This place is actually such a lovely experience. We went there as a couple on our honeymoon as part of a trip around South Africa and found this place on booking.com. We're so so glad we came here. The staff are really what made this place what it is. Every single person introduced themselves. Everyone was accomodating and was proactive - this is what differentiates transactional customer service with an experience that makes you feel valued and welcomed as a family member. Now, I must say that driving there should definitely consist of a 4x4 or high clearance vehicle. We made a massive mistake of driving there from richard's bay in a tiny red dishwasher of a car, in the pitch darkness. However, the staff know about these issues and actually all live locally (they even know how many hippos are in the lake!) So they came in a pick up truck to help navigate us when we got scared of the animals at night. Directions on Google are being fixed but I'd either recommend Waze or I'd recommend using the directions given by the hotel. We arrived about 20 minutes before a major storm so some activities were off the table (like visiting the wetlands as they were flooded!) For the rest of the week. Though we went on all other tours. Even when we didn't have cash to pay our driver for the big 5 safari (highly recommend) the lodge just paid it and billed us at the end, saving us yet again! When we asked to move rooms as it can get quite slippery and my wife's ankle is bad, they did it in 20 minutes. When we wanted laundry done before our next leg, they promised 24 hours and they did it in just over 12 (they were dried and pressed too!) To add to all of this, they've got board games and amazing cocktails and food to help you kill time. The food actually was a major highlight. We worked our way through the whole menu as it was so nice! The burgers are a highlight by the way! They even called us a few days prior to arrival to check our dietary requirements.

Beautiful rooms - the large wrap around glass doors let nature in. Lying in bed and seeing a bush baby catch insects - just wow! The staff are wonderfull - helpful friendly and doing their utmost to make your stay memorable The food is delicious- cooked to perfection and served with a smile The bushwalking with Mlu. His enthusiasm shows and tracking the leopard ( which we did not see) was a highlight. His love and knowledge of his culture and the bush is infectious Proximity to Hluhluwe Game reserve and other attractions

We did not eat there we booked at the self-catering chalets. We would have loved to have breakfast but find R185 pp is a bit expensive. We did have a drink at the bar witch we loved as the bar lady was on the ball and so help full and friendly and to top it off, she brought us a bowl of popcorn, what a nice gesture. The property is like a little place in heaven rest for the soul. Will definitely be back, and the birding is fantastic.

We booked the penthouse suite - an 8 sleeper. It is beautifully furnished and clean. Room enough for all of us with a spacious living room. The staff were friendly and the bring and braai evening was a nice highlight for our stay . It was close to all the many restaurants in the area . We did have a hippo sighting one evening taking a walk on our way to supper. Would highly recommend a stay at the Lake View Cabana.

Restaurant and food was delicious and catered for any palate. Staff were exceptional and very friendly. Coffee was top notch. Loved the view. Thye best place in Sodwana for sure. A must visit! We did a turtle tour and saw both the loggerhead and leatherback laying eggs. Was fantastic.
