“Room was crawling with bugs and had a stench that lasted throughout our entire stay. I do not recommend staying here. They overcharged for every possible service as well.”
“Great place to stay to enter Phabeni gate. Safe, clean, comfortable, they prepare great breakfast bag to take to the car. Would go there again for sure!”
“We were blown away. The photos online don’t do this resort justice — in person, the property is even more beautiful.
It’s the perfect mix of relaxing and luxurious, with a spa, full-service restaurant, and amenities that make you never want to leave.

“The Room was great and clean. The main fault was the inability to be able to walk out of the lodge and have the freedom to go out to the shops and town.
