12 guests' feedbackFantastic bush experience with top-notch accommodation. Nice braai facilities. You can see animals from the stoep. Friendly staff at reception. We did an interactive game drive. We could feed animals too. We did a 10 km walk in the camp and saw many animals.
Wonderful house, fantastic amenities - lovely getaway!
The best visit you can have with the wildlife on your porch. Hospitable, friendly and very very tidy.
Very nice, just warm.
A few things in master bedroom and bathroom that need attention. Handrail in shower. All the floor mats not up to standard, neither are the bases of the bed which are full of marks and stains and do not have a fitted sheet left. The chairs on the porch are dirty with barrel marks.
Basic things like a kettle: it is a broken kettle that is super dirty inside; toilets are stained badly; basin's drain: something weird was stuck there; glasses were dirty maybe just rinsed and put back on the shelve, I had to wash it. There was not 8 glasses of each type, 6 some only two. Leather couch has a huge hole maybe ripped. Main bedroom's matress has a "pothole" on the one side, the linen has mould and staines. This was super uncomfortable. Most of the oil heaters needs to either be balanced or not make use of it. It falls over - not good if there where to be little ones visiting this property. . Even with a 50% discount, not worth R3000 p/d. Basic maintenance sell your property for a good asking price. . We will definitely visit Bush Lodge but not this property until some maintenance has been done. I hope you can bring this under the owner's attention because this is a true gem.
This a really wonderful place. Such peacefulness and comfort. Really well equipped too. Sitting on the stoep or around the fire is where we spent most time (and cycling, reception pools etc.) and you really get to enjoy the outdoors. We will stay here again.
Will definitely go again.
We loved the house and everything it has to offer. It's nice and clean and has everything you need - from the bathroom, to the room and kitchen. The little pond in front of the house is lovely because it attracts so many animals and birds. We will definitely go there again!
The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. Staff members are friendly and helpful. Nice activities to choose from.
Had a great time. Bushbucks came to our house asking for food every day.
