    You can not park your vehicle close to your chalet. For someone with a disability this is strenuous. The bed lamps need to be switched off at the door.

    Nice view, breakfast was excellent. Very friendly staff.

    Bathrooms felt a little bit exposed (especially at night) as there was no glass in the windows in our room but mesh instead.

    Lovely private rooms with a lovely view of the river. Location is good for getting into Kasane town centre, but could feel a little bit far out. Breakfast was delicious.

    It was clear that ,under new management, the property was undergoing a lot of refurbishment, but the pool area needed an earlier intervention.

    The location and staff were exceptional. Joe,the guide was exceptional and Tshidi went well beyond the call of duty in helping us during our stay.

    The restaurant was not good, the breakfast was terrible. Not much vibes in the place, like it is not completely active. The boat cruise was very low cost.

    The rooms were very clean, confortable and the bathroom was renovated. Nice green area with beautiful view to the river.

    Big location, but not a lot of guest so it felt a bit deserted. They have renovated the property, but still need to arrange the finishing touches. It’s the little details that make a stay thoughtful to return to. Talked to the owner to adres these and he was very responsive and appreceating the feedback. So hopefully our next trip year the little details are being thought of.

    Beautiful location! Piece and quit.

    Dinner price was to high. Wi Fi in room not available due to weak signal. Bar facilities not available. Only a fridge with a few items. Shaded parking a problem.

    Location. Staff was friendly. River view and garden was very good. Boat trip to the bridge was great.

    There were no defined walk ways to the rooms and it had rained, so my shoes ended getting soggy from the wet grass. There were also no shower caps in the rooms and the breakfast was left wanting with not enough ingredients to offer a satisfying breakfast. specifically I asked if I could have an omelette and there were no “ingredients” to make it. The power also cut off for some time and there was no backup generator. I struggled to find the reception area because there were no signs guiding where it was.

    It’s right by the river bank, stunning view of the Chobe river from both the room and the restaurant area

    Overall slightly disappointing... -Staff were a bit surprised to see guest arriving at the property :) :) :) -Pool area needs some attention. -Strangely was a 'big deal' to get lunch served. -Served breakfast with very limited choice and the coffee was undrinkable. -Expensive buffet only option for dinner.

    Lovely room and a nice location by the river. Organised a good value afternoon river cruise for us.

    The rooms are ok, however, the aircon was not working in one of the rooms for which they allocated another room but even in that room, the aircon wasn’t working. Also, for activities, it is better to look for local tour guides rather than booking with the hotel.

    The location of the property is very good.

    The newly grew trees and grass are still young. I am sure this will be one of the best lodges in Kasane.

    I love its location, mysterious entrance, open lake view, authentic local grass-roofed holiday home, awakened by strange and lovely bird calls, clean room with lovely bedding, especially mosquito net cover. Thanks to the fast internet, great and delicious breakfast and dinner, friendly staff, beautiful sunsets and encountering different kinds of wildlife on the Chobe River I am amazed...   Will be back soon! ! !

    Location was fantastic..abundance of birdlife....many Hippos in front of lodge and elephants on the side of lodge which gave me great joy to watch...All the rooms were newly renovated as an african theme with modern comforts and luxury....The breakfast and dinner was superb ...All staff were well trained to service me whenever needed....Overall,I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and I would certainly recommend it to family and friends......
