Annie is so friendly and helpful. Everywhere was immaculate and exceptional quality. Wonderful breakfast of fruits, yoghurts, pastries and full English. The staff went out of their way to cater for our fussy eater son! Evening meals delicious. We loved having sundowners up the lookout tower. A fridge in the room was a bonus. Only 40 mins from Orpen Gate. Such a relaxing location we will definitely be back and for longer next time.

Nothing, loved it all!

Great location In a private nature reserve so we saw lots of animals just driving to the lodge! Such as buffalo, wild pigs etc Fantastic host and staff- thanks Annie! The lodge itself is fantastic, lots of amenities, a nice bar, common area Amazing pool with a umbrella and comfortable loungers. The room itself was modern, had AC (very important in this hear!) The outdoor shower is truly magical. And of course the food was really delicious You cannot go wrong picking this place for a luxurious bush safari experience.

There was absolutely nothing to dislike.

Great location - not too far from Hoedspruit airport and in a private reserve that's a great hub to explore around Kruger. The lodge is very cosy and intimate. Reminded us of camping, while still having all the necessary facilities and feeling looked after. The staff were all brilliant and qualify as one of the most welcoming people ever.

Everything was great. Just to set the expectations right - the pool is for dipping, not for swimming.

We stayed at this lodge for 5 days in October and it was truly the best experience. The lodge itself is very modern, beautifully decorated and the outdoor shower is such a welcome addition. Annie was amazing - she helped co-ordinate and book all of the activities we did and helped us navigate and change/update our plans as a result of weather. Annie gave us great recommendations and answered all of our questions. The food was a real highlight of the trip - from the fresh fruit starter at breakfast to the three course meal in the evening. We cannot recommend this place enough - the staff went above and beyond to make our stay in South Africa amazing and we really appreciated it.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, lead by Annie and Betty. They were prepared to make adjustments to accommodate us all in timings and tastes. Food is outstanding; they have a very good chef. We especially liked the honesty bar and that you could come and go at the pool and lounge as you liked. They did not overdo the lodge thing which created a very relaxed family atmosphere. And of course, seeing Roan antelope from our tent.

Everything about the property is great, lovely dinners, lovely ladies from reception to the serving. Lovely room, very clean and cosy. The location also great, I’ve travelled more than three times and I use a small hatchback but the roads aren’t bad.

Not to say I didn’t like but the transfers were a bit steep for only one excursion 🥹🥹 I paid it but out of my budget

Well-designed rooms / tents with outdoor showers which we loved. Very good food, dinner as well as breakfast. Very nice staff and owner. Just good to know that it is quite a long drive (approx. 12 km) from the main road to the lodge which needs time. Zebras and other animals are walking nearby, in particular at breakfast time. Great!

A very pleasant stay — the rooms and tents were clean, cosy, and well-designed, with lovely outdoor showers. The food was enjoyable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Annie, the host, made sure everything went smoothly. My 2 year old had a blast. I'd be happy to return.

The lodge has a lovely vibe, and the different rooms are comfortable, clean, and well-organized. If you’re lucky, you might even spot wild animals while at the lodge. Annie is an amazing host and did everything to make this one of the best stays I’ve ever had. I’d love to come back anytime.
