Diamond Diggers
Anthony thiessen, Zambia
08 December 2010
We enjoyed the setup, and the family room set up was also good. It was a nice friendly place with kids. The pool appeared not to be usable, and the location is a bit out of the way. Free airport transfer was only from the airport, not back to the airport. The place does need some renovating in some areas. Over all, not bad, price okay too.
Enjoyable stay

Mr Williams & Jikwa enjoyed their stay at Daimond Diggers very much, they were there on business and it was close to where ever they needed to go, and the hosts and staff was very helpful and friendly, when they in JHB again they will definitely be phoning to see if they can get a booking again, the room was fine, they had no complaints. Keep up the good service!!! From happy clients Mr Williams & Mr Jikwa, Eastern Cape

It's in the middle of nowhere! The shuttle service is quite nice.
Diamond Diggers is ok....

The good thing was, we were picked up from the airport twice, and dropped off without a hassle - very smooth. We stayed on two different nights before and after a jaunt to Capetown. The rooms were shabby (not shabby chic) and the hosts/staff sometimes bordered on surly, with the obvious exception being the driver Mandila and, in person, owner Jenny. The room rates were fine, but the Soweto tour was very expensive. The place was very cold at this time, without spare blankets or heaters. ... more
