tranquil surroundings
The staff were friendly and helpful and changed our room when we asked for the most peaceful and remote room. The food was excellent. The rooms were great with very comfy king size beds and comfy pillows. Was surprised to see caged animals in a wildlife resort and that upset me. Lots of rabbits and birds in a small area with no sunlight - depressing. It's a great place to unwind - very peaceful and relaxing.

Perfect little stay
The hotel was quiet during our stay, and the value for what is paid for this hotel is outstanding. All the staff were beyond pleasant and helpful, suggesting things for us to do and greeting us around every corner. Often times it was almost off putting based on some previous SA hotel experiences (it was shocking and weird to experience such a pleasant stay). Not to mention the Zebras and Giraffes we saw.

シャワーのお湯が使えなかったので、フロントに聞いてみたら給湯器の電源が入っていなかった模様。お湯が使えるまでに30分待たないといけなかった。 プールが本館から離れており、行くのに車移動が必要。脱衣所が無かったのが難点。

Tiere bei der Ankunft sehen
Man kann Tiere gleich bei der Wasserstelle sehen kurz vor dem Check in.Strauße sind auch auf dem Gelände anzutreffen. Leider sahen wir keine weiteren Tiere mehr als wir auf unserem Balkon saßen. Der Bungalow ist schön eingerichtet und das Bett wird am Abend extra noch aufgedeckt. WLAN ist nur Restaurantbereich möglich gewesen. Das Zimmer- Bad waren sauber.

Nice chalets but no perfect value for money
It is a very nice and tranquil place in a private game reserve with impalas, Zebras, vervet monkeys and ostrichs. Food is good but dinner was very expensive as it was not included. You don't have many alternatives except from take aways from the fuel station. Cleanliness was over all good but some places do obviously need cleaning e.g. the top of the mosquito net and some old spider webs. Staff was very helpful. We had some nice game drives on our own in the nearby Hluhluwe national park.

Verkommenes "Lodge"
Zunaechst wirkt die Anlage ganz nett . Die Rondavels auf Stelzen sind gemuetlich und man sieht auch vereinzelt Zebras, Antilopen und Kudus waehrend man auf der Terrasse sitzt. Ansonsten wird den Haeusern wohl keine Aufmerksamkeit mehr geschenkt; nichts mehr investiert. War frueher wohl eine gute Adresse fuer Essen, heute runtergekommen. Personal sehr muede, fleckige Bekleidung, die ausserdem total von der Sonne verblichen war und verschlissen. Freundlichkeit war wohl ein Begriff den man im Sprachschatz nicht kannte. Alles, Tischdecken, Stuhlkissen strotzten vor Flecken. Wir waren nur einmal zum Fruehstueck, was uns den Apetitt verschlug. Es gab nur eine Sorte Toast und die auf Vorrat, alles immer kalt und zaeh. Wir beliessen es bei einer Tasse Kaffee und gingen in den 2 Tagen auch nicht mehr in den Essensbereich. In der 2. Nacht, morgens um 4 Uhr war dann ein europ. landsmann der Meinung, es gingen alle Leute auf die morgendliche Pirschfahrt und er es laut heraustrompeten musste, sodass wir hellwach im Bett saßen, aufstanden, Morgentoilette machten und um kurz nach 6 morgens schon auf der Weiterfahrt waren.
