Hotels near Aquila Private Game Reserve, Touwsrivier

This is the second time we have been here, this time with our son. We were here in 2015 as a newlywed couple and again now with a 7 year old. Both experiences were excellent but different as we are now a family. The game drives are exactly as described on the site, and the guides go above and beyond with explanations - in fact, I wish we had done more research beforehand to ask more interesting questions, since the guide knew much more than we were capable of asking. We were lucky to see most of the animals up close, keeping in mind that a 10,000 hectare area is a wide area for the animals to roam. 10/10 for the staff - we arrived late for breakfast and they brought us food and coffee free of charge! This is a very family-friendly place and our son had a blast in the pool. Also, this is a real refuge for animals as there are many rescued animals and they have a 24/7 rhino security team to ensure they are safe. In a nutshell: exactly as described with a staff that goes above and beyond. Even the drive over was pleasant and comfortable with a very clean, cool van and a kind and safe driver. Thanks Craig!

The cottage looks better and larger than in the photos. It shows that every piece of decoration was chosen with care and the host was helpful and sweet.

The staff was very friendly and helpful

Very friendly staff, beautiful hotel and beautiful surrounding scenery. We went in August when it was less busy and the staff opened up the restaurant for dinner and breakfast just for us. Food was good and well priced. Would have loved to take a dip in the pool if it wasn't winter :) The hotel is also far enough from the main road and has a gate so feels very safe and secluded.

The hot tub is an awesome ammenity.
