"Arrival at the property was disappointing. It took a while to get hold of the lodge manager , as no one was at the gate to open. Dispute notices about dangerous animals, I was still expected to get out of the car and open the gate, same at check out too. This was is irresponsible as if puts guests in danger! Property requires updating, no phone in the lodge, so guests have no way of contacting reception/ manager. Staff were accommodating, attentive and helpful. Had fish and chips for dinner,...

"We appreciated the extra care and service provided by the staff and owners. The room had some issues when we arrived but were seen to as soon as they could. We had fantastic meals made for us, even catering to our vegetarian request. The pool was a great way to cool off, close too National Park, easy secure parking and a fan to keep us cool during loadshedding. Thank you for a fabulous stay"
