Mushara Bush Camp

Arrived
19 Sep 2014
"During our stay we had dinner in the open air. The atmosphere was great till it suddenly started raining and lightning. The staff obviously wasn't prepared. But they improvised so that we, partly could continue our dinner in the main lodge.
Our advise: keep on serving dinner in the open air, unless rain is expected."

Sun Karros Daan Viljoen
"Sun Karros Daan Viljoen review"
1 night
Arrived
22 Sep 2014
"During our stay there only was one other room rented and there were some campers on the camping area. The restaurant wasn't during our stay prepared to welcome people for dinner, nor for breakfast.
The rooms do have great braaiplaces! It was a pitty we couldn't buy food and charcoal at Daan Viljoen. So we couldn't use the braai.
Great lodge and beautiful place to stay."

Feedback response
We received the following response from Daan Viljoen: We truly regret that the experience did not live up to expectation in particular with regards to service in The Boma Restaurant. We appreciate honest feedback as it gives us opportunity to prioritise these areas within our ongoing training and coaching efforts with our teams. We are grateful for the positive comments made separately by these guests on the overall tasty food and overall positive impression of the Sun Karros Daan Viljoen facilities. Please be assured that urgent attention has/is being given to the service delivery within the Boma Restaurant from the Kitchen to the general service on the floor, and we believe this effort will positively reflect on future guests. We are absolutely aware of how important service delivery is and are truly committed to up the game in the Boma Restaurant!
