    1.Staff - There were few as a result, and housekeeping was not done daily as expected. The room was not thoroughly clean upon arrival. Found spider webs on the corners, two huge spiders behind the bathroom door, and a lizzard roaming around the thatch roof. 2. Location - the place is in the bush, very isolated, away from the city and services. It is very far to travel to and fro. There are places of attraction around but there are few. 3. Transport - there is no transport to get there. No e-hailing. Nothing. Owning a vehicle is a must if you want to get there and places nearby. Otherwise, you won't survive the stay. 4. Shopping centre-very far from the lodge. Spar, which has the most basic things one needs and KFC . 5. Spa-it was not operational as advertised because the therapist was away for holidays.

    The place is very peaceful. On our way there, we saw a giraffee and impalas. The place is picturesque as advertised. Sleeping in the bush and hearing the lions' roar nearby was so thrilling. Mr. Ray and his wife, plus the staff, welcomed us warmly, and we felt at home. They were available and ready to assist and tend to our needs, ensuring our stay was as comfortable as it gets. Even when we ran out of baby's supply, Mr. Ray personallyⁿ stepped in and assisted with taking us to and from the shopping center because our car broke down the day we were coming over to check-in. We arrived very late and passed check-in time, but we were welcomed so warmly. Breakfast was delicious. In fact, the food they serve there is delicious and served with love. There's also a bar which serves all drinks, so there's no need to go to another place.

    Truly tranquil and serene

    The chalet wasn’t sparkling clean, the floors were sticky and the shower had to be cleaned while I was there. There’s a level of professionalism the staff lacks. There’s an overfamiliarity demeanour they have. They made my stay almost seamless, nonetheless.

    I absolutely loved the serenity. It truly is tranquil. The sounds of animals and birds at any time of day made it that much more peaceful. The communication from the manager was great. The food was amazing, but some is too pricey for the small portions they offer.

    The staff and the owner were amazing… you can enjoy nature and see animals just walking about… they are neighbors with other lodges that offer different activities… I enjoyed the peace the food… you can also bring your own meat have a brai… they no longer have horse back riding but they can direct you to places that are in close proximity

    The garden can be maintained a bit better, and the waredrobe had a weird smell.

    The host was really great. The location is just around the lion and cheetah sanctuary, so you can hear the lion during the night.

    Have no comment here am sorry as it was my first time,was so amazed about the place and fascinated as well just being around nature only brought me peace and joy and Benny she is an exceptional woman who noticed all the visitors there

    Very good and organic they served what you needed and you also pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee; they are optional cereal while you are waiting for your breakfast that’s what I love about their service

    The booking was not flexible, we were hoping to change a date but we couldn't. We also couldnt connect to WiFi as the signal was not good.

    We enjoyed the breakfast, a quite location and the staff was friendly. We saw a lot of animals as we were driving within the property, even though we didn't orginise for a proper game drive

    Lightning in the room was very dark. Very small bathroom and shower. Lightning from the outside is very bright and shines into your face when trying to sleep at night. There is no option to switch it off.

    The location is close to a Johannesburg so great of a quick getaway. Host is very friendly, attentive and welcoming. Restaurant on site for 3 meals a day so you do not need to self cater but that is still an option. Induction stove in the room and braai facilities if you don’t want to eat at the restaurant.
