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.

Hornbill provided a peaceful and restful holiday for all of us. Access to the Lodge on arrival was trouble-free and we were impressed with the interior fittings. The surrounding gardens were well kept and enjoyed by us all, especially our two young grandchildren on their first visit to the bushveld. We were totally isolated and appreciated the peace and quiet. A daily game drive provided by the Lodge was a wonderful experience and our driver, Gift, was punctual, friendly, a very good driver and found an impressive list of game. The cleaner was friendly and polite and kept the Lodge in excellent order.

Fantastic, will definitely go again. Very comfortable with good facilities, everything you need. Place was neat and clean. We were 6 adults with 3 children.

Fantasties, sal defnitief weer gaan. Baie gemaklik met goeie geriewe, alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Plek was netjies en skoon. Ons was 6 volwasse met 3 kinders.

Outstanding! Excellent value for money. Received very good customer service. Had an unexpected complimentary game drive and the guide was great. Probably the best ever.

Uitstekend! Uitstekende waarde vir geld. Baie goeie klientediens ontvang. Onverwagse komplimentêre wildsrit gery en die gids was puik. Seker die beste ooit.

Quiet, peaceful, safe, beautiful. No complaints or problems, everything was right and in place. People were friendly and helpful, everything was clean and in order, including the swimming pool. Only load shedding could become a problem in the future.

Rustig, stil, vreedsaam, veilig, mooi. Geen klagtes of probleme, alles was reg en op sy plek. Mense was vriendelik en hulpvaardig, alles was skoon en reg, insluitend die swembad. Net loadshedding kan 'n probleem word in die toekoms.
