Awful
A great property is well situated in Bush a great connection with the nature where you can see some wild animals roaming freely from the entrance and u can also observe them from the deck the only disappointment was the cleanliness of the rooms and the toilet the Aircon was making a hell of noise however the breakfast is great and the staff too always willing to assist we were looking to do a game Drive in Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park within the Lodge but they were too pricey I think it’s just ripped off for a 3hours Drive they were asking R 2280 per person excluding conversation fees That’s too much a flight ticket return from Jobur to Cape Town can’t even cost u that much

Good Concept
The raised wooden rooms are a fantastic concept but the decor is a bit dated.
