Not good enough for what they charge!!
Pros:

The location, the meals and the guided tours to see wildlife and bushman paintings.

Cons:

Unfortunately soon after arrival I had a small piece of glass in my foot when I stepped on the carpet. This happened twice.
After that I wore slippers all the time.
Also after taking a bath late at night, I pulled out the plug and the bathroom floor flooded. I spent all night trying to mop it up so my husband would not slip if he got up during the night.
The staff didn't seem too concerned about it.
It would be bad enough at a cheap place but worse for such an expensive place!

The best short holiday

Everything. I loved everything about this property. It is an oasis of beauty and calm, an opportunity to learn about the environment and peoples of the region, to hike and relax. Liam, our guide during our stay will stay forever in our memories. Came away inspired.

Stunning, amazing, breathtaking, fantastic....... einfach wunder, wunder schön:- )
Pros:

Bei der Frage "was hat Ihnen gefallen?" weiß ich nicht, wo ich anfangen soll. Wir sind immer noch sprachlos und dankbar dieses Paradies erlebt haben zu dürfen. Wir haben schon viel gesehen und erlebt, aber Bushmans Kloof ist sicherlich ganz, ganz oben dabei. Jeder Wunsch wird von den Augen abgelesen und die Drives mit dem persönlichen Guide Lonie waren eine Klasse für sich. Ich werde noch lange davon schwärmen...... und die Cederberge haben mein Herz erobert. Nächstes Mal mind. 3 Übernachtungen, denn 2 sind für dieses Paradies fast etwas knapp.

Cons:

da fällt mir nichts ein

Lovely overall experience
Pros:

The staff, the effort they make to make one feel comfortable, the location, the views, the rooms.
Great getaway for a few days in a unique setting.

Cons:

For the level of service they offer and price they charge, soft drinks and house wines should be included in the price. Other lodges at this price point are truly "all inclusive". It somehow tarnishes the experience a bit.

Als je het kunt veroorloven, zeker doen👌🏼🙂
Pros:

Dit was een next level experience met fantastisch personeel in een oase midden in een natuurgebied. Lijkt alsof je in een andere werkelijkheid verblijft
