Well-located for Hluhluwe

Individual rooms in a beautiful garden setting. Comfortable, with small kitchenette - ideal for making a simple meal and then sitting and eating on the verandah outside. The owners were very helpful with advice on the broad area. The Hluhluwe reserve's Memorial Gate is not far - about 20 minutes drive away, making the Lodge convenient for your visit.

We loved the beautiful gardens and amazing wildlife and Forest walk,unfortunately due to the terrible drought this little gem of a place has taken a knock. The owners are trying their best and we wish them well in their efforts to bring it back to its former glory. It is quoted as rustic but little things like steam cleaning the bathroom grouting would give it a fresher look,for eg.Otherwise it was clean and suitable for perhaps a one night stay. We would recommend it to others and go back again for sure.
