    The A frame was a little tight, but not bad. I would go bigger next time.

    Beautiful Location, and well kept facilities. Friendly staff that supplied wood and cleaned up. Beds were comfy and warm.

    This wasn’t their fault but the rain had washed away bridges on the hikes and some of the trails were just pure mud and not very accessible for elderly/less fit.

    Beautiful dreamy setting, clean rooms, comfortable furniture and bedding, amazing fully equipped kitchen! Easy to access on cemented road. Loved the 2 sleeper chalets, walks were beautiful but hopefully next time it won’t be as wet/rainy.

    it can be difficult with a lot of luggage because you cant park near the chalet, but staff helped us with our bags. There was no wifi at all while we were there, not even in the common room as we were told. Not terrible to not have wifi in the chalets, but a bit inconvenient if you dont have any access at all.

    The location is beautiful, the chalets are very well equipped and clean. the views from the patio are incredible

    Really a stunning location. The chalet also had everything you need in the kitchen. A nice hot shower after a long of hiking is great to have. The hikes from the property are amazing. The Cavern cannibal cave hike is a must and they are just up tbe road. Thanks for a great stay.

    Make sure you pack all necessities, as closest shops are atleast 20km away.

    Location is out of the world. Secluded and peaceful. Food for the soul. The staff are very efficient and friendly. The hikes are all walking distance and many other activities close to the camp.

    The things we didn't like, and understandably, it's not something Sungubala can control, but the controlled burning of the veld opposite our room, and across the valley over our entire stay wasn't great. The hike was poorly signposted in some areas

    Amazing views, great room. Armstrong gave us a very warm welcome. The pool was amazing after a long hike. The kitchen was amazing, it was lovely sitting in the kitchen having a meal and watching the Eland and Baboons stroll across the mountains.

    The kitchen has few utensils. There are no shops or restaurants nearby, it is far from everything, so it is necessary to cook there and there were few utensils.

    It is a wonderful place in a wonderful environment. The decoration of the rooms and common areas is exquisite. The room is very comfortable. The views are a dream.

    The fridge seemed to leak gas and it was old. There were also insects on the beds which were quickly and thoroughly dealt with by the staff

    Beautiful views and friendly service who were quick to respond to concerns.
