Varied: some reviewers loved spacious, aesthetic units and braai/patio areas, but others noted dated furniture, uncomfortable beds, basic bathrooms and plumbing problems (slow water pressure).

Strong amenities: multiple pools (hot and cold), jacuzzi/hot tub, kids' activities, braai areas and many on-site activities were frequently praised.

8.8
Food and restaurant staff received positive mentions (good food, friendly staff), though a few guests experienced slow restaurant service at times.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful setting.
Pros:

Well maintained gardens and facilities. Just love the animals and abundant birdlife.

Cons:

The little onsite shop is not stocked very well; especially with the basics. Think the property is missing out on revenue; could be opportunity to expand selection and maximise the captive customer base.

Okay.
Pros:

It’s like a summer little houses inside of a golf club, the views of the animals are amazing, also that you can do a lot of activities. They cleaned the room that was a nice surprise. There’s bbq but no kitchen to do like french fríes or something.

Cons:

The bed was hard, The Jacuzzi was absolutely dirty with moho all around. I used the bath tub and it flood all around. The bathroom does not has a properly door so you can hear everything that the other person is doing.
