Comfortable, with small kitchenette - ideal for making a simple meal and then sitting and eating on the verandah outside. The owners were very helpful with advice on the broad area. The Hluhluwe reserve's Memorial Gate is not far - about 20 minutes drive away, making the Lodge convenient for your visit. ##### Hans Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Des Jan 7, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities We loved the beautiful gardens and amazing wildlife and Forest walk,unfortunately due to the terrible drought this little gem of a place has taken a knock. The owners are trying their best and we wish them well in their efforts to bring it back to its former glory. It is quoted as rustic but little things like steam cleaning the bathroom grouting would give it a fresher look,for eg.Otherwise it was clean and suitable for perhaps a one night stay. We would recommend it to others and go back again for sure. ##### Des Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 16, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [The Taj Mahal Palace Mumbai](https://www.expedia.ca/Mumbai-Hotels-The-Taj-Mahal-Palace-Mumbai.h19458493.Hotel-Information) > > [Clarion Hotel & Conference Centre Abbotsford ](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilliwack-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h81259.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sauble Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Sauble-Beach-Hotels.d6336296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Ziva Cancun All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Hyatt-Ziva-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h11669114.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Pearson-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYYZ-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178245-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Toronto West KOA](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Toronto-West-KOA.h12284528.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Lethbridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lethbridge-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Lethbridge-Lodge.h458794.Hotel-Information) > > [BestWestern Hotels in Whistler](https://www.expedia.ca/Whistler-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d4115--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Milos](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Agistri-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-n6063016-0-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dxb/toronto-to-dubai) > > [Flights from Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/602873/flights-from-halifax) > > [Flights from Arnavutköy (IST) to Amman (AMM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ist/amm/istanbul-to-amman) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Lincoln (YFC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/yfc/abbotsford-to-fredericton) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Paro (PBH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/pbh/calgary-to-paro-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Palma de Mallorca (PMI) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pmi/yyz/palma-de-mallorca-to-toronto) > > [Flights from bellingham intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/bli/flights-from-bellingham-intl-airport) > > [Condor](https://www.expedia.ca/Condor-Flights.cDE.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Zihuatanejo (ZIH) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/zih/pvr/ixtapa-to-puerto-vallarta) ### Cars ### Packages ### General > [Visit Wasaga Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Wasaga-Beach.dx181914)
