This property is perfection... the hosts and staff ensured our stay in this magical place was simply sublime. The room was exquisite, tastefully furnished, with a view over the bush from your shower. Who could possibly want more? Set on a nature park with daily safaris, this lodge boasts a pool, outdoor eating areas, very cool bar and a feel of pure luxury. We were spoiled with top notch cuisine - in fact, some of the best food we have ever had throughout our trips to South Africa. Natasha looked after us impeccably, whilst maintaining our privacy. The owners are lovely and helped organise horse riding for my husband - what an amazing time he had. An 8 hour personal ride throughout the diverse bush with a fabulous guy - the highlight of his holiday. The owners arrange other such trips - including into Kruger Park. We did this ourselves - the lodge is perfectly situated for Kruger, Panoramic route and so much more. This place is ultra chic, uber cool and a very slickly run operation. The detailing is top, top notch - 5 nights was not enough for us. We left a little of our hearts in this very special place - congratulations to the WBL team - we can’t wait to return.

Der Empfang war nett. Die Unterkunft idt geschmackvoll eingerichtet, jedoch wurde an entsprechenden Böden gespart. Das Essen war gut, ebenfalls das Frühstück. Unsere Bewertung kann leider nicht positiv abgegeben werden. Wsren wir beim Frühstück und wollten danach vor einer kangen Weitereeise noch entspannen - war unser zimmer um 08.51 Uhr bereits in den Händen der Reinigungdkräfte. Dies glich einem reinen Reisschmiss. Check out war noch nicht erfolgt.
