Where should we start... The first impressions of the lodge were fantastic, all the decoration, and the views from the deck were just breathtaking.
We were told that our agency didn't book the game drive for that evening despite the fact we have paid for it, but Francois was more than helpful and found a way to accommodate us on the drive anyway.
We did in total four game drives at the reserve, sunrise and sunset, and we were lucky enough to have Sammy as our guide. Sammy has so much knowledge about the animals, and the reserve, and also a lot of patience to reply to all our questions. We saw lions and lionesses, cheetahs, white rhinos, a giraffe, loads of birds, impalas, we were very lucky!
The food and service of the hotel is also another point to make. The staff were always so friendly, and the food was fantastic! They also had a great selection of South African wines and beers.

We didn't want to leave!

Fabulous views over the bush and Drakensberg mountains coupled with outstanding sunsets. Great food, great staff and spa. Rooms could do with an upgrade but very comfortable and clean.We will continue to go back. A bush and Hoedspruit gem!

Super nice location and very friendly staff! The Infinity pool and the view over the reserve is awesome and completes the already stunning experience. The dine area is on an elevatet terrace and let you have a look on the wild animals nearby.
The food was very good as well.
All in all it was a great experience and we can recommend it to every one.
