Reviewer Type: Couple

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Everything about this stay was incredible, the location was incredible with a deck that looks out to the crocodile river where we saw hippos, crocodiles, elephants and even a buffalo. The deck was well equiped with binoculars, lots of seating options and even a pool table where we loved an evening game. The meals were increbible, amazing home cooked food everynight with dessert, we agreed it was the best food of our whole trip and a great opportunity to try some authenitic south african meals at a really reasonable cost. The staff were so attentive and friendly and organised us our daily game drives. These pictures do not do this place justice!! The room was well equipped and super clean.

Negative: I have nothing bad to say about this place.

Summary: Absolutely incredibe, would 100% recommend.
