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 > [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > > [ANEW Hotel Witbank Emalahleni](https://www.expedia.ca/Emalahleni-Hotels-ANEW-Hotel-Witbank-Emalahleni.h111309.Hotel-Information) > > [Leopard Tree Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Lalapanzi-Guest-House.h18236837.Hotel-Information) > > [Zimbali Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballito-Hotels-Zimbali-Condo.h14730767.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartbeespoort Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hartbeespoort-Hotels-Hartbeespoort-Holiday-Resort.h29266993.Hotel-Information) > > [Marlin Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Marlin-Lodge.h6020379.Hotel-Information) > > [Thatchings Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Currys-Post-Hotels-Thatchings-Guest-House.h3808542.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) > > [Rivermead](https://www.expedia.ca/Himeville-Hotels-Rivermead.h12834703.Hotel-Information) > > [Seaside Apartment @ Perna Perna Umdloti](https://www.expedia.ca/Umdloti-Hotels-Perna-Perna-Umdloti.h69823538.Hotel-Information) > > [aha The Rex Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Knysna-Hotels-Aha-The-Rex-Hotel.h2667751.Hotel-Information) > > [The RidgePoint Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Emalahleni-Hotels-The-Ridge-Point-Hotel.h92535499.Hotel-Information) > > [Sani Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sani-Pass-Hotels-Sani-Mountain-Lodge.h36116080.Hotel-Information) > > [10 Elf Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Glentana-Hotels-10-Elf-Beach-House.h19397397.Hotel-Information) > > [Gonana Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Paternoster-Hotels-Gonana-Guesthouse.h44806063.Hotel-Information) > > [Accommodation in Addo on Sundays](https://www.expedia.ca/Colchester-Hotels-Accommodation-In-Addo-On-Sundays.h34870738.Hotel-Information) > > [Esiweni Luxury Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-Esiweni-Luxury-Safari-Lodge.h33761660.Hotel-Information) > > [Ledges Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jagersrust-Hotels-Ledges-Retreat.h31484582.Hotel-Information) > > [Mjejane River Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mjejane-River-Lodge.h6504964.Hotel-Information) > > [Nkambeni Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Nkambeni-Safari-Camp.h2202798.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Sibaya Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hillhead-Hotels-Royal-Sibaya-Hotel.h19629214.Hotel-Information) > > [Nutmeg Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Howick-Hotels-Nutmeg-Guest-House.h14890929.Hotel-Information) > > [33 The Bridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-33-The-Bridge-Resort.h38866374.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [SpionKop Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-SpionKop-Lodge.h6273598.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverbend Chalets Self Catering](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-Riverbend-Chalets-Self-Catering.h45388238.Hotel-Information) > > [Khayalami Hotels - Emalahleni](https://www.expedia.ca/Emalahleni-Hotels-Witbank-Boutique-Hotel.h44806866.Hotel-Information)
