Marlize the host was very friendly and helpful throughout the stay, the room itself was also very neat and comfortable. The backup power and the pool both came in handy on one of the hot days when the power went off in town. Perfect stay for couples as well as it's very private.

We had a really nice good sized, authentic African themed room in the gardens of this lovely property. Clean, comfortable and with a very special ambience in the room, the main house and in the garden. A very special place. The breakfasts were the best we’ve had at any property with home made focaccia, sourdough and preserves. Freshly prepared seasonal fruits with Greek yogurt and a cooked breakfast. Adrian and Marie were exemplary hosts. Very attentive but never too much so. Adrian gave us great advice on places to go based on what we wanted. His advice was spot on. A perfect stay. Thank you.

We loved everything! You basically have your bedroom and bathroom, and then a beautiful shared area consisting of a kitchen, butler's kitchen, living room and toilet where you can cook or just relax. Outside is a terrace, a pool, an outdoor kitchen and fireplace area for those warmer nights. The room was well-outfitted with a coffee station, a mini-fridge, and of course a comfortable bed! The bathroom had everything you need, and even more! The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies, the only missing things were some herbs and spices, including salt and pepper. The staff were friendly and the owner, Marion, provided a lovely welcome! The location is superb, just a quick drive away from the main road!

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.

St Lucia is a great holiday destination.

St Lucia is a great holiday destination. Nice small village, you can walk freely at any time of the day or night. The John Dorys was fantastic. Spar and Shoprite allow you to purchase what ever you forgot at home. Traveling to Cape Vidal was epic, we saw Rhino and Hyena just passing our vehicle. Please check what time is low tide so you can better enjoy snorkeling at the reef.

I will always recommend to have a tour guide when you getting to the wild side because our tour guide was more than the word perfect in terms of understanding the area and animals and the zoo as whole.

It is THE place for scuba diving in South Africa! We can only recommend it ! Beaches are empty and one can snorkel on the house reef during low tide. Pity about the state of the reserve in general as it is not maintained and one often find no running water at the showers located at the beach.

Central to a number of tourist attractions, i.e. Umfolozi National Park, St Lucia part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. The town is a typical bustling, vibrant rural town, traffic a bit chaotic. I was staying for business purposes, If on vacation I would have probably stayed closer to where the main tourist attractions are.

We booked for 6 nights but left after the first night. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. The owners is misrepresenting the property. There was no ice machine. Aircon was not working. Shower is not draining the water away. Pool and entertainment area needs TLC. The unit was cockroach invested.

Set in the wilderness of KZN, this is a beautiful and comfortable lodge fitted with all the comforts one would need. Beds are comfy and the air-conditioning works superbly. The outside showers are amazing, you will love the pool and the hiking trails around the reserve. Spot the extensive bird life, zebra, buck and giraffe. Pack for a braai, because this place lends itself to the braailife.

The road from Ermelo to Pongola, especially just before and after Piet Retief/Mkhondo is terrible. Rather take a longer route which ended up being quicker and safer as you didn't have to worry about the state of the road.

Our time at Sodwana Bay was just what we needed!

Our time at Sodwana Bay was just what we needed! The diving was fantastic, as usual. There's so much to see underwater, from vibrant coral to curious marine life—it never gets old. For the family, the beach was perfect. The water was warm, which meant the kids could spend hours swimming without getting chilly. Plus, the currents weren't too strong, which made it safe and enjoyable for the little ones to splash around. It was a great mix of adventure and relaxation for everyone.
