2 guests' feedbackHad a friendly welcome with a home-baked bread! The house was fully equipped with everything one would expect from a self-catering unit. We had a fantastic weekend with swimming, fishing, wildlife viewing and a cozy family reunion.
What an absolutely amazing host! The host went out of her way to make the stay as pleasant as possible. To top things off, my family of six were treated with a fresh baked French bread and venison sausage on arrival. The charming lodge has free WiFi, Netflix, hot water, off-the-grid electricity, stylish furniture and elegant African decor. The tranquil surroundings, chirping birds and spectacular night sky added to the allure of the accommodation. What a place… We highly recommend the lodge and available activities. Bring the whole family and stay as long as you want. We are definitely returning to this sought-out gem at the foot of the Bamboes Mountain range!
