Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs C from York

"We had an upgrade to a mountain view, which got our holiday off to a great start!

We ate all our evening meals in the bar area, and the menu was just what we wanted - not too formal, and friendly staff."

"Staff were very accommodating, providing advice on restaurants and help booking a boat trip. A wonderful place to stay, with views out to sea, and whale watching a matter of steps away.

We took a boat trip whale watching on our first day, but the following day we were able to see wonderful whale displays from the cliff path. Stunning breakfast room, with great views and food."

"Fascinating hosts and location. Really different accommodation, and allowed us to visit a part of the country that we might not otherwise have got to.

Jens suggested a great trip for a day out, and the food was great - home cooked, and a welcome change from "restaurant" fare!"

"Great location next to the beach, with hosts who were very welcoming. Within minutes of our arrival our car had been washed, and we had made arrangements for washing clothes!

We were provided with very helpful advice on restaurants to visit, and our breakfasts on the terrace were memorable."

"The highlight of our holiday. Everyone was very welcoming, and couldn't do enough for us. This was our first safari experience, but it's hard to see how anywhere else could better Kwandwe - even the animals co-operated! It took some self restraint to say no to the constant supply of great food.

The ranger and guide who took us out on each day were brilliant - very knowledgeable and informative, and easy to get on with. We were fortunate that when the party who shared the first couple of drives with us had left, they were not replaced with a further party, and we had the vehicle all to ourselves, which made it even more special for us.

Finally, the lodge manager and staff put on a candle-lit dinner for us, as we had let slip that the trip was a special celebration for us. When we left, it felt as if we'd become part of the furniture - quickly corrected by the staff to "part of the family"!"
