Very nice. Would book it again. Very short, but we really enjoyed it. Breakfast was very good and the facilities - especially the bathroom with the massive bathtub - were very clean and as shown in the photos.

Good but could be better. Stay was OK, but another couple was playing loud music and nobody from the staff said anything about it until we asked. That is not OK in an environment where loud music is not allowed. Also, all curtains were way too small.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that your stay was overall okay, but we are sorry about the inconvenience caused by the loud music from other guests. As you correctly mention, loud music is not allowed in the estate in order to preserve the peaceful bush environment that most guests come to enjoy. Normally, our team addresses this immediately, so it is disappointing to hear that this only happened after you mentioned it. We will remind the team to be more proactive in ensuring that the quiet atmosphere is respected at all times. Regarding the curtains, thank you for pointing this out. Your comment is noted and will help us review this detail to improve guest comfort. Gem in the Bush is a guesthouse, where certain spaces such as the pool, lounge and dining area are shared between guests, which also means that mutual respect between visitors is important to maintain the calm atmosphere of the lodge. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving the experience for future guests. Property owner

Bly was so so. I had a great stay, it's a nice place, clean and very neat. It's located very close to the road, could have been a little more in the bush. The room is not well furnished at all; on the contrary, just a bed and a small coffee table in the corner. Curtains are awful; two tightly drawn curtains don't even close the large sliding door, the same with the large window. The bathroom and outdoor shower are very neat and modern.

Ek het lekker gebly, dit is 'n mooi plek, skoon en baie netjies. Dit is baie naby aan die pad geleë, kon dalk net bietjie meer in die bos gewees het. Die kamer is glad nie goed gemeubileer nie; inteendeel, net 'n bed en 'n klein koffietafeltjie in die hoek. Gordyne is aaklig; twee styf getrekte gordyne maak nie eers die groot oopskuifdeur toe nie, dieselfde met die groot venster. Die badkamer en buite stort is baie netjies en modern.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that you found the property beautiful, clean, and well maintained. We are also happy that you appreciated the bathroom and the outdoor shower, which many of our guests particularly enjoy. Regarding the location, the lodge is indeed situated within the bush estate but close to the access road, which allows guests to easily reach nearby attractions while still being surrounded by nature. Concerning the furniture in the room, we have chosen a minimalist style to keep the space open, calm, and uncluttered, in line with the peaceful bush atmosphere. However, we understand that some guests may prefer more furniture, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective. Thank you again for your visit, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

Thank you for your feedback. We are a little surprised by your rating, especially as your comment mentions that you enjoyed the peace and quiet during your stay. We always try to ensure that the experience offered matches the description provided online. Gem in the Bush is a guesthouse, where some areas such as the pool, dining area and lounge are shared with other guests. This is clearly indicated in our listing so visitors know what to expect before booking. Many of our guests particularly enjoy the calm atmosphere of the bush, the opportunity to relax around the pool, or even have breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the nature reserve. Thank you again for your visit, and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
