    I stept on a snake, which made me more cautious, but that got nothing to do with the facility.

    The lodge is also an events venue and you will notice that fact. I felt like an afterthought. We couldn't go on a game drive because all the vehicles were fully booked by event-goers. They forgot to cater for us on the last night(we were supposed to have a cave dinner but when we arrived, we were told that the chef had only catered for a certain amount of people), we didn't get our cave dinner. Saturday night was a nightmare, we couldn't sleep due to the noise from an event that was being held at the lodge... I would not recommend the lodge for those looking for a completely PEACEFUL getaway. Dinner was incredibly underwhelming.

    I liked the location, The cleanliness, the amazing breakfast, the friendly staff... it's a beautiful place.

    Rooms can be cleaned more often as the rooms have thatch roofs and naturally attracts more flies, spiders etc.

    Its a beautiful, well kept lodge with lots of game visible all around the lodge. There is a quite a lot of activities to do or you can just relax by one of the pools or in the jacuzzi if you prefer.

    If they repaired the problems I reported and replaced the dirty bedding. We had to wash out of the basins as the bath's plug was leaking to quickly and this they couldn't attended to within our three day stay. We were not informed of the costs for dinner and neither was it stated on the bill after dinner, it's way to expensive and would rather drive 40 minutes into town to go and eat. Dinner's quality and quantity wasn't worth the price.

    The aircon in our room made the nights pleasant.

    The rooms are very spread out so would have been nice if my request for a closer room was granted. They had a wedding which meant no activities for the normal guests and we then also found out that the only activity for the 5year old was the game drive however there is a cheetah experience in modimolle that was very nice that we drove out to do. The food was probably my biggest gripe. R340 Per person for dinner and each night was a basic braai type meal, chicken and rice or pap each night, sometimes chops, bangers or meat balls (very strange choices) with no extra cooked sauce and ur basic potato salad/Greek salad/slaw and malva and custard for dinner. Not worth the price and very boring, no real vegetarian options unless u consider broccoli and cauliflower bake a veg meal. So needles to say we didn't really eat dinner. Tv channel options were terrible.

    The staff were lovely and accommodating. Very friendly and happy. The accommodation was lovely. The rooms are very nice, the bar, lounge and boma are pretty and the rock cave would be a lovely place to have dinner. The ordered/restaurant lunches were well priced and delicious. The breakfasts were also yummy and a decent variety. The drinks were also well priced. The game drive was nice and a lovely driver. Jacuzzi was nice but got a tad brown by day 3.

    The pieces of litter dotted around the camp paths, driveways and surrounding estate and in the particular large amount of litter just off the veranda of our unit was very disappointing. At midday when we arrived and walked around the estate, the jacuzzi still had many empty glasses and bottles surrounding the tub. Not the standard that I expect from an establishment claiming to be a luxury game lodge.

    The room was clean and comfortable. Use of the pool was very pleasant. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

    One of the reasons why we picked this place was because of the cave dinning. However, I felt they should have mentioned that they need a min of 20 guests for cave dining, which we did not have. Dinner for one person was R343 (no drinks included). The dinner consisted of 2 salads, some sausages, chicken wings, a lamb potjie and dessert which we really didn’t feel was worth R686 for a couple. Cool drinks are around R37 for a 300ml. Lastly our lights went off as we were preparing to shower and goto bed. The Maintanence came, but said the main switch was in the other guests bedroom so they can’t get in as they were sleeping. We woke up in the morning and when my partner went into the shower, there were spider webs. They did offer us another room to shower when we were having breakfast but by then we had to leave. There’s a lot of potential at the place, but I am not sure if the target market is for foreigners as the extra costs is not justifiable for South Africans.

    The staff was really warm and friendly, and you could see some bucks roaming around the accommodation which was really nice.
