We had no idea what to expect for our two nights and man were we happy with what we found. A safari before and after our safari - the property sits in a reserve!! The hosts are incredible and helpful. Local restaurants were fantastic. Rooms are great - breakfast outstanding - while watching the wildlife! Thanks - it was a wonderful part of our 5 week SA adventure.

Fantastic lodge.
Fantastic choice. We had a lovely, large room with an outdoor shower. There is a little patio outside each room with a view of the game park. Sue and Deon were great hosts and have a good knowledge of the local area. Breakfast was good. We loved our 3 nights here and hope to return.

Lieu calme et charmant, enclavé dans une petite réserve animaliere arborée. Le logement indépendant est spacieux et joliment décoré. Très bon accueil des propriétaires. C'est un très bon choix pour visiter Blyde Canyon ou pour faire une pause quand on descend le parc Kruger du nord au sud.

Speziell gelegenes schönes Haus und tolle Gatgeber
Super schönes Haus mit tollem Garten. Sehr netter Empfang mit erfrischendem Gesichtstuch und Welcome-Drink. Tolles Frühstück am Pool serviert. Der kleine Tierpark (begehbar) grenzt an das Grundstück, Tiere sind teils direkt vor dem Garten zu sehen. Zufahrt ist durch ein offizielles Gate in den privaten Resortbereich (wenn man es weiss einfach zu finden...)

Diese Unterkunft ist einfach grandios. Super nette Gastgeber, ein großes, liebevoll eingerichtetes Appartement und ein schöner Garten mit einem kleinen Pool. Das tollste aber ist die Lage in einem kleinen Wildreservat. Die Tiere kommen bis an den Gartenzaun und man kann zu Fuß durch das Reservat wandern. Nachmittags, wenn die Schatten länger werden und die Farben wärmer, ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Ganz in der Nähe gibt es auch ein sehr ansprechendes Restaurant.

Lodge perfeito!
Sue e dean são um casal incrível, foram atenciosos a todo momento enquanto estivemos hospedados no lodge, mesmo com nossa limitação da língua foram muito pacientes e nos deram varias dicas. O quarto é muito legal, estilo savana mas com muito bom gosto, perfeito para casal que procura algo romântico. O lodge fica localizado dentro de um condomínio fechado, onde lá mesmo já existem animais selvagens. A distância do Kruger fica mais ou menos 01 hora de carro (portão palaborwa). Com certeza indicamos o lodge e queremos em breve voltar, nos sentimos em casa.
