Exceptional locationFriendly staffStunning views
RyanAustriaOverall we enjoyed our stay and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We can definitely recommend a trip to this res
The location was beautiful. We really enjoyed being able to go on self-led game drives, see the animals up close, and go 4x4ing on the designated 4x4 trail. The view from the cabin was exquisite! The complementary rusks…
MeganSouth AfricaAbsolutely stunning view! Very tranquil spot.
GeorgeQAGreat experience
Loved the calmness and the little things like tea, coffee, wood and some rusks.
The fireplace at the cottage never had an option of being closed so everything rained wet.

BulelaniSouth AfricaI stayed at the cottage, it is very intimate and has a homely feeling. Loved it's antique style.
The environment was so peaceful and tranquil. I loved engaging and watching the animals.
Access to the reserve. I drive a sedan and it took longer to arrive to the site because of the terrain.
