We tried to sleep the night as we were thinking of staying a few days but between the mosquitoes and fleas it was impossible to get a nights rest so we rather left . This could be a great venue. ##### Jacqueline ### 8/10 Good #### Busi, pretoria 7 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### something good to remember Wonderful enjoying the company of our cousins ##### Busi ### 8/10 Good #### Stefan, Sverige 5 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Lodge Mycket speciellt ställe, det känns som du är 100 mil från bebyggelse.

I wont advice any person to visit that one. Parking far away from the room, shower was notbin a good condition, tap water was dirty road to the hotel is not in a good condition ##### Zwelethu ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 18 Apr 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a terrible choice; huge regret Worst service and facilities. Don't even bother staying here. Save your money and go elsewhere. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### J E Zelaya, Mozambique 17 Aug 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### A good place to make a retreat It was a little scary to get to the hotel as we arrive at night. The reception made by the owner was excellent, the cleanness of the rooms was very good. The breakfast was excellent. There are things need to improve: water quality, maintenance of the furniture, as my daughter's bed got broken when she went to sleep. In terms of rooms we received more than we paid. ##### J E Zelaya ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 19 Mar 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### bad experience Unprofessional staff, not able tout look at à computer.We booked but when we arrived they hadn't checked the mails, and we had to find something else in a hurry, as it was fully booked. To avoid. Welcoming is terrible. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 30 Oct 2013 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sehr abgelegen Trotz der einsamen Lage (Etwas abenteuerliche Anreise),haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt.Interessante Anlage,super Dinner ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Arno 30 Aug 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nett, aber extrem abgelegen Nachdem wir auf der Suche nach der Location schon umgedreht waren, fanden wir es schließlich doch noch. Gut 2km hinter jeder halbwegs normalen Straße bzw menschlicher Zivilsation. Nervig war das nicht vorhandene WiFi bzw. jeglicher Internetzugang, obwohl genau dies der Grund für unsere Buchung war (in der Hotelbeschreibung wird es einem als vorhanden verkauft). ##### Arno ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Jun 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Very friendly staff After two kilometer of poor driveway to the hotel we finally arrived to a place well worth the money. Frindly staff and rooms better than expected made our day. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### yves et betty 25 Aug 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### accueil excllent accueil confort et propreté parfaite ##### yves et betty ### 8/10 Good #### Daniela und Mathias, Illhart, Schweiz 15 Jan 2012 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ganz toll und ruhig Das Lodge ist zwar sehr abgelegen und nicht ganz einfach zu finden, dafür umso überraschender die Umgebung.
