    There is a narrow dirt-road to climb to get to the place, but then you are over a hill in a slightly wild place but with a view on a portion of the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park: with some luck, you can already spot animals! It is at no more than 5 minutes from the HluHluwe gate of the park, perfect for an early drive! The host was extremely kind and helped us with all our needs!

    Cleanliness wasnt excellent. It was clean enough but ice trays in the little fridge had mould and the shower didnt drain very well. Agree with a previous guest that the shower head and the mirrors way too low. Would have been nice to be able to get charcoal vs the wood fire. Ice availability would have been great. Kitchen could have been cleaner.

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Location excellent. Rooms comfy. Aircon was an unexpected bonus. Great to look into the Hluhluwe Game reserve. Boma area was great. Kitchen was functional and had everything we needed.

    The signpost at the entrance is very unclear and the GPS co-ordinates is a mess. Difficult to find the place as it is a bit off the road

    Self catering, communal facilities good Shower needs a coat of paint. The shower head is way to low, impossible to stand under the shower and the space is to small. Water pressure is very weak.

    The location, helpful staff and communication was good. It was peaceful and quiet. Good basic facilities and comfortable stay Definitely will visit again and recommend. We stayed in no 1 unit

    The road to the property is in bad shape. in heavy rain or after one I doubt it would be passable for a small car with just 2x2

    proximity to Hluhluwe was superb.

    Water pressure was not the best. Pathways between facilities are very steep in some places which may be a problem for some. Access road is a dirt road with some ruts which may cause issues for certain vehicles.

    Location is on the border of the Hluhluwe game park so very quick to get to the entrance of the park. Staff was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the surroundings. Room has an aircon in.

    the small fridge in my chalet was not working which was probably due to the frequent power outages (load shedding) and not a problem for me.

    great views of park edges from individual decks of the small chalets; location just minutes away from Memorial Gate entrance to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi-Park very friendly and helpful staff going out of their way to assist and make small services possible (including washing my clothes) self catering option in a shared kitchen for all guests; nice big fridge and huge ice box available for all guests in shared kitchen free WiFi in public areas

Dining room pleasant and clean. Much needed maintenance around bonfire area. Garden in need of weeding and maintenance.
