    We had a bit of a water problem, but it was sorted on the second day.

    The property is so beautiful, spacious and comfortable. It felt like home away from home.

    House keeping arriving as early as 7 am made us very uncomfortable and it was such an inconvenience as we still wanted to spend more time by the pool area.

    kingly is stunning 🤩🤩, and quite spacious. it's the perfect destination for a family vacation. Anika is such a great host and always a call away should you need anything. The honesty bar is such a great initiative as we didn't wana drive to town and we had forgotten a few essentials. We had a Herd of Elephants come visit us everyday and we LOVED the experience. The bonus is that there are arrangements in place to help prepare for load shedding. Definitely a place we'd go back to. Oh one last thing, we loved the security :), gives one peace of mind.

    Lots of spiderwebs but now I’m just nit picking.😅

    Beautiful, peaceful, tranquil, and has everything you need. I loved the elephant that came to visit every evening and the sound of the lions roaring was just magnificent. Anika our host was also just so wonderful & really helpful.

    It was perfect! The only thing I can find for improvement is that the knives are very blunt.

    The Kingly Bush Lodge is wonderful! Very stylish and big rooms. The outside it very very pretty and just a few meters away from the Kruger fence.

    The adjacent hotel and conference center is in a serious state of disrepair with no facilities available and the spa was closed. The golf course was great fun but not in great condition and the villa's golf cart in the photo was not available nor were there any carts available to hire.

    The villa has a great bush feel and is nice and secluded on the Kruger fence - beautiful evenings around the outside fires

    Sadly did not see any wildlife in 3 days but elephants had been seen at the end of the garden 2 weeks previously, we just weren’t there at the right time. Slightly weird smell in corridor leading to the bedrooms - maybe overzealous Covid disinfection?

    So spacious, outside area beautiful. Wonderful hi-tech kitchen ( Alexa included!) Excellent communication from the owner.

    The only thing I didn't like was the estate itself, it doesn't look well taken off.. and the directions to the establishment was a bit tricky

    Wow wow wow the house itself was perfect, the outside is an entertainers dream, rooms are perfect size. We wr lucky to see rhino's passing by the house at night. The communication was good

    Cleaning staff arrive very early as we are sleeping. Difficult to clean bedrooms as guests are still sleeping. Otherwise great service.

    The location is amazing. Anika was a great host. All our needs were attended to. Clean well furnished property. Spacious house for our group.

    They installed inverters, the power failed every 2 hours, but sent someone very quickly to resolve The water for shower or bathing was not very warm as it was set on timers and not neccessary when we were at the property, but was reset once asked.

    The house is very pretty, neat and comfortable Enjoyed the braai and outside area the most Very quick response to resolve problems

    The en-suite bathrooms don't have a fan inside or windows for fresh air,they become stuffy as there's no enough fresh air going inside

    The space,the rooms,the furniture,the outside,the pool,the kitchen utensils ,even the fact that they make sure other things you didn't get time to get maybe are available in a reasonable price. We planning to go back,the place is beautiful and very comfortable
