    Loved the View! Quiet calm setting - loved that we could get a game drive to ourselves through the host. Everyone was friendly and on time. The staff at the accommodation where great, quietly in and out and the place was spotless!

    Gorgeous stay at The Lake House, Hluhluwe, Kwa-Zulu Natal

    Aside from the Nagapie/Bushbaby family that gave us quite a fright in the middle of the night playing on the roof, (thankfully it was just the Nagapies) there really isn't anything negative to say.

    The location was brilliant for us as it was close to family. It's a wonderfully large property with plenty of room to entertain guests! Nellie and her team were efficient and friendly. The house is top draw, beautifully clean and it has pretty much everything one could ever need quite honestly. Thank you!

    That we booked only for a few days

    It can be said that for a lot of guest houses, the view is beautiful,the space it's self serene and and there always a mint under the pillow, Guest houses have these and more but what separated it from others was its wonderful staff who made it all but inevitable that precious memories would be made.

    Wow, what a beautiful property. The view over the lake is spectacular. We were a family of 9 staying for 3 nights, wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was of a really high standard throughout the house. It was really nice that things like crockery, glasses, cutlery etc was plentiful. I was really impressed with how much space we had, certainly no getting under each other’s feet. The house is really well maintained, and the staff are an absolute credit. You just had a feeling that everything was well thought out, it’s a perfect place for families to get together, I really hope we get the opportunity to come back.

    The wifi is a bit lacking, it works one minute and then loses signal. This could be because of the loadshedding though.

    Amazing view, perfectly clean. Nelly was so attentive to our needs. The generator was a huge surprise and well received.

    The directions from the road could have been a little clearer. But there was very little to be negative about.

    The property was excellent. It had plenty of room, was spotlessly clean and had everything that was needed. The views were superb Tand the housekeeping staff were friendly and engaging. There was plenty of wildlife to be seen on the property including monkeys and deer. The outdoor area was well designed and if the visit had been in the summer would have been used more.

    The cleaning could be improved, specially in the amazing kitchen.

    The house and environment are great. Craig was great and very helpful. Neli is very available and friendly. House is fully equipped. Very good experience for a group of 11 with teens and small kids, the house as a space for everyone and a beautiful view.

    We were of the opinion that we would have paid a small fee to have basics in the kitchen. We had no oil, olive or otherwise, balsamic, ground black pepper, a few herbs and spices. Also things like flour, tomato sauce, mayonnaise and chutney

    The location was superb. We loved the immense amount of space in the house and on the property. Absolutely loved having Nelly and Nesta do daily cleaning. Big bonus!
