Great place with amazing staff. The walk to the beach is very doable. It looks high but the pathway they created makes it very easy. Beach is simply amazing. The staff also needs mentioning. Amazing service all round.

after driving 5 min through dense forest we arrived at the reception, checked in and then went to the viewing deck which was overlooking a wide open field. The view was overwhelming.. deers, blue wildebeest, Zebras and three gIraffes were grazing in the wide expanse not more than 50m from us. The same 3 giraffes 'blocked' out path when driving the few meters to our bungalow. What an experience! The staff were super helpful. The AC wasn't properly cooking, a repair company was just on the premises and they gave them the order to right away also refill the gas on our AC unit.

It was a wonderful setting in the bush with a great restaurant serving tasty, hearty and well priced meals with friendly staff. We enjoyed the viewing deck and look forward to the completion of the revolving restaurant. The swimming pools and braai area were amazing and we loved seeing the buck on our walks around the lodge. Shannon and Enoch were very helpful and the boat cruise on the lakes was most memorable. The room was spacious and very comfortable.

This is a very well established lodge and everything worked well for us - is well maintained and owners are clearly committed to keeping it going at a high standard. Very friendly staff. It is quite 'down to earth' and does not try to impress with the more gimmicky approaches some places go for. We enjoyed watching the buck and the families of monkeys playing in the grass areas.

This place is surreal.

This place is surreal. There are hippos on the main street evry night as well as warthogs during the day. There are 526 species of birds in the town and surrounds. Access to Isimangaliso and the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserves is easy and convenient. Don't miss this extraordinary place. I recomment Gourmet and Grub as a good venue for food and drink.

Town is small and only supplies the basics.

Town is small and only supplies the basics. Very little paving in town. We felt a little unsafe visiting the Spar. No restaurants or activities for kids. The park is well worth visiting but ideally with a game viewer and guide as it's very hilly and the roads are in a nad state of repair.

We booked for 6 nights but left after the first night. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. The owners is misrepresenting the property. There was no ice machine. Aircon was not working. Shower is not draining the water away. Pool and entertainment area needs TLC. The unit was cockroach invested.

Mkuze is the best place to stay if you want to visit the Mkuze Game Reserve. We saw plenty at the two hides - herds of wildebeest, impala and nyala and plenty of birds. It's about 60 km to the Memorial Gate entrance to the Imfolozi-Hluhluwe Game Reserve - we got up early and got there as the gates opened to spend the day in the reserve. It's also worth driving up Jozini and taking a boat out on the dam. The hotel has a great offering of tours with their own guides.
