You will need to receive a code from the hotel to enter the estate and drive/ride, slowly for approximately 2 miles to get to the lodge. Along the way you will pass warthogs, kudu and impala…one guest told me he saw giraffes also. Frank greeted me and registered me at checkin. He showed me around the lodge and took me to my AMAZING room in the Monkeythorn building. My room was stunning. I had an incredible massage, given by Maria. I would highly recommend her. At breakfast, Vote, served me with incredible warmth, conversation and a smile. I wish I could remember all the names but everyone was amazing. It is unusual to find a place of this caliber anywhere in the world like this. It is a ways from Kruger National Park, so allow an hour or ninety minutes to get to the gate. hope to return someday. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff and the food was terrific! ##### Brad Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful It was amazing especially the spa so so amazing and relaxing we will definitely come back for more treatments.

The property was really quiet and it had a lovely pool. It was unfortunately too cold to take a dip in winter. There was wifi available everywhere, but its speed could vary depending on where you were. It would have been nice to have some bathrobes available in the room. The views from the property were lovely, especially when you are on the observation deck and can see the Drakensbergs in the distance. The breakfast and dinner was enjoyable and generally varied each day. The service was also lovely and friendly. I stayed in the Mbali villa so it was about a 5 minute walk down the road back to the main building for meals. In the evenings, they can organise a shuttle to collect you and bring you back as it gets very dark outside. ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lance 1 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The lodge is beautiful and in a wild animal preserve so there are zebra and water bucks in the yard! The little extra touches to make one feel pampered are everywhere. Tanya is an excellent hostess and the staff can't do enough for you. And the bed was heavenly!! ##### Lance ### 10/10 Excellent #### Busisiwe Carol 6 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Place We had a beautiful stay and enjoyed everything.

O único porém é que a localização exige que o hóspede jante no hotel todos os dias, com valores um pouco salgados. De qualquer modo, voltaria outras vezes. ##### Paulo Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wataru 8 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 素晴らしいロッヂ。 スタッフもみんな笑顔で親切です。 ##### Wataru Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina 15 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wunderschöne Unterkunft.

We enjoyed our brief stay. We arrived late in the day and left early, so we did not have time to enjoy all the lodge and spa have to offer. The pool was a bit of a disappointment because it was dirt and the surface of the pool was peeling. The pool area could use a bit of sprucing up, but otherwise, everything was great. Very clean and cozy. We had everything we needed and the hosts were lovely. ##### Kathryn Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Glenda 19 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Maritz stay The stay was wonderful and the food Devine!!

Sem palavras para esse hotel! Nunca fui tão bem atendida na minha vida! Todos os funcionários são MUITO prestativos e atenciosos! O jantar (embora não incluso) é excelente! O café da manhã também é maravilhoso! Nos deram um upgrade de quarto e ficamos em um quarto absurdamente lindo, Charmoso e aconchegante! Eles se preocupam com os mínimos detalhes! Recomendo demais esse hotel! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/53DB0A6F307AC65DD8DDB5B5B281907C6E17A7601585620744883.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6D4F93F905AED656C3878550D8F88005E2755CA41585620765105.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C64FEC2878FAB7EDEB0DE97A48CBA658361F0BD11585620784495.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5F293AB820DDB0DFFBF77803028044D4AFE2735D1585620760555.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tamara Luiza Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Tudo perfeito!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Luan 9 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Atendimento horrível na chegada! A minha estadia começou muito ruim! Reservei um quarto para 3 pessoas conforme disponível no site do hotéis.com e chegando lá nos avisaram que minha reserva estava para 2 pessoas e que eu teria que pagar pela cama extra. Eu mostrei a comprovação da reserva e a atendente - Tânia - foi pouco solicita a ajudar ( mesmo eu mencionando não ter celular disponível para ligar). Ela foi insistente dizendo que na página de reservas dela, do expedia, mencionava apenas 2 pessoas. Ela pediu minha reserva e só imprimiu a parte que mencionava a parte que interessava a ela - que a reserva estava feita para 2 pessoas - sendo que abaixo mencionava que o quarto era pra 3 camas twin. Ela fez questão de ligar pra expedia, o mesmo sistema dela que já mencionava uma reserva de 2 adustos. Sendo que minha reserva estava feita pelo hotéis.com e nesse mostrava 3 adultos. Falei para ela que seria em vão. Ligamos no hotéis.com, ela fez a ligação depois de muito pedir a ajuda dela, de implorar de fato, e quando conseguimos falar com a atendente a ligação caiu e ela me disse que não ligaria de novo que teria que pagar. Mais uma vez tive que me estressar, levantar a voz, alegar que tinha pego pelo menos 2 pessoas, e que ela teria que me ajudar. Segundo ela, essa seria a última vez que ligaria e que se caísse ela não faria mais nada. Assim, ligamos novamente e o atendente disse que teve um erro na Reseva e que realmente estava para 3 pessoas e não para 2 como ela relatava! Ou seja, eu estava correto. ##### Luan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eben 31 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Do yourself the favour and go and stay here! Our stay was very relaxing - the staff really went out of their way to help us as I had a stomach-bug when we arrived there, so they called the nearest pharmacy to stay open for us, so that I could get some medicine. Charlotte is a very kind and helpful young woman. Beautiful surroundings and the breakfast is 6 stars! ##### Eben Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Sehr nettes und herzliches Personal. Leckeres Essen. Die Zimmer sind auch nett anzuschauen, es fehlt aber an einigen wesentlichen Dingen, zum Beispiel hat die Toilette keinen Abzug nach draußen. Wohlmeinend steht schon ein Raumspray bereit. Auf der eigenen Kleinen Terrasse fehlt ein Tischchen, auf das man mal ein Glas stellen kann. Der Gemauerte Schrank erlaubt nicht ein Hemd aufzuhängen, da fehlgeplant und zu kurz. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Botlierskop Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Klein-Brak-River-Hotels-Botlierskop-Private-Game-Reserve.h2991039.Hotel-Information) > > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [Paternoster Dunes Boutique Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paternoster-Hotels-Paternoster-Dunes-Boutique-Guesthouse.h31911613.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mooirivier-Hotels-Hartford-House.h27344764.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingdom Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moses-Kotane-Hotels-The-Kingdom-Resort.h6792618.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hlabisa-Hotels-Rhino-Ridge-Safari-Lodge.h9401037.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information)
