies to Khubu Lodge and we were greeted with bubbles and snacks. The drive to the lodge was filled with elephants, giraffe, buck, warthogs and more. Stepping out onto the deck we were treated to a view of Khubu (the resident hippo) and his family playing in the water. The views are spectacular and the sense of rest and rejuvenation is out of this world. We opted for the full experience with our executive chef, the awesome Hennie. We gorged on duck, lamb shanks (to die for) and the most amazing Malva pudding - I would go back just for that dish! James the owner assisted with also arranging a game drive in the afternoon, Hennie packed us a snack pack with drinks and we were given blankets for the cooler evening. The game ranger had incredible knowledge and our ladies and the other guests on the drive thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We arrived back to the lodge for more treats and spoils with a Snoek starter, that tasted like more! The fillet was out of this world and the Dullstroom Trout - stuffed with couscous - was delish. This is all paired with the most amazing wines. To finish off the evening we were treated to a mouthwatering salted caramel cheesecake. We ended the evening sipping on more vino while we again got a sighting of Khubu and his family. The next morning we were treated to a fully cooked breakfast, as well as continental breakfast and freshly baked muffins along with great cups of coffee. Our biggest regret was only booking 1 night as we didn't want to leave! I highly recommend this amazing destination for a work getaway, couples spoil and with friends and family. Thank you James and Hennie for truly spoiling us. We will be back very very soon.

"What a special place!"
