Relaxing, amazing birdlife. We absolutely loved our stay, felt very welcome. The braai facilities and braai areas were perfect. The team, Gift, Paulina, and Fifi were the best. The house was super clean. We will definitely be visiting again!

Comfortable house. Lapas and pool are wonderful. Good service! We had a very nice stay! Accommodation is spacious and neat.

Gerieflike huis. Lapas en swembad is wonderlik. Goeie diens! Ons het baie lekker gebly! Akkommodasie is ruim en netjies.

Fantastic place to stay in nature. Very comfortable place to stay, quiet and peaceful in nature. Animals moving around and on the property create a good atmosphere of being in the bushveld. The host and people go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The free game drives per day and ice cream are a big plus. Will definitely come and stay here again.

Fantastiese verblyfplek in die natuur. Baie gerieflike blyplek, stil en rustig in die natuur. Diere wat om en op die perseel beweeg, skep 'n goeie atmosfeer van in die bosveld. Die gasheer en mense gaan uit hulle pad om jou verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Die gratis wildritte per dag hou en ys is 'n groot pluspunt. Sal definitief weer hier kom oorbly.

A comfortable weekend getaway in the bush. The game drives are a nice bonus. It's a lovely getaway with comfort.

'n Gerieflike naweek wegbreek in die bos. Die wildsritte is 'n lekker bonus. Dit is 'n heerlike wegbreek met gerief.

The best experience we have ever had at a lodge. I would highly recommend this place. The service was excellent and they are very helpful. The house is very beautiful and we felt so safe and relaxed. The animals come right up to the lodge and we had the whole safari experience. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you very much, it was the most beautiful and best experience we could give our children for a first weekend away. The place is even more beautiful than in the photos.

Die beste ervaring wat ons nog beleef het by 'n lodge. Ek sal oor en oor hierdie plek aanbeveel. Die diens was uitstekend en hulle is baie hulpvaardig. Die huis is baie mooi en ons het so veilig en gerus gevoel. Die diere kom tot by die lodge en ons het die hele safari ervaring beleef. Ons gaan definitief volgende jaar weer terug. Baie dankie, dit was die mooiste en beste ervaring wat ons aan ons kinders vir 'n eerste naweek weg kon gee. Die plek is nog mooier as op die foto's.

Family weekend with small kids. Stay was amazing. Thumbs up for the lodge, small things like a complimentary bottle of wine, braai wood and ice were such a plus point.
