The villa for two people is comfortable. It is clean and large enough to move around. The breakfast with their lunch box has enough food to carry you thru your daily Safari. The nite dinner is outstanding, delicious and plenty. Do not be deterred by the dirt road leading to the lodge you will eventually get to a very quiet place surrounded by nature.

The Nkulu's house was perfect. We were only two adults and a child of 8 years. Next time we will invite two more family members to take advantage of the spacious house and extra bedroom, to get maximum value. The strong running water and having full-backup electricity added to the overall comfort. The original quality wooden furniture and plenty of reading from the private collection in the house and reception added warmth and homeliness.

For the price we paid, I would have expected that at least Breakfast is included. The sliding doors in Nkulu's hour needs serious maintenance. I pointed it out to the manager.

Our stay at the Hluhluwe River Lodge was absolutely lovely. From the incredible welcome and friendly hospitality that started the moment we arrived and continued throughout our stay, to the delicious food and beautiful accommodation. We can’t wait to come back! And we can’t recommend the River Lodge enough. Absolutely superb!

The property was well maintained and just all round great, we travel with two young children and the facilities accommodate for them. Will definitely be back

Literally everything. For instance the garden infront of the villa we stayed in, the thorn bushes have even been trimmed back well away from the walking path. Attention to detail is great

The breakfasts and dinners were of top restaurant quality. We even had a genet "join" us for one of our dinners. We were also provided with a very generous packed breakfast to take with us into the park. The front office staff went out of their way to book our activities. We so appreciated the unexpected upgrade to a honeymoon unit! We loved seeing so many buck species around our very private unit and would recommend walking the 4 km trail near the premises

There was nothing we didn't like.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful. Central location to hluhluwe and surrounds

To classify as a 4 star perhaps a few smalls things could be upgraded such as better linen and towels and the mismatched coat hangers, but it was a lovely place to stay.

We had the most amazing weekend away at Hluhluwe River Lodge! The food was exceptional, the location of the property was great, we were close to all the activities that we wanted to do. We loved our dinner visits from the local Genet. The hosting was brilliant! We had some lovely conversations with the owner and the manager about the history and rich culture within the area! We can’t wait to visit again! Thank you for a special Anniversary getaway Hluhluwe River Lodge!

This place is such a gem! It's absolutely perfect. The view is stunning. They have a museum which is really interesting. They also have a 4km walk in the property, allowing you to admire the beautiful antelope. The food is absolutely delicious! But the best of all is the staff. They're super friendly and helpful. A guy named Lesley kept checking on us and made our stay wonderful. They are so accommodating. They even arranged our safari drive. They packed our breakfast (which was huge!) They even included water, fruit, yogurt and chocolates! This place really is the best! We can't wait to be back. They also have a 4 star rating which isn't shown on bookings.com

The breakfasts and dinners were excellent, the staff very friendly and kind. Ockert the lodge manager went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience !

Great staff and brilliant chef. Food was amazing. Lots of antelope on the property. Nice pool to lounge around after game drives.

It’s a 30 min drive to the Hluhluwe reserve but was not really a hinderance. The staff and accommodation made up for it.
