Pros:

Nous avons passé un super séjour !
Le personnel était au petit soin, accueillant et toujours disponible.
Le chef nous a régalé tant au dîner qu'au petit déjeuner.
La chambre était magnifique avec sa douche extérieure, mais aussi intérieure accompagnée d'une baignoire.
Nous avons eu un invité sous la terrasse pour notre plus grand plaisir.
A 1 heure de route de la porte Orpen du Parc Kruger.

Amazing stay, the food is michelin star here
Pros:

The property is absolutely beautiful, our room was very nice and spacious. We loved the attentiveness of the staff - so warm, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this property. I appreciate how they trained their cleaning staff - they clean the rooms thoroughly each day, like mopping, wiping down etc.

Then the star of the stay - Chef Connie😍😍. We have our breakfast and dinners for the 3 nights with her and what a wonder. Every meal was cooked to perfection. Even on the night they served fish and my husband requested an alternative, she did pork belly for him that I was jealous of.

The viewing deck is also a gem

Cons:

Oh nothing

A truly unforgettable experience to end our South Africa trip
Pros:

Im not quite sure where to start, how to even sum up our stay at Moya without going completely over the top.

It is one of the most welcoming locations we have ever been fortunate to stay at, at no point did we feel like guests, it was like being with very close family.

Gary, Constance and the girls were exceptional, with every little detail that contributed to our time at Moya was attended to.

We were so sorry to have to leave, we even considered moving / changing flights to stay longer.

This is far more than a lodge / Hotel / stopover - it's an experience, one that we will never forget and strive to repeat.

Thank you so much for allowing us to be a small part of your Moya story - until we meet again, our hearts remain in South Africa.

David & Nicky

Cons:

Having to come home & saying goodbye!
