    What a great find. Lovely atmosphere. Very tasty food. Amazing staff. You won't find better value in South Africa. Sitting round the fire or listening to local live music in the bar, in a totally relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by great people.

    Lovely place to spend a night or two when visiting the Wilderness area. The room we were staying in was great with a traditional roof we've seen only on higher end lodges, and the breakfast was as fresh as it gets! N/A

    Everyone working there was very friendly, easy to meet people and every night is a fun night. It's also walkable to the main hiking trails. I also thought that I left my passport there, and everyone put in their efforts to find it. My passport ended up being found somewhere else, and I really appreciated the help.
