- "Lovely smaller hotel away from the hustle and bustle of the Zebula lodge but right inside the reserve with great rooms and dining." - "This is not a 5 star establishment by any means. The staff are very friendly and attentive but the state of the room is well below par. Shower taps coming out of the wall, cupboard where the fridge is is water damaged and mouldy - directions for Hot/Cold for the shower tap is written on the shower wall with a permanent marker. Dining is average at best - the restaurant is anything but "elegant dining" as it says. The only thing 5 star is the price they charge"

- "An excellent comfy home in the bush - separate and good distance from neighbours! An excellent golf course - " - "We went there to play golf on the course which is absolutely superb. It was difficult to get in as we didn't see the chalet number on the app at first - look carefully as it doesn't say 'chalet number', just the number! Staff were excellent. Food in the restaurant is very good and not expensive. We had a lot of ants in our unit which I know isn't unusual in S Africa but it would have helped to have had some Ant Killer somewhere. The safe in our room was locked shut meaning we had to take our valuables everywhere with us. The staff allowed us to check out a little later after our golf which was much appreciated. No wifi available which wasn't a problem for us for one night."
