Beds were really comfortable the shower was large with a view of the pilansburg park. Rooms were luxurious and spacious. In room facilities were great with daily refresh of water, coffees, teas and biscuits etc... The included game drives were always entertaining and enjoyable Highly recommend my stay, it was a great getaway from city life. If 1 recommendation I can make would be to include more high protein vegetarian meals for the included dinner. ##### Sean Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elena Oct 6, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Cleanliness The area is wonderful, the game drives were the highlight of our trip, we saw different animals on each ride. The lodge was good too, the staff was friendly, food was ok, it was a bit noisy to be in a room by the pool but there was no option to select the room location on Expedia. Inside it was a bit dated and there were bugs (but it is in the wilderness so hard to keep them out). There were elephants coming almost to the restaurant which was amazing to see them right there. The entire idea to put this lodge at edge of the park is brilliant, it was a great experience overall ##### Elena Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Claudia Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property with an excellent Spa. The only thing we didn't like was the Safaris. The drivers were rude, not willing to stop to see the animals, and did not explain anything interesting. Just drivers, but not guide,s and it's better to do self-drive safaris ##### Claudia Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tyrone Jan 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff is incredible, the food is incredible, clean, a lot to do and just all around good package ##### Tyrone Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariska Dec 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff and services were excellent ##### Mariska Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Reynold Mar 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great stay great Value for money we went for half board with the game drive option and we had a blast ##### Reynold Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveler Feb 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great hotel, with really good structure.

The staff are happy and friendly. We were lucky on our afternoon game drives we saw lots of animals. The morning game drive was very quiet, probably due to the cold weather conditions. The buffet was well catered for. The room was very comfortable and spacious. I highly recommend this property.
