28 guests' feedbackWonderful view. Comfortable bed, best night's sleep. Game outside the window grazing.
We had an awesome time.
Perfect weekend getaway.
Had a great time. Quiet environment.
The cottage at Eagles Nest was an absolute gem. What amazing views and so comfortable despite being rustic.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
It's fantastic and I will always go again and again, something completely different. Heard and saw many animals and I felt very safe. I was treated well. Can't say anything bad. Enough wood and everything left for us. The place was nice and tidy.
Staff is friendly, place is neat and clean.
We had a lovely stay. Comfortable and beautiful. The main big house was very comfortable, can do with an upgrade of the crockery and cutlery. A slightly bigger fridge would be nice, for longer stays over the festive season. And to ensure all appliances are in working condition.
Conveniently close to Port Alfred, peaceful atmosphere and friendly staff.
The wildlife is amazing and the scenery is breathtaking. The monkeys were visiting and looking for handouts. Such fun.
Nice nice nice nice.
The platform is filthy. No attention to anything. Great idea, location and fantastic views. Monkeys are totally out of control. Lots of maintenance needs to be done.
If you want to get away from the rush of life. Here is your place. Can cut off and enjoy nature.
I would recommend Mansfield Game Reserve for anyone who would like peace and quiet and loves nature. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely return soon for another breakaway from the hustle and bustle of town.
My stay was memorable with friendly staff, JD, not forgetting the friendly giraffe.
Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend getaway. Couldn't ask for better, was just too short. Will definitely go back.
Had a lovely quiet time, accommodation could do with improvements and renovations are not quite up to standard in my opinion, the platform's shade net was full of holes and the faucet at the shower made a lot of noise when you turned it on.
Everything was neat and the staff were friendly and helpful.
Neat accommodation. Friendly workers. Well cared for animals.
We stayed in the Lodge and it was fantastic. Francina went out of her way to make us comfortable and convenient. Good value for money. They also have a small restaurant that can definitely be recommended. Thank you very much for excellent service.
I really recommend Mansfield Game Reserve above any other place by the sea. The area is beautiful, relaxing and so safe, even for my 2 year old son. The service is fantastic and the rangers very friendly.
It was an overnight stop for us on the way to Durban, so a good night's rest was very important. We were kindly received and after checking in, we had to drive a short distance to get to the campsite. We pitched a tent and can't complain about the facilities. It was a Monday and the campsite was practically empty, so nice and quiet. It was far enough away from people and the road that we weren't bothered by any noise or felt unsafe at all.
We had a very nice stay. Delicious in nature.
We slept in the platform. Very open, but safe in the woods. Really enjoyed it because it was something different. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Restaurant has good food and friendly atmosphere.
Very nice stay. Everyone enjoyed it.
We were looking for a place in which to prepare for the Shipwreck walking tour. The platform we rented was the ideal facility. The restaurant was also open over the December holidays but we didn't know that. We would have made better use of it for sure. Perhaps this should be stated more clearly on the website. I would love to go back and stay for a longer period of time.
Do not go here if you want to camp with small children. There are ticks and a giraffe that chops and kicks its head. The swimming area was very busy. There was also a puddle of sewage that we had to drive through. No indications of where to drive.
