Hard to find but once there, the peace and serenity of the bush is outstanding. The Rooms are well equipped and very clean. The Staff are AMAZING in catering to everyones needs... Would recommend it to anyone who "Wants to get away from the "hustle and bustle".......

The lodge itself is stunning. Great location, rooms are big and well equipped. There is a very obvious need for some management presence. Futhi is amazing however she is one person and this glaring obvious by the lack of visibility of staff in the middle of the day when you need something and there is no one to be found. Someone appeared very briefly on Sunday morning and Monday morning at breakfast to ask how we were - sadly that's not enough. The food was good, authentic with is great. However these is an excessive use of curry powder is everything!! Think the chef needs some guidance and perhaps some training on some new food ideas? We had to cart 5 bags down a sand path on our own with no assistance. There were two other older ladies staying while we were there who had to do 3 trips to their car, with no assistance from anyone. Considering the cost to stay at the lodge, these simple things that I think If were attended to would bring you more repeat business. For this reason we will not be back. The potential is there, don't waste it. There are many other options in the area.

Although we cut our stay down here by one night, we did enjoy the lodge. The rooms are beautifully situated in the forest. Although an outside jucuzzi is part of the unit, I personally think the expense of installing these could have been better utilized in the unit. A bigger fridge, decent shower caddy and a double basin! Please also make sure ALL the lights along the pathway are working. There were 2 out when we were there and it does create a challenge at night. Thanks to Rob for suggesting unit 7 rather than 5. Although the walk was longer, it was indeed a lot nicer.

It's a decent stay for the money, don't expect luxury. There is quite a drive on the dirt road and is a bit un nerving driving in a low profile car. Walkway to the room was a bit sandy, but not too bad. Views are good, areas are clean and wildlife is closeby. Pool area is quite relaxing. Breakfast was ok.
