The attention to detail is great, cabins very well equipped and clean. All the cabins have great views of the watering hole and the deck is a perfect place to unwind and enjoy the wildlife.

Would I go there again? Absolutely!. This is the perfect getaway destination just around the corner of the city life. More

The accommodation was superb, spotless and had everything you would need and more, and also… read more electric blankets , aircon/heating so you dont get cold in Winter. There’s a water cooler in your cabin as well in case you forget to bring water. The honesty bar had drinks and wood and charcoal for sale in case you forgot to bring or ran out. We loved all the outdoor seating areas, the braai and the fire pit as well. It was so peaceful and relaxing sitting by the fire looking out at the beautiful bush every evening. We were fortunate enough to see Zebra, giraffes and impala from our patio walking by and had just missed lions walking past the fence. We came to unwind from the stresses of our life and we got absolute tranquility and peace of mind from our stay here. The owners Gunther and Anita are lovely, friendly hosts who take care of everything you need. It is also great value for money, I dont think you can get such good accommodation at such fair prices anywhere else in the reserve , I would highly recommend staying here, 5 stars from us all around, we will definitely be back , thank you Gunther and Anita for a fantastic stay !
