Back to high level
Beautiful view, peaceful environment, well equipped cabin. I’ve reviewed this facility before and it was unfortunately not positive; but I was pleasantly surprised this time!

Beautiful property but cottage needs facelift
Beautiful property and area. Pygmy Cottage needs a facelift though! Some areas of tiles cracked, grout dirty, paint peeling, cornices pulling away and generally just run-down and in need of a make-over.

Great views, super hosts.
Super place, amazing owners, food was Devine and we had a very restful time. Only drawback was the steep staircase, a bit difficult to manover at our age (55+) but the rest was amazing. Definitely will go back.

A haven from the grind of long travel
We are on a rather long stay in southern Africa, which means staying in many types of lodging. This place was like a sanctuary from the hotel grind. The owners are warm and welcoming, the site is absolutely beautiful, and it has all the amenities we needed. Too bad we were only there one night because this lodge could serve as a virtual retreat from the stress of travel. We would have enjoyed more time simply to sit outside and watch and listen to the river flow.
