Lidiko Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"We loved this hotel. Is peaceful. The staff and the administration are kind and helpful. "
Leopard Tree Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"We had a two night stay to allow us to go in a nearby safari. Whilst we didn’t use any of the facilities such as the pool, the room was clean and exactly what we needed."
Ezulwini Game Lodge
8/10 Good
"Salle de bain étriquée , chambre et salon spacieux"
Leopard Corner Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic property, really just a beautiful, wonderful place. We only stayed for the night but would love to come back and enjoy the Leopard Corner for a week or so, there’s so much to see and do and the place is so comfortable, clean and at the same time homey. The host was fantastic, so gracious and we had to leave early to catch a flight so he packed us a to go lunch. Highly, highly recommend, 10 stars! *****"
Malkoha Lake St. Lucia
10/10 Excellent
"The property is beautiful and I loved the boardwalks through the forest. The staff was very helpful, professional, and friendly - they went out of their way to accommodate me as a vegetarian and the chef made a delicious curry even though it wasn't on the menu. Thank you for the lovely stay!"
AmaZulu Lodge
8/10 Good
"Lovely clean property that is centrally located so most activities walkable. Few issues with electrics and hot water, but to be expected in this country. Fabulous breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. Would recommend. "
Emdoneni Lodge
8/10 Good
"The lodge is lovely with very attentive staff. The cat sanctuary is a must visit and trips to Hluhluwe was easy to organise. It is an easy drive to St Lucia and to Bayete to see the elephant education demonstration which is a must-do.
Be aware that there is very little around there so likely you will need to eat dinner at the lodge. The foods is quite plain with not much choice. Also be aware that the rooms have no TVs.
I would recommend the Lodge for its position and the attentive staff."
Bushwillow Collection
