Fantastic Stay
This was such a great spot. The views and the grounds were beautiful. The room was very nicely decorated and comfotable. The staff were fantastic and quite accomodating to our child who is a fussy eater. The 3 course meals were very good. Zebra and wildebeest came into the gardens and the staff gave them feed so they would come closer. I would highly recommeded and hope to come back again.

6/10 Good

The cottage was disappointing. The stairs were dangerous (tree with a flimsy rope for a rail?), the bedroom was okay but there was a drop step into the bath area! Did not like the fact that there was no bathroom privacy.

The Lodge was a nice place to stay. They served a delicious breakfast that was included in the price. It is far from town but they offered a lovely 3 course dinner each night that was extra. We saw zebras and baboons in the mornings.

Beautiful beyond expectations
amazing and how.. the resort is world class with excellent facilities and staff. very friendly and warm to guests. Breakfast was superb and filling with choice of hot & cold dishes. Vicky the owner and her staff went out of their way to help us enjoy our stay there. We saw zebras on the ground close to our cottage and were amazed.. a short drive to Blyde River Canyon Dam and its a beautiful place to spend the sunset. Hoidspruit is the closest town which is around 15 minutes away by car in case you to go out for dinner etc.

The place was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay. Only problem was the bed which made noise and swung when we turned around.

8/10 Very good

Very small room but also very cozy. We had mixed experience with the staff some where very friendly and informative and some where not very keen on service. The breakfast was excellent. The location was decent but not the best. The wifi was horrible at bussy hours and this was frustrating since we had to pay to use it.

Remote and within the Botanical Gardens, we loved this quiet oasis...until 5am when the zebras appeared on our veranda - lovely to see but not so keen on the noise.

We were only there for one night but loved the cottage. It was like a home away from home. The staff was very helpful in helping us maximize our time in the area.

Overpriced
Rooms looked out to garden but had walkway right in front of windows so we couldn't leave the curtains open. Bathrooms were outdated. We were charged for a tourist map that we didn't ask for. We were expecting it would be much closer to the canyon. Breakfast was great and staff were attentive. We got to see zebras milling around the grounds at breakfast.
