    Every thing at Tinswari was designed to delight. The staff, the accommodations and the location could not have been better. Our little Bush Baby visitors in the evenings were an unexpected delight. Thank you for hosting us!

    Lovely bush lodge with all the comforts of home. Lovely pool or jacuzzi to relax and cool down in. Close to Hluhluwe National Park for those looking to go into the park for game drives.

    minor petty stuff, could use little soaps in bathrooms, a cloth for wiping counter instead of using dish towel, directions were little hard, could use signs a bit earlier on, instructions on how to use stove and microwave, but otherwise it was an amazing stay and we will come back for sure

    it was very private and quiet really spacious and clean and neat, loved the jacuzzi. amazing stay and we will come back for sure.

    The bathroom too the left was leaking with the heavy rains

    We were all very happy with the accommodation and all aspects of the units, from the inside and the outside Outdoor showers were nice but needs towel hook or holder and soap holder of sorts Outside could do with a pool lounger or two. The staff were exceptional and kept everything clean. At first glance we thought the gas braai had never been used, so hats off to the staff.

    Hi there, sorry about all the bad faces- everything about your property is wonderfull except that there was a double booking. Who made the mistake on your side we will not know?! We could therefore not stay in the chalets, which was a big let down for us....we were really looking forward to staying there. The other couple/ family did, but we had to go to additional housing on the property ( which was also nice and clean, BUT not what we wanted or paid for). So our friends were really far apart.

    Nice bush, beautiful chalets- just sad that we couldn't stay in one.

    1. You need to take absolutely everything you need. There wasn't even a bottle of water in the fridge after a long drive or a drop of hand soap. I had to go out to buy tea and sugar to make a cup of tea on arrival. I realise it is self catering but I have always had a few tea and coffee sachets/pods on arrival. One pillow each with no extra pillows or blankets in the unit. Aircon remotes did not work as all batteries were dead. A number of spot lightbulbs needed replacing; 2. you receive no information about the reserve or anything (not even instructions for the TV which didn't work properly whilst we were there). I had to find a map from the internet to find the trails in the reserve, which is a pity as they were so pretty once found. No information on the area or any facilities close by; and 3. you could still hear a lot of road noise from the unit we stayed in (Lodge 2) which was a pity when surrounded by such beauty. The units further back in the reserve would be quieter.

    The unit is beautiful and very tastefully decorated. Location is good and near the park with a nice restaurant on your doorstep. The private reserve is lovely to walk around with lots of wildlife.
