Not much

We stayed for a couple of days and it was really amazing stay, the venue was spacious and clean, the staff were always friendly and welcoming. The game drive was good and the guide was well informed and quite experienced

I like everything about the place.

I enjoyed the breakfast more , not to say other meals were not nice, my expectations were met and the waiter kept on checking us, asking if we are fine and smiling throughout.

I believe that was it not for such an exceptional host I would have felt the stay was overpriced. I know loadshedding is an issue for lots of businesses, but at this price I kind of expect not to have to deal with no water in my chalet because there is no power backup for the pressure pump. I understand that the generator was in for service, but surely a backup could have been arranged? I was a bit annoyed that the conservation levy was higher than specified on my booking and that 2 bottles of wine that you can buy from Makro or Checkers for around R80 each cost me R500.

Karel, our host was awesome. This place would not be the same without him as he played many roles during our stay. From welcoming us as we got there, to showing us to our room, to cooking the meat in the boma, to being our guide on the game drives and in general just being an amazing fountain of knowledge was what made our stay memorable. We had some EPIC game drives, seeing Elephant, Rhino, Lions, Cheetahs, a Caracal and many more. Witnessing a Wildebeest calf taking its first steps after being born just minutes ago to small things like hearing birds going crazy and seeing the snake they were chasing off. Karel takes ownership of every aspect of your stay and excels at it. The food was great and the bed comfortable, so nothing to complain about. I loved the outside shower. The other staff were friendly and attentive.

Nothing to complain.

Modern but traditional set up with a big love to details WiFi also quite stable and the fireplace to sit there after dinner was amazing

The stay was too short

Great time at a wonderful place We had a fantastic time at the lodge. It was like coming home to friends. There was a very warm welcome and a great hospitality all the time. It was very relaxed as there wasn’t a determined schedule. The location is perfect, at the end of the road. You can watch the game either from the terrace of your room or from the main building coming to the waterhole. The underground hide is also great, unfortunately there was not enough water that game came to that waterhole. The rooms are also perfect with outside shower. In the evening we had fantastic braais sitting close to the fireplace. Baie lekker. Carlo is a great ranger. We had good spots and it was lovely how much time we could spent with the animals. He has a very good knowledge and you can feel his passion for the animals. We enjoyed being a while very close to an elephant herd and waiting patiently for lions until they come closer. It was not like ticking off a list, running from one animal to the other, it was really enjoying the nature. For the game drives we stayed only in the Black Rhino part of Pilanesberg, so it was not crowded as there are no day visitors. Wished to come back soon.

Amazing people, food, and comprehensive game drives! Unfortunately for the property, the lodge was struck by lightning and is now in the rebuilding phase. They are such a special place though and our stay was virtually unaffected.

Everything was great.

It was a small game lodge. Only 5 rooms. Max10 people. So was quite, personal service. Jan-rye our guide on our game drives was excellent. Patient excellent knowledge of wildlife from the animals to trees and bird life and the park ease cella the. Made our game drives very interesting. Game reserve was worth it with good sightings of elephant, cheetah, hyenas, and many more. Rails were good, fantastic Braak the first night, great breakfasts.

The staff were fantastic. Deon made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. Took care of us from breakfast to dinner every night. He is a wealth of information and has more than enough campfire stories to get through plenty of nights. Great drives and sightings everyday. he went out of his way to ensure we ate well. Rebecca and Lerato as well, great. I would not hesitate in returning! Its small and you do not feel lost in the multitudes like you do at many of the lodges. Dad enjoyed his Birthday thoroughly.

The fact that they don't have backup for loadshedding,the is no water when the electricity is not there meaning bathing and going to the toilet is a problem and I felt for the money we paid they should really have backups. No wifi coverage in the rooms 😕 and the bottled water as well,the area is so hot and you don't get water in the fridge instead you buy. The amount paid I feel should match the standard. The staff must be trained on how to take care of guests. We had to ask for toilet roll because they didn't put enough. We were reminding them to vlesr our table .The food you don't have variety you are offered what they decide, I think they should rather have a menu so that guests decide what to eat if they can't do buffet.

The area is so private you are able to have all the time you need to relax.

Rooms old and dirty. Bathroom dirty. Mats in the room and bathroom torn and very dirty. In need of upgrade. Food was very basic and they even served leftovers on the one day.

The position was great. Staff very friendly and went out of their way to take care of guests. Karel the manager very friendly and helpful trying to do everything by himself.
