Good, but could be much better.
The area, rooms and service was great, but the restaurant can be much much better. Every dish I had was extremely underwhelming and plain bad.

This lodge is an absolute hidden gem. We loved our stay. Beautiful rooms, very clean, outdoor luxury shower was amazing. Dinner was fantastic with the firepit. Staff were lovely and friendly. Thanks so much for a great stay. Will definitely return.

Aussicht, Essen, Zimmer, Serive - alles TOP!
Liebevoll gepflegte Anlage mit sehr freundlichem Service. Die Zimmer sind in hübschen Holzhäusern mit bequemen Betten, Outdoordusche und fantastischer Aussicht! Sogar an Moskitospray wurde hier gedacht, wir brauchten es aber zum Glück nicht. Das Abendessen war sehr gut und auch das Frühstück ist zu empfehlen- besonders das selbstgeröstete Müsli! Wir würden hier immer wieder buchen!

Perfection
A simply fabulous 3 night stay. Our cabin was large and so comfortable with an out door shower. The view was superb and the food was absolutely excellent. One evening the hosts created a brai for their guests which was such a great experience. We enjoyed our chats with everyone. A perfect 3 days. .

Beau lodge familiale, soigné et bien emménagé. Les rondavels avec vue sur le lac de Josini sont joliment décorés et ont beaucoup de charme. Belle piscine et beaux espaces exétrieurs. Le personnel est particulièrement aimable et attentionné. Un barbecue peut être organisé sur demande. Seuls bémols : le pommeau de douche coulait mal car entartré et la personne qui nous a accompagné sur le lac de Josini remplaçait le guide "officiel" mais n'avait pas ses compétences donc sortie en bateau décevante ...

Panorama de rêve...
Bungalows disséminés dans un joli jardin botanique et une vue splendide sur le lac. Moustiquaire, douche exterieure...de très bon moment. Excellent dîner et excellents vins.

Erholsamer Zwischenstop
Sehr schön gelegenes Hotel. Wunderschöne Chalet mit toller Aussendusche! Anfahrt sehr steil und Naturboden. Für einen Zwischenstop nach Norden oder Süden sehr zu empfehlen.

Very typical africa experience, We loved it but could be noisy at night with wood cracking on the hut.

Sehr zu empfehlen, für die Restlichen Big Seven
Super Lage trotz steiler Zufahrt, die aber mit jedem Pkw zu befahren ist. Die Cottages enthielten alles Notwendige für eine entspannte Unterbringung. Hervorragendes Dinner und Frühstück. Besonders empfehlenswert sind die Rivertour (Crocs und Hippos satt) und der Gamedrive mit Guide Maxwell. Preis-Leistung bestens.

Für eine Übernachtungen auf dem Weg zum Kruger okay. Zimmer toller Ausblick. Dem Pool hätte eine Reinigung gut getan.

Wunderschöne Aussicht auf dem Pongoloriver.
Der Bootstrip auf dem Pongoloriver mit dem Guide des Resorts ist sehr interessant und unbedingt zu empfehlen. Gamedrive auf dem Wasser.

Tolle Safari Lodge
Wir kamen leider sehr spät an und blieben nur eine Nacht. Haben aber den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Sehr freundliches und kompetentes Personal. Hielten für uns sogar die Küche noch offen. Das Essen war auch sehr gut und auch das Ambiente des Restaurants und der Bar, war ansprechend. Alles im Stile einer Safari und Angel Lodge. Sehr hübsch. Die einzelnen Häuser sind typisch eingerichtet. Sie sind groß, haben eine Terrasse mit Tisch und Stühle, Bett mit Mosquitonetz und das Bad hat eine schöne Aussendusche. Außerdem ist viel zu unternehmen. Schön die Lodge selber hat einen wunderschönen Garten mit hiesigen Pflanzen und schönen Pool. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker.

4/10 Fair

Disappointed
We stayed one night as a couple. Everything was fine (not amazing) but we did not enjoy the over prized boat cruise and were charged for more drinks than we consumed. What's more, the boat guide was very inappropriate and dangerous towards the animals during the cruise. Only recommend it if you are a tiger fisherman!
