Everything was perfect and the… read more hosts Anita and Gunther were very kind and helpful. The animals visiting the dam, the view, the clean facilities and the hospitality were fantastic. We stayed in the Loft Cabin and enjoyed the air-conditioning, good quality beds, pillows and linen. Our cabin was serviced everyday by the friendly staff. Our daughter and son in law went on the game drive. They enjoyed it and were impressed by Gunther’s knowledge of the bush and the animals. God willing, Abendruhe Lodge will definitely see us again.

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 !
