What our Guests Say

  • 100% as absolutely appropriate in their name as it was truly a blessing to be hosted by such an amazing team. Their sense of generosity and attentive hosting was out of this world. Too many stand out team players – Sean, Darren, Trevor, Tasmin, Natalie & team, Mama Gift … to housekeeping, waitrons, and trackers. The genuine love of hosting shone like a beacon.
    Extremely well-resourced villa as ideal for families travelling, or sole-use for friends booking as a party group since self-contained with the kitchen and outdoor entertaining areas, private vehicle, etc. Yet having a sense of private “wings” with the well-planned design layout.
    The incredible attention to detail, time and effort, in pre-planning the events for the Wilderness Challenge Day would make for a special team-building venue to others for sure.
    The dinner venues were perfect as we were able to enjoy the wide-open vistas at the wine cellar, balanced with an indoor top notch setting in the main dining area. The table settings are an indication of the delicious dishes to follow. Very well thought out varied meal locations whether at the fireside, to the rooftop, or at the outdoor terrace.
  • Loved that the barman was creative in his drinks, as he took into consideration that I wanted no alcohol but something that still looked like It was the real deal. Shout out to KG and Sydney.
    Thanks to the great competence of our guides and trackers, we had some thrilling encounters during our game drives, one of them was viewing the Lions exclusively. This would not have been possible without their collaboration as tracker and guide and other guides in the area.
    The property is fully 5 star and equivalent in lux to any of the famed lodges in the region in regard to architecture, design, food etc. Great gym and spa. Really fabulous guides with years and years of experience. Great sleep out /picnic platform or you can sleep on your roof top if you like. Each room has its own pool and there is a bigger pool at the main lodge. They include a fantastic heli experience over the Blythe River Canyon for honeymooners... A real mind blower of a trip!
    Really liked that we had a ‘check-in’ in the suite individually rather than a group check in the made area, that made it feel more exclusive and personal.

Don't Wait.
