    The long dirt road to get to the venue was in poor condition due to failings on the part of the local authorities.

    Meals were very good and staff were all very friendly.

    The place was nice, and peaceful. Loved the Game (wild life) roaming around freely.

    The road to the lodge is gravel and takes longer to get to the venue. I cant think of anything else other than the road.

    The room was very neat and comfy, everything from TV to cattle was working. The shower was spacious and beautiful, the restaurant was nice, I love and enjoyed the food. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

    The Friday evening dinner was a no no.i suggest that the have a variety of different food menu's so we get to choose what we would like to eat unlike we all eat the same thing and also have food warmers to keep the food warm.

    The place was fantastic,we had a great weekend away.there are so many activities and relaxation areas.the room was exceptionally good,the place is beautiful and clean.

    I was thinking the spa treatment comes with the fee I paid, and the website should explain well that what are extras in detail as I didn't notice that for the Spa i must pay extra R600, for me that was a bit dissatisfying. There should be a combo that comes with the Spa treatment because i wanted it but due to extra cash i could not use it. Alcohol is overpriced as well. The road used to come to the place is really BAD, needs to be fixed because it's like a 30 minutes' drive from the tar road.

    I loved the way the rooms are done, they are really clean and comfortable and you manage to forget about the world and the worries. I loved the breakfast and the supper.

    Goggle Maps got us lost so we got delayed. Use Waze for navigation. The gravel road needs an SUV and travel during the day

    Good value for money. Great and warm welcome by Tracy. Excellent service and food by Chef Thabo. Boma evening was the highlight for me.

    The food , not much variety was provided. They can do better. Whatever they lacked in other areas, they sure made up for it with their hospitality. Good Public Relations they have.

    The road was bad but it was fixed a bit on our way back. Some activities were not available eg. game drive, quad bikes, guided bush tour, Archery, horseback safari etc.

    The owner and stuff was excellent, food from Friday to Sunday (breakfast and dinner) was amazing. Inside activities were not bad at all. What we also loved the most was the dinner around fire place outside and Ditholo choir :)
