We'll Be Back!
Bushwillow's Boutique Red Ivory self-catering chalet in Hluhluwe is a little piece of private paradise! Surrounded by the dense sand forest, with prolific bird-life and excellent walking trails, the chalet is beautifully designed and tastefully decorated, luxuriously finished and comfortably equipped. The private plunge pool and complete tranquility offer an unforgettable opportunity to simply "breathe", relax and ENJOY! We're already planning our return journey....

Horrible expérience
Nous navons pas pu dormir sur place
Pas d'air conditionné ni de WiFi alors que cela était indiqué, il faisait 38 degrés dans la chambre.
L'accueil s'est extrêmement mal passé car la personne ne parlait pas anglais.
Le dîner devait se faire impérativement à 6h tapante.
Nous avons demandé à voir le manager qui après 1h à daigné se déplacer. Il n'a pas pu régler nos problèmes et nous a proposé 50% de remboursement pour partir. Ce que nous avons fait à contre cœur...

Man muss hier gewesen sein super Service, eine morgen Fahrt und eine Abend fahrt durch den Busch mit den ganzen Tieren ist inklusive! Es gibt sogar jedesmal ein Picknick abends mit Wein und morgens mit Kaffee! Super Pool und super Blick vom Berg! Am Ende ist diese Loge eher zu günstig. Super weiter so!

On arrival we were greeted by Ben with a welcome cold drink, help with our luggage and a quick tour of Red Ivory, which was very well equipped and so peaceful. Huge bi-fold doors opening out onto the bush and splash pool area.The only sound constant bird song.
We'd booked db&b and learned that Ben was the chef. His cooking was superb, making even our breakfasts special and serving up his delicious personal recipes for our evening meals.
Then there was De Wet who was such a great host, There was much banter with him regaling us with stories of his exploits. (Many times with frowns from Ben when our food was waiting to be served!) His daily advice and knowledge was invaluable,
Another Ben appeared the next morning. He looked after us at mealtimes and expertly fielded our many fauna/birding questions with great clarity & wit. Ben 2 also took us on a night bush walk. His care and knowledge was extraordinary and insightful. Thoroughly recommended.
Then there was 'Si' who took us on a morning bush walk to give us a taste of tracking and birding round the beautiful reserve. Again very knowledgeable with a keen sense of humour.
Kuleni is a perfect location to explore from, with Hluhluwe national park just 3/4 hours away.
What made this visit very special was the warmth, friendliness and helpfulness of Bushwillow's staff.
Our four nights passed far too quickly and it was a sad parting on our last morning.
Thank you again to the staff, seen and unseen who made our visit so memorable.

Von Sternen, Strom und vogelspinnen
Tief im Busch befinden sich etwa 5 cottages, sauber und freundlich eingerichtet, sogar ein Minipool gehört dazu. Um das Haus herum schleichen Antilopen, nyalas und kudus, hüpfen Affen und krabbeln geschäftige vogelspinnen. Abenteuer pur, wenn man feststellt, dass man völlig allein ist in der Anlage, kein weiterer Gast und auch niemand von den Angestellten und plötzlich für zwei Stunden auch noch der Strom ausfällt. Dafür gibt es dann einen sensationellen Sternenhimmel und ein urwaldorchester höchster klanggüte.

Was a very beautiful family room (two bedroom unit).
Only issue is at night it was very dark and some of the decking had weak boards and one of the workers almost fell. It was lucky it wasn’t one of the guests as we were 50km from the nearest clinic.

We already knew Bushwillow Collection from a previous visit some four years ago and were very satisfied then.
Unfortunately, the quality has decreased significantly: with the cleanliness, it is no longer everywhere the best order.
There are some defects such as broken lights indoors and outdoors, stained dish towels, musty towels.
The cutlery was very incomplete, so there was only a single teaspoon.
Some information was missing, such as whether the water from the line was drinkable.
The useful wheelbarrows to transport the suitcases were all broken, so that the suitcases were pulled through the partly sandy bottom - unsightly for the suitcase roles and the cleanliness inside.
The staff was friendly and helpful.
Overall, the system looks now pretty loveless. We hope that the management improves the negative points so the lodge will live up to its previous good ratings.

We had a lovely stay at Bushwillow collections. The accommodation was in great condition, the little pool much needed in the heat and being surrounded by the bush and wildlife was good for the soul.
De Wet and Dane were great hosts, quick to answer any questions and always keen to engage and accommodate us. I highly recommend it and will be going back there.

Remote lodge in wilderness type location
Friendly and helpful staff. We stayed for 1 night. The major draw back is the location : very remote in the middle of nowhere. No TV and no WiFi. Only suitable for people who seek to “ be away from it all”!

Wohnen im Busch!
Wir haben 3 Nächte in der Tambotie Lodge verbracht, ein Bungalow mit vielen Fenstern und Blick in die Natur. Wenn man dann auf der Terasse sitzt und Giraffen laufen in 3 Meter Entfernung an einem vorbei, ist das schon ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis. Zum Frühstück und Abendessen wurden wir bestens versorgt. Absolute Empfehlung!!!
