Enjoyed it!

Martijn en Marieke hebben ons drie heerlijke dagen bezorgd.

The lodge is beautifully looked after. We enjoyed having drinks at the bar ... more

An absolutely stunning setting and good base for exploring activities in the Hluhluwe area. Service in general could be improved - self catering facilities a little rough, dinner arrangements not very organised and servicing of rooms irregular. Hosts did not introduce themselves and so arriving as guests we felt a little lost, although once we knew who they were they were friendly and helpful. Guests should be warned that the water is only fit for ablutions and that safe drinking water ... more
