    The kettle didn't work on my first morning, so I used the communal kitchen. The unlocked gate to the water hole, as insensitive guests entered with their cameras and scared off the creatures. The bushbaby feeding. The single bushbaby was unphased by rowdy adult and child viewers, and appeared very overweight

    Location relative to other places of interest, and the camp design : I was relatively undisturbed by nearby guests , and I could have a room opposite the water hole and I could see precious creatures come drink and eat. Friendly helpful staff :)

    There is nothing to do. We didn't see the bushbabies and didn't see any animals. The pool was dirty. There was nothing to do. Worse when it is raining. Beds just made after previous people left.

    Just the quiet atmosphere.

    Nothing to dislike.

    Bushbaby lodge is rustic but we love staying there as put stop over if we cant stay in the park. It is no fuss, no frills but good value for money. Our chalet was clean and comfortable. It is so peaceful and quiet. The highlight is feeding the bush babies! Staff are friendly and helpful! Our second stay and we will be back!!

    excellent base, particularly for Hluhluwe NP

    while there is a code to leave the camp you always have to ring the bell when you want to enter (feels a little awkward when coming back at inconvenient hours)

    Well maintained campground with some 15 cabins. Very clean, very quiet (some 3 km away from the main road, access via easy navigable dirt road from the major road), superfriendly owner, bushbaby feeding every night. Hluhluwe NP is just 23 km away. I came for one night, extended for another two nights and will go there again later.

    I had a great time here. I am grateful to God I was exposed to this wonderful experience.

    The problem with electricity load shedding was an inconvenience since it was affecting the availability of connectivity as well as access to water.

    The room was clean, quiet and far enough from other rooms , spacious enough. And had right temperature. I had a refrigerator for my food as well as a kettle for boiling water. It is far enough from the noise of the shopping center as well as far from the noise of the road. Here y are surrounded by nature you are able to rest well. I enjoyed the noise of the birds - it was relaxing I had a guided tour around the yard focus g on mostly on the plants, flowers, vegetables and the history of some of the buildings. Madam shared with me valuable and rare information on plants - I am really grateful for the the opportunity. I am looking forward to getting an opportunity to back to spend more time here to rest and connect with nature.

    I would have liked a mat next to the bed, and maybe some added amenities like a little soap or tea and coffee sachets.

    The peace and quiet, the view of the little water hole and amazing friendly staff. Seeing the Bush babies is always so exciting. General Cleanliness was excellent.

    The bed is as hard as a rock with a thin matrass. The add says breakfast served, but when we enquire about breakfast they said the chef is weekend off. Then they asked some staff member to cook our breakfast for R85.00 and it was not worth the price. No white bread toast. One tiny slice of bacon and a sausage that was not tasty.

    Clean and quiet.
