Our best stay in South Africa. This is an amazing lodge with wonderful rooms and great staff. Our room was huge and private and the cleaning staff kept the rooms beautiful. Nightly turndown service, great food and restaurant service, wonderful guides. Mzi was our game drive guide and he was cheerful, funny, entertaining, and extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the reserve. He definitely made our stay memorable, I can't recommend him more highly. We stayed in the water lodge and got views of the hippos in the lake below us. We were there only two nights due to our travel schedule, but regretted not booking a third night.

The location was excellent. I could walk to where I had to be on the Rhodes campus. The guest house is very close to the Arch/Drostdy entrance. I stayed in the self-catering flat. There is a full kitchen (stove with oven, microwave, kettle, fridge with freezer compartment, utensils, crockery, etc.). The bed was warm and comfortable with a good (hot) shower in the bathroom. There is safe parking behind a security gate and good Wi-fi.

Absolutely amazing stunningly beatiful place. Not a thing I can fault from the food, drink, staff, rooms, views or the location. And the game drives ...wow! Pooms or game ranger was amazing...such sights we experienced due to him. The little touches like having the fire lit in our room, the hot water bottles, the blankets on the game drives for the cold mornings...cannot speak highly enough
