The safari guides are really friendly and professional. ##### Shasheen Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Apr 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at this property was beyond a dream, our room was quiet, in the middle of nature. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate all our needs and more. The sunset drive and sunrise walk were amazing, seeing the animals so close was a wonderful experience. Jeremiah was so knowledgeable. The food was great! Can’t say how fantastic our stay here was! ##### Elizabeth Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Feb 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I cannot begin to express how wonderful the lodge, the staff and my stay here was. Unembeza is fantastic! It is located in an estate with other private properties. You will need to receive a code from the hotel to enter the estate and drive/ride, slowly for approximately 2 miles to get to the lodge. Along the way you will pass warthogs, kudu and impala…one guest told me he saw giraffes also. Frank greeted me and registered me at checkin. He showed me around the lodge and took me to my AMAZING room in the Monkeythorn building. My room was stunning. I had an incredible massage, given by Maria. I would highly recommend her. At breakfast, Vote, served me with incredible warmth, conversation and a smile. I wish I could remember all the names but everyone was amazing. It is unusual to find a place of this caliber anywhere in the world like this. It is a ways from Kruger National Park, so allow an hour or ninety minutes to get to the gate. hope to return someday. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brad Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff and the food was terrific! ##### Brad Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luisa Oct 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Room was extremely clean, staff was very friendly, welcoming and helpful.

The little extra touches to make one feel pampered are everywhere. Tanya is an excellent hostess and the staff can't do enough for you. And the bed was heavenly!! ##### Lance Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Aug 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room here was beautifully appointed, and the bed was very comfy. The property was really quiet and it had a lovely pool. It was unfortunately too cold to take a dip in winter. There was wifi available everywhere, but its speed could vary depending on where you were. It would have been nice to have some bathrobes available in the room. The views from the property were lovely, especially when you are on the observation deck and can see the Drakensbergs in the distance. The breakfast and dinner was enjoyable and generally varied each day. The service was also lovely and friendly. I stayed in the Mbali villa so it was about a 5 minute walk down the road back to the main building for meals. In the evenings, they can organise a shuttle to collect you and bring you back as it gets very dark outside. ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Busisiwe Carol Sep 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Place We had a beautiful stay and enjoyed everything.

O único porém é que a localização exige que o hóspede jante no hotel todos os dias, com valores um pouco salgados. De qualquer modo, voltaria outras vezes. ##### Paulo Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wataru Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 素晴らしいロッヂ。 スタッフもみんな笑顔で親切です。 ##### Wataru Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina Mar 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wunderschöne Unterkunft.

We enjoyed our brief stay. We arrived late in the day and left early, so we did not have time to enjoy all the lodge and spa have to offer. The pool was a bit of a disappointment because it was dirt and the surface of the pool was peeling. The pool area could use a bit of sprucing up, but otherwise, everything was great. Very clean and cozy. We had everything we needed and the hosts were lovely. ##### Kathryn Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Glenda Oct 19, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Maritz stay The stay was wonderful and the food Devine!!

A minha estadia começou muito ruim! Reservei um quarto para 3 pessoas conforme disponível no site do hotéis.com e chegando lá nos avisaram que minha reserva estava para 2 pessoas e que eu teria que pagar pela cama extra. Eu mostrei a comprovação da reserva e a atendente - Tânia - foi pouco solicita a ajudar ( mesmo eu mencionando não ter celular disponível para ligar). Ela foi insistente dizendo que na página de reservas dela, do expedia, mencionava apenas 2 pessoas. Ela pediu minha reserva e só imprimiu a parte que mencionava a parte que interessava a ela - que a reserva estava feita para 2 pessoas - sendo que abaixo mencionava que o quarto era pra 3 camas twin. Ela fez questão de ligar pra expedia, o mesmo sistema dela que já mencionava uma reserva de 2 adustos. Sendo que minha reserva estava feita pelo hotéis.com e nesse mostrava 3 adultos. Falei para ela que seria em vão. Ligamos no hotéis.com, ela fez a ligação depois de muito pedir a ajuda dela, de implorar de fato, e quando conseguimos falar com a atendente a ligação caiu e ela me disse que não ligaria de novo que teria que pagar. Mais uma vez tive que me estressar, levantar a voz, alegar que tinha pego pelo menos 2 pessoas, e que ela teria que me ajudar. Segundo ela, essa seria a última vez que ligaria e que se caísse ela não faria mais nada. Assim, ligamos novamente e o atendente disse que teve um erro na Reseva e que realmente estava para 3 pessoas e não para 2 como ela relatava! Ou seja, eu estava correto. ##### Luan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Aha Makalali Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Aha-Makalali-Private-Game-Reserve.h2343567.Hotel-Information) - [Mist of Gold](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Mist-Of-Gold.h19103173.Hotel-Information) - [Toro River Lodges Big 5 Exclusive Safari](https://www.expedia.com/Gravelotte-Hotels-Toro-River-Lodges-Big-5-Exclusive-Safari.h39601901.Hotel-Information) - [Oase by 7 Star Lodges - Greater Kruger Private 530ha Reserve](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Oase-By-7-Star-Lodges.h90671925.Hotel-Information) - [Matumi Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Matumi-Game-Lodge.h3889216.Hotel-Information) - [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) - [Milima Big 5 Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Milima-Big-5-Safari-Lodge.h89239262.Hotel-Information) - [Safari Moon Luxury Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Safari-Moon-Luxury-Bush-Lodge.h80246317.Hotel-Information) - [Am Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-AM-Lodge.h9804572.Hotel-Information) - [The Baobab Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-The-Baobab-Bush-Lodge.h17933811.Hotel-Information) - [Nzenga Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Nzenga-Lodge.h94641828.Hotel-Information) - [Exceptional location since located directly on the edge of the savannah.](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Exceptional-Location-Since-Located-Directly-On-The-Edge-Of-The-Savannah.h39205189.Hotel-Information) - [Guest house Inside A Wildlife Estate](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Guest-House-Inside-A-Wildlife-Estate.h32729083.Hotel-Information) - [Tshukudu Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Tshukudu-Game-Lodge.h3648374.Hotel-Information) - [Aerotel Hoedspruit](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Aerotel-Hoedspruit.h96808582.Hotel-Information) - [Thandolwami Bush Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Thandolwami-Bush-Lodge-Spa.h97180725.Hotel-Information) - [Call of the Wild Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Call-Of-The-Wild-Lodge.h28406735.Hotel-Information) - [Moya Safari Villa](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Moya-Safari-Villa.h38166375.Hotel-Information) - [Littlebush Private Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-LittleBush-Private-Lodge.h22632722.Hotel-Information) - [Shikwari Nature Reserve](https://www.expedia.com/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Shikwari-Nature-Reserve.h3845618.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Maruleng](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Maruleng.d553248635943691558.Flight-Destinations) - [Maruleng Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Maruleng.d553248635943691558.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Maruleng](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Maruleng.d553248635943691558.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Maruleng Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Maruleng.d553248635943691558.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Maruleng](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Maruleng.d553248635943691558.Travel-Guide-Activities)
