So close but missed the mark
The room and facilities were wonderful, and our stay would have been great if the check-in hadn’t been sour. We pulled in at time of check-in, 2pm and were buzzing outside to be let in for 15 mins so we decided to go to small town and come back. On our return it took another 5 mins to get a response, then as we walked in the reception staff just said he had fallen asleep. My husband came in and complained about the wait, the staff got upset and became very rude. Really unnecessary, a sorry would have been good enough.

Clean and luxurious
The staff were very friendly and accomodating, the little personal touches (like towels at the pool, umbrellas for use at the beach) were very thoughtful and made the whole experience amazing.

Ideal getaway near Hluhluwe
A well-managed establishment close to the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Beautifully appointed room and wholesome breakfast. Great garden area.

Leider nicht zu empfehlen. Aufgrund von Problemen bei Buchungen mit dem Hotel bzw. seiner Bank (es wurde mal verfrüht abgebucht, dann doppelt) wurde letztlich, und wir befanden uns bereits im Urlaub, behauptet man habe nicht gezahlt und lud uns aus. Das muss man sich mal vorstellen. Noch nie erlebt sowas. Wie das Hotel ist, wenn man dort ist, können wir somit nicht beurteilen aber so ein Verhalten, was da an den Tag gelegt wurde, lässt mich nur zu dem Fazit kommen, dass Sie lieber ein Hotel im nahen Umkreis suchen sollten. Solch eine Aktion hat für kurze Zeit den Urlaub kaputt gemacht.

Gutes Guesthouse in Hluhluwe
Waren für 1 Nacht im Kudu-Room. Zimmer ist geräumig und angenehm ausgestattet. Die Lodge liegt recht ruhig am Ortsrand. Unser Zimmer ging zum Innenhof und so bekam man gelegentlich Gespräche anderer Gäste mit. Da es am Abend recht kühl war, hatte aber niemand Lust, sich lange draußen aufzuhalten. So hatten wir eine ruhige Nacht. Das Frühstück war schmackhaft und reichhaltig. Die Lodge eignet sich gut als Standort zum Besuch der umliegenden Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Wir haben die Amazulu Lodge aufgrund ihrer Nähe zum Nationalpark gewählt (ca. 15min Anreisezeit). Die Zimmer und insbesondere das Badezimmer waren sehr geräumig und sauber. Leider gab es einen leichten müffeligen Geruch. Hier würde vielleicht ein Raumdeo helfen. Der Besitzer hat uns freundlich empfangen und gleich Informationen zum Ort (Einkaufsmöglichkeiten/Restaurants) zur Verfügung gestellt. Leider sind diese im Ort etwas eingeschränkt. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht gebucht, da wir früh zum Nationalpark losgefahren sind. Es sah allerdings gut und reichhaltig aus.
