          My wife and I stayed here after a busy group tour through Southern Africa and we really enjoyed the comfortable, characterful surroundings and excellent service after what had been a very busy trip. Ideal if you have a car and use this as a comfortable and safe base rather than staying in Johannesburg or you just want a couple of relaxing days away from the city.

          Great Rooms but left us wanting”

          Rooms, Gardens, Cleanliness

          Although we were only there for a night as we had an early flight to catch, I would rate the lodge as satisfactory+. The reasons are, the rooms are great, they are very well maintained, but our flight was at 6:30am and for the first time ever, I have had a hotel refuse to give breakfast 15 minutes earlier, which was a MAJOR down for us. Apart from that the grounds are nice , but we felt that the staff wanted to do the bear minimum to welcome guest. Anyways, would recommend the place as it is good value, although a little out of town.

          超級無敵糟糕回憶bad feeling ”

          游泳池很早就關門,還把客人鎖在門外,wifi網路也沒告知,晚上櫃檯都沒人,窗簾很薄外面光線都照進來,另一窗戶也沒窗簾,月光一直把房間照亮!枕頭都很高,睡到脖子酸,我還住高級房跟本浪費錢,早餐忘記拿鑰匙也沒告知!整體很爛,就游泳池漂亮而已不在住第二次了!very bad feeling,that all!
