Exceptional stay
The size of the lodge is bigger than expected, so peaceful, spacious and well laid out. Brilliant location, close enough to all activities, but secluded enough to just relax and enjoy every moment. The lodges on the property are so spaced out, you barely see another person. Perfect place to just relax and enjoy down time in the bush. Nadia is an exceptional host, warm, friendly and willing to accommodate your needs.
Nothing.

L'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel, Nadia donne d'excellentes conseils et elle est toujours à l'écoute des sollicitations. Le séjour fut magnifique et se déroula dans un cadre idyllique, les animaux du parc viennent tous les jours près de l'hébergement. De plus celui est décoré avec beaucoup de goût, il est très bien agencé et confortable.

A beautiful and peaceful forest retreat with a wonderful host and a perfect location for exploring H
A beautifully furnished lodge with everything you need, including an air fryer, which is always a bonus when travelling with a baby. It felt like having our own special retreat in the forest. Our host, Nadia, was incredibly responsive and welcoming. She greeted us with drinks on arrival and was there to see us off when we left. The location is excellent, with lovely walks around the estate and easy access to Hluhluwe for early-morning game drives. A wonderful and relaxing stay.
