"Buffelsdrift is an absolute gem. We loved every moment of our stay and wish we could have enjoyed it for a bit longer. The 5 star service - from reception, restaurant (food and service), turn down service and check out - was excellent. We will be making another reservation very soon! Thank you!!"

"Heather (a/c unit) wasn't functioning well and nights were freezing. We reported that but nothing was done. 3 nights of suffering.
